And I'm the one whose ears are starting to go pointy. My mouth is preparing for the fangs to appear. The tail is out of sight. And I'm bringing the others round to my way of thinking . . .

 comments please !!!! A The one on the left is saying, 'I 'ad that Sorabji in the back of my cab once .....' The one onthe left is wondering why they haven't both converted to alcopops, like most of the throng. But that's new musos for you.  autoharp, mort is doing that 'gaze' thing she does, at you in this photo. Careful! |

Actually, at one point around the time when that photo was taken, I believe I was mentioning that I'm playing a piece next week that is a Homage to Sorabji!  |

So that's why the geezer on the right is saying "Gerraway !"

Ah, well - there's no arguing with the consequences of beer-imbibing, is there? Just thought that I'd make mention that from my utterly snobbish, upper-class, aristocratic position from on high I cannot abide even being in the same room as a glass of any kind of beer. And, that said, all the rubbish that I've just written is utter nonsense except for the bit about beer, the very thought of which I simply cannot abide (though I am actually perfectly capable of tolerating its presence, despite what that idiot suggested earlier on in this message just because he happens to be as allergic to it as the said Sorabji - who, incidentally, published an essay on Beer and British Music - once claimed to be allergic to Tagore). Just for the record, incidentally, my allergy to beer was not in any sense influenced by Sorabji's take on the stuff - it merely happened to coincide with it... Best, Alistair |

Well, here's an alternative for you, Alistair (just to demonstrate total and utter belligerence, I thought I'd give an Irish one):  |

Ah, George, now that's how I remember it. The reality was more like this, wasn't it?  I wondered if the following might also capture something of the debauched atmosphere:  |

Evening all! Sorry - been offline all day - missed out on all the fun, just catching up now ... Ok, I will own up to being the guy on the left towards the back who looks as if he'd spent about an hour too long in the Borough Tanning Lounge en route to the meet. Honest though, I was only in there for 20 minutes! And Betty's very good with the foot massage, just in case you're passing.  And there I was, wondering (quite wrongly, as it turns out) if you were a cellist. Why, are cellists professionally obliged to avoid tanning lounges? I'm the guy sitting between autoharp and martle, though that's not revealing much, since I seem to have done a brilliant job of pointing the entire back of my head at the camera  I wasn't trying to hide, honest. But I'm bad with cameras - as A will confirm, if you ask her how many goes it took before she managed a pic of me and martle in which I had anywhere near a normal expression on my face. |

`The tail is out of sight.` Autoharp, Hurrumph. Out of sight it may have been, but it was obviously in operation when it lashed out in wild abandon and hurled the contents of my bag at George`s feet, thereby inflicting huge humiliation upon myself. George is being a gentleman about the unfortunate incident. Whaddya mean, you saw me nudge it?!!! |
