Hello, Merce. It's been a long time. Don't you want the explanation, or have the rules changed in my absence?Originally posted by mercia View Post
Pascoe the preacher appears in her opera The Wreckers;
She conducted a ‘performance’ of her March of the Women in Holloway jail with a toothbrush;
She was the inspiration (along with Liz Lutyens) for the eponymous female composer (played by Mary O'Farrell) in the BBC’s Hilda Tablet comic radio plays.Comment

He knows my mind too well. Actually, I posted on the Violin Concertos thread before this one.Originally posted by Caliban View PostNo idea but it's nice you've... bounced back, rubbers

Thank you for your warm welcome, Caliban. I feel I owe everyone an explanation:
My severance arrangements with my erstwhile employer, various appearances before Parliamentary Select Committees, not to mention a spell of forced detention at Her Majesty’s pleasure have all conspired to hinder my participation on the boards of late. However I am exceedingly glad to see the AA thread has survived, although not thrived, in my absence. Such of my energies as are not immediately harnessed to the writing and publication of my memoirs, I shall endeavour to direct towards maintaining the traditions of this great institution. I thank you. (The Lord Rubbers)Comment

Should the above be correct, please possess yourselves of patience as far as 'U' is concerned, as I have to work my way through emails etc. that have accumulated while we were away in the far-from-frozen North. If I O U A 'U', I'll think of one tomorrow morning.Comment
