There's a school reunion thing happening on Facebook
I know this because the few people I kept in contact with have status updates of 'going' and 'maybe', that kind of thing. I haven't been invited. This is either sad as fuck or really fucking great. [Would you go to/have you been to] a school reunion?
Alt: If you order a pizza from you local pizza place does it come with a little pot of sauce for dipping the crusts in? What sauce is best for crust dipping? Always seems to be garlic-mayo round here.
Altalt: Do you still buy CD's ?(I wont say vinyl as that'd make you either a smelly dinosaur or a cunt (or both)) What was the last one you bought?

Same here.
To be fair though, I doubt I'd go even if I was. I kept in contact with all the people I wanted to stay in contact with, why would I want to go to a party with a bunch of people I didn't like and who didn't like me?
From what I understand, all the cool kids at school stayed together in their friendship group and all married each other and that. I think that's pretty sad, if I'm honest.

I stopped buying CDs a while ago
I'm all about the mp3s now. Oddly, I'm more likely to buy vinyl now than I was when I was buying CDs. I don't know how far I believe this "warmer" sound they're suppose dto have, given that it's all going through the same amplification and speaker equipment. I just kind of like the whole retro thing.

I also strongly believe that all this guff about cables is so much bullshit. Sure, if you spend money on better equipment you'll hear a difference, but only to a point. Like everything else, it's subject to the law of diminishing returns. The cables you use won't fucking matter as long as you buy some with some decently made connectors.

I once spent a rather large amount of money on new speaker cable with the intention of Bi-Wiring my speakers
sadly I didn't realise that the cable was so thick that I couldn't fit two lots of it into the connections on the back of my amp. So it was a bit of a waste.

You see, I'm an enthusiast but I'm in a technical job, so I'm a bit more sceptical, I guess.
Speakers, for example, are internally wired with pretty narrow guage wire, so any savings on signal you make with big, thick cable is going to be lost inside the speaker. Also, audio doesn't require much bandwidth, so you don't need thick cable to begin with. The only place you're likely to get signal degradation is through the connectors.

Ah, yeah, when a file's compressed you get data loss in the top frequency range
Tends to kill the treble. Depending on the quality of encoding, most people aren't going to be able to tell the difference, though, as a lot of it's outside the human hearing range anyway. Most consumer equipment does more damage to the signal than mere compression, so for the average person it's meaningless.
I do agree that compression would be no use whatsoever for reference quality stuff.

In the late 90s there was a trend for massive over compression of CDs
In order to try to make them louder for radio play. It tended to make everything sound a bit shit.
If you're interested in this sort of thing you should read Perfecting Sound Forever, by Greg Milner. It is surprising interesting for a subject that could easily be very dull.

That's nothing to do with comrpession to get it onto the CD
that's the mastering process where everything is compressed so every part of the sound wave is the same "loudness" and it's still going on to this day. It leads to all songs having no dynamic balance.

The only reason some wines get great write ups from famous wine critics is because the wine makers make wines that they know the critic will like. But that doesn't mean you would like them.

Of course there is a difference, the technical specs prove that.
But the question is, can you hear that difference, and the answer is no. Unless, you are in a near perfect environment with a near perfect system. Since that situation will virtually never arise, the answer, to all intents and purposes, remains No.

There have been a few arranged for my school year. Went to one, admittedly late on. but only five people were there
Keep being invited to more, might go, might not. My schooldays are a long way behind me!
Alt:HAH! LOCAL pizza place? Just try to get any of the bastards to deliver here, even though I have a postcode that's supposedly covered by three pizza franchises they all clainm I'm too far away.
Altalt. No. And vinyl is, and always has been, crap.

I registered with FriendsReunited years ago,
and got invited to a school reunion. By someone who'd been there years before me, I'd never met, and the list of attendees looked appalling. Never go back. Schooldays were crap.

I don't know if I would, my first love would be there and she still breaks my heart on a regular basis.
I still buy CDs. Last one I bought was Viva Last Blues by Palace.

Been invited to a couple of reunions but couldn't be bothered. I am in touch with the people from school that I want to be.

I'm not sure I understand the point of school reunions
I'm in touch with the people who I want to be already. I've no desire to sit in a room full of prematurely aged blokes boasting about which spec of Audi their new job allows them to have whilst their bored wives desperately scan the room looking for someone interesting to unleash five years of sexual frustration onto.
Actually, I suppose the last part could be interesting.

I imagine they appeal to two types of people:
Those you describe, who feel they have made a success of their lives and are hoping to try to impress someone; and weirdos who haven't really moved on and are hoping that the fit girl in the class has still got nice tits.

I met someone in the street I went to school with the other day.
I pulled his tie dead tight and gave him a nurple.
apparently that's bad form when you're 32 :(

Everyone gets invited to mine as it's used as a fundraiser, although the specifically look for boys from creatin time periods in each one, ie 50s & 60s
alT: No, but garlic dip is obviously the best. I am going to make home made pizza this week, maybe I'll make dip as well
altalt: No, neither do I "buy" mp3s, but I'm a right 'Barry'

All the girls I fancied at school are now fatties
except one who last time I saw her, was sat down in the doorway of a pub, pissing her knickers.
I would be the boasting prick because I can only think of about 2 people in my year who have achieved more with their shitty lives than me. That said, I do come from the arse end of the world where not being on housing benefit makes you some kind of posh twat.

I wouldn't go to a school reunion, I hated school.
I've also been to about thirteen schools in total, so that's a lot of reunioning even if you don't count the primaries.
Alt: I once got a honey mustard and ginger dipping sauce which was nice.
Altalt: I don't buy music, I don't like enough of it

It's all Stalinist propaganda stuff like that state dictate 'that's what makes you beautiful.' Also a little known fact, The Wanted's 'I'm glad you came' is used a torture device by the EMI in their brainwashing sessions.

Are you just sad because five pre-pubescant boys who've never known the touch of a woman
haven't told you what it is that makes you beautiful?
BTW, it's your tits.
