Ah, you see you have an advantage over me - I've never watched her show!  |

Just to report yet another piano in dire need of a tuning. (Same goes for my body right now.)  |

Well, may I wish you good luck in your endeavours to be reunited with your lost goods. More years ago than I care to remember, I left the third and final movement of my first piece - a piano sonata - on the Circle Line and have never seen it since and, although it would be nice to think that it's still going around and around, rumour has it that they do clean out the trains occasionally so that's unlikely. From my present perspective, I can only be astonished at my carelessness (in not leaving the whole thing on that train...) |

Augustus John managed to leave the casket with the ashes of his son in the luggage rack of a train. I think he got them back (that's supposed to give you hope, Pim  ) but I can't find the book I was going to check that in. |

 My Holroyd, Vol II? In an old leather handbag? That's the one. It's the chapter on 'The Importance of Bringing Urn' that we're after.

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

The Brighton Line.
I've never watched Dr Who, but I did watch Catherine Tate's show once. I thought it was awful - just not funny to me,

I think she's awful as well. Did you see her on the Royal Variety Show? She was dreadful - rude to the Queen - just not funny. Perhaps it's because she plays such obnoxious characters - but then again I love Little Britain and they're all obnoxious as well. Somehow the Little Britain characters manage to be lovable as well as awful. Ms Tate hasn't got that knack. The League of Gentlemen was very strange, but who could not love "Tubs"? |

Would that be the one throwing up at the garden parties? |

There were bits I couldn't stomach, though (mostly concerning elderly ladies ) The League of Gentlemen was originally on R4 where I heard it and it was very good. I never took to the TV version though. I've never watched Little Britain either. Enjoyed the Dr. Who earlier on. |

... but who could not love "Tubs"? I wonder if she ever made it to Swansea?  |

I wondered who'd be the first to add that, Stanley . |
