Many years ago I was strolling up to a major crossroads in North London. There was a car at the traffic lights and as the lights changed to green, the driver got out, collected her handbag, tossed a final unheard remark at her passenger and stalked up up the road to her right. Several moments later, the passenger door opened and a flustered man got out, looked back at the stationary and expectant queue of traffic behind him and called out plaintively at her receding form "Oh come on Angela, you know I can't drive!"

Just after I maligned Chippenham, I received an email from the Bournemouth SO informing me that they doing a concert there. A new venue on me, and indeed a new member of the Tortelier family conducting. Quite a pleasant looking concert which we might even go to.Originally posted by Caliban View Post

Wow,how time passes. Could that be Paul's grandson ? The first time I saw Paul Tortelier was in 1947/8 when he played the Tchaik Rococo variations at the RAH. He was in his thirties I believe.Originally posted by gurnemanz View PostComment

indeed, I was hoping that people would read deep significance and meaning where there is none...a trick I learned while studying structuralism...whereas I really was describing the actuality of the north wilts roads system, a dumping ground for the EU mini roundabout mountain.Originally posted by Caliban View Post

There was one girl who came from Chippenham, who worked in the hotel kitchen where I was working for a time; she was had by every male who worked in that kitchen, with the exception of myself, and the head chef. And I don't mean had in the deceived sense. I only found out about it the following morning, when everyone laughed when I asked why no one except me was having breakfast at the usual table.Originally posted by eighthobstruction View Post

Do others here look at the weather forecasts on the net?
I find I now look most days, having entered my location, as I can now play a sequence of up to five day's forecast. There are various options but the map has little clouds and child's suns (as appropriate) drifting over southern England. And lots of varied information, recent and forecast to explore. I did a little meteorology at school in A-level Geography, and am able to make some sense of a pressure chart. I need to get more skilled with this as I've recently taken up an interest in sailing.Comment
