that is what has been suggested, more than once, by different people, today

If he was a basketball player the issue would be germane.

Can't see that RVW's music would have been inferior or different if he'd been a short-arse.

Are we to have a Bolero bake-off? I was hoping it would only be mentioned once or twice

Who nose. Might of.
The lark might have had further to ascend. Perhaps he would have viewed london peering apologetically over the embankment walls?

I might start a short arse composer of the week thread. Even people with napoleon complexes welcome.

I think I'd rather be insulted by KD than be subjected to 35 CDs of Joe Green!

Oh man, me too. Much more fun - and funnier - on so many levels.

Given her predilection for saying things in 'foreign', you'd have thought some cunning linguist could have been found at the BBC to teach her to pronounce even the majority of the vowel sounds in 'Ernest Ansermet' correctly...

Not sure what your angle is in all this. You've already told us that you're a whopping one & 3/4 inch taller than Morris.

As one who is an inch and a quarter shorter than Maurice I'd be most interested to see who makes the list.
