    A crap Thursday at work today.
    So I gets in me car to drive home,switch on the radio and there's my good friend Malcolm Arnold with his 2nd symphony.
    First two movements genial and a bit carefree,suddenly the Manchester traffic doesn't seem so bad.
    Third movement,depression,when the drums come in and the funeral march bit starts,rat ta ta tarrrrrr,so you were having a shit day too Malc.
    And don't think for a minute you fool us with that attempt at a snap out of it,optimistic finale,we now know the traumas that are to come later in the cycle,and on radio 3,SODDING RODEO ON IN SODDING TUNE !!!!!

      Christ, I feel your pain

      About to cycle home with COTW - RVW in the lugholes

      Hoping for a Rodeo-free zone

      Extracts from 'Antartica' should keep me cool
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        It doesn't get much better than that,I'm listening now.

        That harmonica piece is not for me though I'm afraid.

          Quality post ER.
          Hope your day improves.

          I am considering becoming a Malcolm Arnold obsessive.
          I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

          I am not a number, I am a free man.

              Birthday yesterday so sat down this evening to redeem my Amazon Gift Vouchers......to find that nearly everything on the Wish List has shot up in price.

              It's been that kind of day.

                    nearly come around again.
                    Any Ascot tips, anybody?

                    Payday on the horizon.

                    Weather perking up.

                    No sales meeting. Lots of new CDs to listen to. Could be worse.
