Fortunately, I didn't rush to re-tune it which was just as well because a few minutes later I realised that it was RC playing one of his puerile little games. And this is what R3 has come to, and it is tragic.
And who are all these morons who tweet, phone, and e-mail? They just encourage this rubbish.

Originally posted by worlingworth1 View PostJust love this thread its a perfect mix of pedantry corner meets Ed Reardon with a side serving of Victor Meldrew and a garnish of grumpy old men/women please keep going. It reminds me of a lunch once, sitting next to a group old colonial types bemoaning the fact that Nyasaland isn't what it use to be.
cheers me up most weeks !!!!!

He was inquiring of members of the forum whether they knew the identity of those (perhaps only three) who could be thus described. Of course, one might take him up on his reasons for wishing to know the identities of all, say, three (or more): if he intended to go round to their houses and let their car tyres down, that couldn't be condoned.

Be all that as it may, we were given the prettified clarinetted "Scaramouche" in today's love-in with Clemmy and not for the first time. You can hear, see, the real thing, all of it, with Martha and Ebi here

and what a rollicking joyous experience it is.

IOW 'all these morons' means all these who are morons, doesn't it? :-). I reckoned 'all' could not mean less than 3, otherwise it would have been 'both', or be singular. Well, we had been just accused of pedantry…)It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.
