How I wish she could come to Spain in tour, her last two visits when she come here she played in festivals. We dont have the chance to see her in live in a theatre in a private concert. I dont know why
No one but me is walking under palms that give no shade

the same question has been posed regarding Tori Amos, who has NEVER played a concert in Spain, spanish followers being forced to travel elsewhere to see her. finally somebody gave a response that seems to make sense: the venues in Spain are either too small (just a few hundred people) or way too big (tens of thousands in the audience), which is why her tour management won't consider it worthwhile to arrange for concerts in Spain. however, this explanation may seem halting if we try to apply it to Polly's lack of touring in Spain, since she did play at festivals where the audience was huge. even so, I'm just sharing this thought that came to mind just now.

It's a type character invented on computers, I'm not sure where or what for originally, but I use it a lot in web design. All it does is prevent line breaks at spaces, in Pollyphoniac's post, that made his paragraph into one long continuous line, verrrrry wide.
On a Mac keyboard, the key combination is option-shift-spacebar. But don't go trying to make people scroll left to right to read your posts please! I'd have to clean it up. Just because it bugs me.

Obviously so that two or more consecutive words would not be split on different lines by the word processor or whatever rendering engine (sorry off topic)

I wasn't aware of this and I'm telling you, I find it annoying whenever I have to read (or write) something and the lines just continue beyond the right margin. I've been having this problem on Facebook a lot lately and haven't known how to fix it.
even now, I don't know how to fix this (my previous post in this forum). it actually doesn't appear like a long continuous line on my screen. (and by the way, I'm at a public library computer now, so my ability to change things may be limited.)
but please tell me how to fix this kind of problem, because I dislike it as much as you do.
edit: but now, as I reread this post, I find that the lines do run (very annoyingly) far beyond the right margin of the screen. but they don't do so in my previous post, not on my computer anyway.

You're probably right Olivier, I just never knew about it until I started doing HTML, around 1995. You would use a non-breaking space between the "PJ" and "Harvey" so the two words would always stick together wherever in the paragraph her name appeared.
I don't have an answer for your problem P-phoniac, there are different keystrokes to create them, read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space Or you might ask someone at the library.
but a little depressed at the same time if you know what I'm saying...
