Mort. I have donned me Davey Crockett head dress. Gawd. is we sexy or not? Many layered and socks? Following that - A Beaver came up to me and whispered in my ear. I dare not tell you what he said. I riposted to him, "Prove It"

Ron,
Re. the shed fiasco - that is disgraceful. I`m surprised that The Dode hasn`t yet picked up the shed in his bare hands and thumped it firmly on on the heads of the couldn`t-care-less-incompetent-nirggling-prazzocks-without-hope. Still, there`s always time .....<evil smiley emoticon>

You lot are making me feel SOOOOOO guilty, sitting here with my central heating on constant 24/7.  Thing is though, see, if I had to choose, I'd rather be hungry than cold, so heating is my main priority in the winter. |

Grumpy rant about concert audiences. I went last week to a packed out Liverpool Phil concert (Tchaik PC1 and Symphony 6, conducted by Petrenko. Tonight, Mozart Serenade for wind instruments, Hugh Wood Serenade and Elegy, Petrushka, cond. David Atherton - not full at all, and a lot of the people in the expensive seats looked like students who I suspect had freebies, or at least cheapies. Very appreciative though, but it is so depressing that when anything vaguely Modern or unfamiliar is on the programme, audiences drop so much.
Petrushka was a riot. I wish I'd been at the premiere.

I am now patiently Waiting for Virgin. In the meantime I have apparently received 4 e mails this morning. Except I haven`t. Just 4 e mail alerts. Whether this is down to my soon to be sacked provider or the omen of a God almighty muck up due to me switching over, I have yet to find out. Mutter, mutter, cuss.

I do agree that it can be very depressing, but I'd much rather have a small but appreciative audience for one of my pieces than a large disaffected audience who were expecting Rachmaninov. I've been to enough concerts which were marred by giggling, harumphing and walk-outs simply because audience members were too rude to give unfamiliar works the benefit of the doubt. |

I've been to enough concerts which were marred by giggling, harumphing and walk-outs simply because audience members were too rude to give unfamiliar works the benefit of the doubt. I have to say that the audience behaved impeccably, apart from rather too much coughing. The Hugh Wood piece was in memory of his daughter, and at the end the audience was absolutely silent for what seemed a very long time, until Atherton and the leader (James Clark, very good) made it clear that applause was now allowed. This is more than can be said for some of the audience for Tchaik 6 last week, who although they waited a reasonable time, then obviously feared that no-one was going to applaud, so they started. Petrenko was obviously offended, and managed to silence them again. |

I know that's meant to be grumpy, Mary, but it actually made me very happy that you're unhappy enough about it to say something, if you see what I mean! |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Why did I think it was a good idea to go with Virgin Broadband? What a mess. I have now `lost` my landline number because, apparently, BT told Virgin that I had cancelled the arrangement to port the number. I bluddy well did not!! It can be retrieved but it will take eleven days to do so. Not ten, not twelve, but eleven. Huh? I have now been issued with a temporary `phone number. This will only work if it`s plugged into the Virgin socket, so anyone `phoning my `real` number won`t get through. And I can`t e mail everyone to let them know this because .... my username and password are not recognised. When I `phoned Virgin (at 25 pence a damn minute) they had something totally different, so I was passed onto another department, then another until I finally ended up in .... Bombay. It took an age to sort out but we finally got there. I thought. When I tried to access my e mails my name and password were rejected. And rejected and rejected and ... you get the picture. I don`t even want to think about how much the calls I have had to make to Virgin Help (not) line have cost  Plus I`m not convinced that I am entirely with Virgin. I could well be paying a BT tariff for internet use now, but no one seems to have an answer for this. Bugler bugler bugler!! Still, at least I can access here  A pox on Branson and his stupid sweaters!! |
