Re: Shave and a Haircut... Reply #50 – 22 years ago I no longer have to scroll down to get to the Forum link.The pull-down at the top of the page is better, but it's still two clicks instead of one.How 'bout regular hyperlinks following Home | Downloads | Site Map | Support | What's New?That way, I can use the mouse for one click, or I can use the keyboard to navigate to a hyperlink that's not so far down the page.

Re: Shave and a Haircut... Reply #55 – 21 years ago Terribly funny discussion about this tune; thoroughly enjoyed it (absolutely not kidding). And y'all helped me as well: I was looking for the best translation of 'to tap shave-and-a-haircut'. Now I know the rhythm, but am still looking for a Dutch equivalent... Quote Selected
Re: Shave and a Haircut... Reply #56 – 20 years ago I ask again:Can we get rid of "Jingle Bells" please?It ain't winter no more.Replace it with something that's not seasonal.PLEASE!It's bad enough I have to hear Elmo sing the tune every day(with text like "Ball, ball, ball; ball, ball, ball; ball, ball, ball, b'ball;or "Shoe, shoe, shoe..." or whatever).I am so sick of "Jingle Bells!"

Re: Shave and a Haircut... Reply #58 – 20 years ago I am begging:Please get rid of "Jingle Bells!"It ain't winter no more.Replace it with something that's not seasonal.I can't stand "Jingle Bells" in July! Quote Selected
Re: Shave and a Haircut... Reply #59 – 20 years ago But it is winter! (For about half the planet, anyway.) But I do agree - Jingle Bells is never good in July. I don't particularly like it any time.Cheers from wintery Canberra! Quote Selected
