I must have missed your use of it..... What a dummy I am.
A V at your convenience, sVp"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

Originally posted by Flay View PostSorry I've not been playing today. I've just finished masticating in the shower. I had the day off but Mrs F had me Under orders - a long list of jobs, only just completed!
Last night the neighbours were listening (at full volume and with the windows open) to the Lloyd Webber thingy about choosing a Jesus. I commented how awful it was. She announced that JC Superstar would be on during her birthday weekend in October and she wanted to go because Chris Moyles would be in it ("he's nice to his mum"), so I was charged with getting seats for us, even though I had warned her that they would be expensive and probably sold out. But she insisted.
So I booked a couple of the few last available tickets for the Sunday night at the Sheffield Arena at incredible cost (last row top tier three quarters of the way back so she will complain
that it is too hot, too far back, everyone in the way etc.)
Job well done, I thought. When I proudly told her of my achievement she told me that she had said to book the Nottingham Arena on the Saturday night - it is an extra performance so there would have been much better seats, a better night to be going out, we could have had the day in Nottingham, etc etc.
Doghouse again!
Still: bright side - back to work tomorrow for a bit of a break
Had she said book for Nottingham? Because if she had, you are (if I may say so) your own worst enemy. If not:
As to your in-shower activites - well I hope it's all dried by morning
Another day tomorrow. Sorry, a couple of minutes ago."...the isle is full of noises,

She says so. I don't remember. We would usually do Sheffield. She says I never hear what she saysOriginally posted by Caliban View PostHad she said book for Nottingham? Because if she had, you are (if I may say so) your own worst enemy. If not:
She doesn't understand that I have more important things to be thinking about and doing. Like AA.

Forgive my idle chatter filling the Vacuum
p.s. the recent answer wasn't Ulster, but was to do with their newest conductor. So all's well!Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

He's right, you know! The question which I set that featured the Ulster Orchestra was actually all about Joann F...
Any road up, here's a question to help fill the yawning gap between now and the start of the *lymp*c *p*n*ng C*r*m*ny.
One composer featured one example each in two poems, while a second composer featured a single example three times in a year. The three 'V's are not that far apart from one another.Comment

I've just checked. The third 'V' is some 36 miles (57 kilometres) from the first and second, which are just over a mile (ca. 1.7 km) apart.Originally posted by Northender View PostComment

Remarkable stuff scb and a most elegant question, of which I wish I'd thought when I get V (which seems to have happened a lot)
