Dundee, Don B.
And, on the other side of the world, Wellington.

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)

And here, to make up the quartet, is Member Dough in characteristic pose (ie camera at the ready...)

I should just say that it was a lovely day. Really good to meet all three of the other members again, and really good to drink so much good beer in good company! I think that t_i_n should shortly be finally arriving at his destination...

Member Dough, courtesy of member Macrae, is modelling for Rohans. I have the red anorak, and jolly useful it is too, although I am going over to the padded winter weight one soon. My Rohan winter bags saw me all the way to Cyprus overland via Romania last year.

Only partially true, Don B. The Jacket is indeed a Rohan garment, one of a pair (I have the heavier version, too, and both will helpfully accommodate a zipped-in liner to add insulation: a Craghoppers fleece I already possessed turned out to have conveniently identical fittings to Rohan's). The trousers are also Craggies in this case, whilst the fleece is by Weird fish, (although the bottom layer is by Rohan again).

Dundee, Don B.
Would you mind saying that again? Short vignette from happy R3ok life: Ron D - 'Dundee, Don B.' Don B - 'Dundee, Ron D?' Ron D - 'Dundee, Don B.'

One of the pleasures in watching "The Grass Is Greener" is to marvel at the sheer technique of Cary Grant saying to Robert Mitchum "Have some Dundee cake"; not particularly funny in itself but hilarious as spoken by Grant. I've tried to figure it out and think it is split second timing, undercut by a measure of send-up!

I think that t_i_n should shortly be finally arriving at his destination... It was a very lovely day indeed. I especially like Ron's first photo (of an r3ok trio outside the strangely un-parliamentary Scottish Parliament building). t_i_n did arrive at his destination yesterday evening, but has only just logged back on to the forum now: he managed to analyse a Birtwistle orchestral score during the 9½-hour coach journey back to London, but couldn't concentrate well enough to write the requisite programme note, which he finally finished an hour or so ago. And he now has 5 pages of unread threads to catch up with, but some of that will have to wait until after this evening's Benjamin/Ligeti/Messiaen/Xenakis concert ...

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
