Little tip I've found - ambisonics and discussion of theory of such has a 
strangely hypnotic - soporific, even- effect when used as chat up material...

 As in I like the Stereophonics: they're a really good band, even 
 though they're from Wales as someone with a poor view of the Welsh 
 and who uses dating services might say...


I thought my knowledge of dating sites was total, but it seems exceeded by my 
lack of knowledge of Welsh Culture.

And it looks like Auro-3D is not an appropriate killer pick-up line, for my 
next romantic novel ... ;-)

OK I'm ditching the romantic novel for a police procedural ... and you've
earned yourself a role.

Dr L., the Crown's expert witness, testified that the victim could not
have given consent as she must have been comatose after the assailant had
explained ambisonics to her. This little known method of assault ...

The defendant would have been convicted had not ... yawn ... the jury
fallen asleep.

[Sursound] [OT] Dating ad surround sound

2014-09-29 Thread Michael Chapman

the guardian
(http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/sep/28/seven-secrets-of-dating-from-the-experts-at-okcupid)
reports the thirty most British online dating profile words* ... and there
amongst all the monosyllables is Stereophonics (with a capital 'S').

... bracketed  between 'lecturer' and 'bolognese' ...

This must 'say' something ... ?

Michael


*Here, I compared Britain’s OkCupid profiles to those from rest of the
English-speaking world, and pulled out the words that are algorithmically
most British. These are the words people in the UK disproportionately use
in talking about themselves.

 (Not me, obviously: happily married and with many Welsh antecedents.)
