Foot in mouth...

[Mr Pee]

I hope Mr Pee isn't listening to the News Quiz at the moment.

Nope. Just finished watching Nikolaus Lehnhoff's production of "Parsifal", courtesy of Sky Arts 2.

how my heart leaps when i'm looking at this forum on my phone and I see that the latest contribution is by the fantom sky cyclist
I'm sure the feeling isn't mutual but it's good to have little moments of mirth while waiting for the train

Damn it. I missed it. WIll have to catch it on the iPlayer.

When I looked at about 8.00 it said that the programme wasn't available to Listen Again. Whether that's because it's repeated on Saturday, or because of copyright reasons, I don't know.

That's clever - it isn't listed for this evening.

Strange. I got it from the iPlayer one minute before 8.00pm. Mind you, it had only just been made available at that time. It was grabbed, topped and tailed, the aac extracted and converted to mp3 for ease of playback, copied to a USB stick, and playing back via my Philips Blu-ray deck by 8:20pm.

That is because you will see that it was listed for 8.00 this morning.

I therefore recorded it at that time and watched this afternoon instead, act by act. That is

clever

isn't it?

Wonderful thing, technology.

Happy now?

(Talk about "foot in mouth"......)

Now, that is clever

Thinking about it was more like 7.30 when I looked - the evening's concert was just about to begin.

Rather than The News Quiz?!?

Was this a condition of your probation, Mr Pee?

[Ariosto]

Mr Peeeeeee must work for the SKy channel - or so it would appear. Having said that there is occasionally some good stuff, like the Takacs playing whatever.

I hope he hasn't put his foot in his mouth otherwise he might catch something pretty horrible, such as a ... oh well, I suppose one good pee deserves another ...

P.S. That's a really good photo of you Mr Peeeeee

But do you not find it frightens the children???

P.P.P.S (PEE S) I hope you don't (accidently of course) pee on your foot before inserting it in you mouth. Most unhygienic!

I'd no idea until recently that Mr Pee's true identity is Oliver Knussen - and the disguise is pretty thin, wouldn't you say? No bicycle of my acquinatance would last too long, methinks...

What children might these be? The ones for whom Where the Wild Things Are were written?...

I was being facetious, as you surely recognised, but you must admit that the likeness is hardly absent...

Says a lot about Mr Pee that he uses a character from a cod medieval fantasy that would seem to be based on a computer game.

(at least my board identity has a lengthy literary & mythological history & a decent musical heritage )

Flossie, you're getting your facts wrong again. <D'Oh>

It is not based on a computer game. It is actually based on George RR Martin's series of novels, "A Song of Ice and Fire":-

The novels are absorbing and the TV adaptation is superb, having won numerous awards. Series 2 is currently showing on Sky Atlantic.
