Robert Plant - Pre-Zep History
PennyLane replied to Jimmy's A Legend's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
I goggled the word "Plont" - my curiosity - here's what I found on Urbon Dictionary: 1. PLONT is an acronym for Persons of Little Or No Taste. It may be used to describe a person or a situation. It refers to people who may enjoy bad movies, crappy food or the occasional wrestling match. Plonts may think they have genuine taste while POTs (Persons Of Taste) know far better. 2. To upload data from your personal computer to a server. 3. Person of little or no taste. In particular, someone who knowingly likes low-brow, idiotic forms of entertainment (e.g., B-movies with gratuitous nudity). Maybe it was an inside joke! -
Robert Plant - Pre-Zep History

This is what I found on Wikipedia: Plonker is a slang term of British or Australian origin whose meaning has evolved over time. Partridge in the third edition of his A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English in 1949 recorded the term as "low" slang for penis, "since ca. 1917". The term remains in recent use with that meaning. By 1966, the term had also acquired the meaning of a man who let his girlfriend sleep with his male friends,[1] and in the 1980s had a new meaning of a stupid or inept person. This meaning gained very wide circulation through its frequent use in Only Fools and Horses, and has entered common usage.[2] In Australia the term plonker can also be used to describe a person who rides a Ducati motorcycle with panniers.[citation needed] In the UK, Plonker is also used as an affectionate term for someone involved in flower arranging.[3] -
Robert should have never had his hair cut and style. I also wonder what he was thinking!

Hi Virginia - Have you finished the book yet? I am about 1/2 way through reading "The Whole Truth". A great read. I have read most of Baldacci's books.

You should have your computer checked out. Have the computer store do a diagnostic check to see why it has a short in it. Had to replace a hard drive because the battery wouldn't charge, etc. This was a Apple Computer and for $350 it was worth it - the price included the hard drive, the screen etc.

From what I heard on Bloomberg this a.m., sounded like it a hostile takeover. Will have to wait and see what the final outcome is.

Looks like Sirius may be taken over by Liberty Media source. LOS ANGELES -- Debt-ridden Sirius XM Radio Inc. is seeking an investment from Liberty Media Corp., which controls Los Angeles-based DirecTV, to fend off an unsolicited takeover bid from satellite entrepreneur Charles Ergen, it was reported Thursday. The talks have set the stage for a battle between the leading U.S. satellite television providers -- DirecTV and Ergen's Dish Network Corp. -- for control of the country's only satellite radio operator, The Wall Street Journal reported. Liberty, controlled by billionaire John Malone, emerged as a potential white knight for Sirius after Ergen made an unsolicited offer to take control of Sirius late last year, the Journal reported. Though the talks between Sirius and Liberty are advanced, a deal remains far from certain, a person familiar with the issue told the newspaper. Ergen quietly began amassing Sirius debt in the fall. He is now using that debt, including about $175 million in bonds that mature on Feb. 17, as leverage to try to force Sirius into a deal, according to the Journal. Sirius, which carries a total debt load of about $3.25 billion, is nearly out of cash and likely will be forced into bankruptcy proceedings or a deal with Ergen if it can't secure funds to repay its obligations on Tuesday. The article is from: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29163641/ or wsj.com: Sirius Talks To Liberty To Fend Off Ergen Effort
