Just thought I would share an 'episode ' with you.... Whilst in the car this morning we put on R3 and there was a piece of early music playing. My husband  said, 'That's a canzona by Gabrieli.. I think Giovanni'. I replied, 'You are the expert' To which he replied in all seriousness 'Oh no I am not, I have not done any research in Venetian chori spezzati' A show-off writes: If he'd said cori spezzati he'd be even more of a show-off!  (Sorry!) |

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

I love weddings. Did I miss a wedding?
Then I will have to go to the thread about difficult social situations.
Please tell me if I missed a wedding of an expert of Baroque music (Bach) to a person who plays violin?

You missed it indeed, t-p! Go and look on the happy room thread for all the gushy details of the honeymoon. |

If one can't gush about one's honeymoon, when can one? (or better still, two).

Stopped gushing now.. sorry !!  How about this for a shopping expedition.. We went to the local town today - to Clarks for some shoes for himself. We found a lovely shoe on the rack , a good reduction and a strong shoe. He asked to try the other one and after about 5 minutes the assistant came back and said without an apology or any embarrassment at all ' We only have the one shoe, there isn't another' So he hopped off down the road merrily  A  |

several-pixel-high fonts not small enough for you? How about sub-pixel fonts, for 33% smaller, squinty goodness  ? (will only display as text on LCD screens) |

I miss him too. Although I've never met him, we do have a mutual acquaintance. |

Had he left his email address at all onhere. Maybe someone could find out. His pc may have crashed, and cant afford a new one? |

Guys, we need to remember that people here come and go of their own free will, and that although this is normally a relaxed and happy place, there have been occasions (quite recently as you may recall) where a squabbling few, intent on pursuing their own agenda with no consideration for the sensibilities of board members as a whole, have soured the atmosphere for the rest of us. I am aware of at least three members who have absented themselves as a direct result of this behaviour, and indeed once almost did the same myself, many moons ago. It's totally up to them when (or whether) they return: no amount of badgering from any of us will make any difference at all.
I would like to hope that certain members will take note of this and bear it in mind before launching out on their next quixotic crusade....
