[antongould]

Celebrating New Year's Eve!

An Honourable New Year to all. Make it a big one!

..... and to you Rumpole, Beefie and our world ....

Barbara Windsor should have had a damehood years ago for services to innuendo. Great to see someone's finally given her one.

Cor blimey and stone the bleeding crows. I was once taken to task on this very same forum for using that very same double entendre. It just goes to show, it all depends who you are and whom (grammer) you know.

Just like the honours system, in fact.

Notwithstanding, a very Happy New Year to all forumites. Lang may yer lums reek.

And all the best to you too, Anton!

Not by me, surely? I missed it this time and probably would have missed it last time too

Happy New Year all - new website http://www.for3.org/index.php - it's supposed to be squashable for people who look at things with iPads and things, so if it doesn't work …

Some Puritan must have had a grumble, anton!

Happy New Year!

I honestly can't remember, and of course it doesn't matter anyway.

In the interests of Thorough Testing, I've had a look at the new website on my desktop, ipad, and phone. It looks great on all three, and squashes where appropriate.

There's an innuendo Cali! :)
Oh matron! :)

Not at all PC these days, Bbm!

You'd think one of the forum hosts would know better.

Nothing to do with PC, that particular innuendo, as well you know, PGT - just an opportunistic moment for you to point-score, or to think you do. Time for a new year resolution, if it's not too late; something like "I promise this year when discussing things not to fight dirty"?

As for innuendi, I myself would give you one, if only I could think of one...

And while being opposed to league tables and suchlike, Lupu must be among the very greatest living pianists.

Totally agree.

Having seen his wonderfully grumpy demeanour in concerts, I wonder how he will react to the Buckingham Palace ceremony.

Particularly when the Duke of Edinburgh asks him if he can play chopsticks

He might well have an interesting *slant* on it.

Ooooo ... you are awful, but I like you!

Happy New Year, S_A!

I ploughed through the complete list last night; not an easy task now that The Guardian does not print the complete list. In addition to those above, I noticed the pianist Martin Martineau and Leslie East from the Associated Board.

Reason: spelling boob

I am glad some most deserving classical artists have been rewarded. As is he case of Radu Lupu!
