Ollie, you know what this means, don't you. You not only agree with something in the Telegraph, you took three months to realise it. For 3 months you have been an unwitting fellow traveller of the Torygraph. Next you'll be discovering a suppressed desire to move to the Bakewell area.

It's even worse for me though, I have just found myself agreeing with Norman Lebrecht! http://www.scena.org/columns/lebrecht/070124-NL-tchaikovsky.html . What is the world coming to?

Ho Bryn.  I did notice the "creation" date was November.  I didn't see it in November and don't know if it actually appeared then or not.   So far as I am certain it was in yesterday's paper.  If somebody posted it on the boards  :Din November I certainly didn't see it then.
Cheers

Good Herrings! Having never seen the Lebrecht bird before, I had no idea - he looks younger and more hirsute than my imaginings. The great advantage of radio - a better picture (and no better example IMO than the television version of the Hitchiker's Guide)

OK. Back to bed now. Smiley zzzzzzzzzzz

             The men were sitting sulkily,
                There listening was done,
            "It's very rude," they said, "to keep
               Us here, and spoil our fun."

They play Tchaikovsky here all day,
But we want something else.
O please send us some help
and bring this spell away.

Yes, but not with too much of it surely? The usual provocative phrasing, for example. (Not enough to refer to Soviet tyranny, he has to call it appalling as well.) The it's for its. And the review underneath where he mistakes a cellist and a pianist photographed with their reflections for 'some social gathering'...

Oh come now, Ollie, surely the "appalling years of Soviet tyranny" is to differentiate those years from the glorious years of Soviet tyranny he remembers so fondly.

Yes, the comment on the album cover does reflect rather badly on his powers of observation. Wink

I still don't know who sent me the other card, but nice to have it anyway.  It's a joke one.  There's a picture of an awful ugly old caveman holding a club on the front with huge artificial feet and it says "After starting a Valentine's Day rumour about men with big feet, he had to beat the women off with a stick."

Grin    Grin     Grin      Grin      Grin     Grin     Grin     Grin     Grin

I am unsure if janine sent this card but it has a pic of a strad on the front and a big kiss from lips in it.

Have been doing work related research into the frequency of use of search terms and related sub categories on the internet. On looking up "opera", it was slightly depressing to find the runaway leader was "soap opera" followed by "phantom of the opera". There were even searches in the multiple thousands for "Opera Winfrey". After which, I wasn't too surprised to see the top ten searches under "ballet" included Spandau of that ilk.

This world is full of ijits.
It surprising that many people like opera and not Ophra.
