Babycham? Interesting thought..... Not quite the appropriate picture, try this:  Thanks again to all of you. Here in deepest Devon I have a really decadent feeling today: I want to go out and eat something in the process of whose manufacture lots of animals lived miserable lives and underwent slow, painful deaths, and drink something where I can be assured that large numbers of helpless workers in South America were needlessly exploited, almost like slaves, in order for it to be produced . . .  |

Thanks! I'm going there on Saturday - but how did you know that?   |

Never mind, Ian. Have nice cup of Columbian coffee to cheer yourself up.  |

Thanks! I'm going there on Saturday - but how did you know that? I thought it was what you described in your last post. The only two times I ever saw the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company was at the Princess Theatre, Torquay. The earth didn't move. |

Ooooh! I nearly forgot - just time to wish Frederic in the Pirates a Very Happy Leap Day Birthday!
Mabel:
All is prepared, your gallant crew await you.
My Frederic in tears? It cannot be
That lion-heart quails at the coming conflict?
Frederic:
No, Mabel, no. A terrible disclosure
Has just been made. Mabel, my dearly-loved one,
I bound myself to serve the pirate captain
Until I reached my one-and-twentieth birthday –
Mabel:
But you are twenty-one?
Frederic:
I’ve just discovered
That I was born in leap-year, and that birthday
Will not be reached by me till nineteen forty!
Mabel:
Oh, horrible! catastrophe appalling!My brain's too tired to work it out - how old is he now then? Edit: Just read birthday wishes to Frederic elsewhere on r3ok - I hadn't read the G&S or Rossini thread posts when I posted this!  |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Oh horrible, Mabel, Frederic's always going to be increasingly younger than you. There was an excruciating piece on News 24 where the newscaster was trying to get a young girl to say how amazing it was that she was only having her 3rd(?) birthday, whereas she obviously wasn't at all impressed. Plus they had a woman propose to her boyfriend "live". |
