The difference between valve and tube

[Turnaround]

That's why the inventor named them thermionic valves. They control the flow of ions, in the same way that plumbing valves control water.

All I know is that the plumbing tubes run into valves and they have done that for eons.

In Southeast Georgia Pecan country, they say pee can. Not pa con.

Well they’re just wrong then.

When I think of valves, I marvel at the Oval Piston technology of the Honda NR500, race bike. Thirty-two valves, of fun.

I should be allowed to like this more than once.

I start a thread joking about amplifier bits, and it becomes a series one about road safety.

I can't decide if there's a typo there ...

Tonight's appetizer is rarebit, the main course is boef pudding, and dessert is spotted dick. But I may not be able to eat after the extra butty I had at brekkie.

Also high pressure hydraulics needed for robotic action.

And for tubas!

tubes and valves together? Mind... blown...

I've never heard of beef pudding, let alone boef pudding (sounds a bit Frenchified).

Railway conductors must absolutely hate this stop.

They just call it Llanfair P.G.

In some editions of Under Milk Wood, the name of the village, called "Llareggub" in Dylan Thomas's original version, is censored as "Llaregyb," for fear of shocking any delicate flower who happened to read "Llareggub" backwards.

Well I'll be bygered.

“England and America are two countries divided by the same language.”

- George Bernard Shaw

I had trouble understanding my Geordie grandfather at times, and I am English, so it's not just two countries, it's different parts of England! I have less trouble understanding my wife who is from New York, although it took a while to understand that sure means "yes" and not "No, but I don't want to offend you by saying no", which is what it means in England. So my wife initially got fewer cups of tea than she'd have liked.

actually, the difference is that a tube is a series of internets

And for tubas!

I used to make hydraulic valves. I also used to have and play a tuba. I even played a tuba (first caller at 6:00 in the morning on the radio on Tuba Tuesday) and won a bunch of stuff. My lips were so swollen I could barely get a note out of it. The disc jockey said it sounded more like I was playing a vacuum cleaner attachment. We got a good chuckle out of the deal. When I told him I’d bring it by and play him a tune, he said don’t bother, he’d heard enough LOL!!!

We were taught at primary school to look both ways whenever crossing.

You just never know on this board where it’s going to end up. Apologies for my part.

What day is it for bagpipes? Or is that a sacktubes?

 

[Quadraphonic]

There is a difference between the valve and the tube. The valve has a sealed glass covering with electrodes inside and lets an amplifier make a tiny voltage big enough to drive a loudspeaker. The tube is an underground railway network in London.

 

[Quadraphonic]

They're the same except that one drives on the wrong side of the road.

You mean Simple Minds, surely?
