According to this https://www.fazioli.com/en/company/profile they make 140 pa so having 5 to choose from shouldn't be that hard? Especially given the publicity that would ensue for making the effort.Comment

The 'Special Edition' grands are worth a look if only to marvel at the skill of the craftsman who made them and wonder at the taste that sought them.Originally posted by oddoneout View PostComment

It takes a lot to get through my thick exterior
, but I loved this story on the news last night about the 11 year-old who's been sleeping in a tent for the last 10 months. Balm for the soul!

I'm not sure that this is quite a good news story, but I read this review in the Guardian of a Saturday night ITV show, The Masked Singer. (Read the article to find out more.) I then watched one episode last Saturday. It is completely bonkers, but if you are not totally averse to more popular kinds of music, its off-the-wall character is quite amusing, even uplifting.Comment

Clemency Burton-Hill is speaking on Woman's Hour as I type (10:07) after her trauma/critical illness when she moved to take up a post in the US.
Telling how she could understand perfectly but was unable to talk, and is only now able to express herself, having worked hard to recover speech. (And its not yet reached the stage where she is the broadcaster we knew on R3)
(I generally turn off this programme nowadays but was concentrating on something and suddenly was aware of the discussion underway....).Last edited by Cockney Sparrow; 20-01-21, 11:10.Comment

I missed the start of Woman's Hour, but heard part of the interview before I realised the person involved was our Clemmy.
Very heart-wrenching but good to know progress is being made, albeit in small steps.

A lot of people, including a number of personal acquaintances, must by now have been questioning their wisdom in re-locating to America in "furtherance" of their careers.Comment

Sadly, this splendid idea is already encountering opposition, not least from Germany. Given the considerable cost and difficulty of being granted a patent in the first place, this reaction is perhaps not that surprising.Originally posted by Joseph K View PostComment
