I need help......I'm an addict

Language weaves its own spell.

If I said 'Come on lets go and start a fire', you might think I mean let's go and set light to the local community centre or something. If I said 'Come on let's start a bonfire' you'd know exactly what I intended.

Your inclusion of "go" in the first instance alters the context a bit.

So a bonfire has to be big and outdoors? What about just a big fire outdoors that isn't called a bonfire?

It's like these daft terms management people and politicians use. What the fuck is a 'step change' or 'sea change', why can't we just have a change?

It refers to the size, or quality of the change: 'sea change' being perhaps a change from being in a ship sat in the doldrums to one where the ship could move. 'Step change' is one where there is an abrupt change, with no in-between state.

It's a bit like the oft-quoted "quantum leap". The 'leap' implies it is large, whereas quantum leaps are very, very small - the adjective 'quantum' implies it is a sudden step change, that is: discontinuous.

According to Hermes, this beast is now on the way from Germany to the UK.

I hate waiting!!!!!

On the plus side, I'm off to collect my newly renovated/repaired Monarchy SM-70PRO'S tomorrow.

That should keep me busy until Wednesday when I fetch the Krell

Perhaps you can talk her into a nice small electric piano? That could be stood on end in the closet when not in use. Many of the nicer ones can sound very good, and of course a synth keyboard can do many things a regular piano can’t do.

I've tried mate. It's just a non started. Her mom bought her the piano. She hasn't played it in 7 years!!! I understand the attachment though so I'm ok with it.

that's quite the collection. I'm not one to keep stuff hanging around so these amps will be moving fairly swiftly once I've picked a winner.

Apparently, she was a design consultant on the heatpipes.
