Sunday night chat

[EdgeleyRob]

A warm welcome back to the forum for Edgeley Rob. Suitably refreshed and catching up on forum posts I trust?

I've been leaving the horses alone for the past three weeks due to Prom visits and continued losses. I'm at the Proms next weekend for the VPO Bruckner 8 and will resume Pet's Picks on September 13 by which time I'm hoping my long losing run will come to an end!

Alison, the Elgar 2 is one of the very few works (DSCH 5 is another) that I can, and have, played several nights in a row so can well understand your craze for it.

Thanks Pet.
I've given up losing money on the horses too,taken up losing on football bets instead.

Elgar 2 is divine,makes me feel tearful,emotional.............have to listen with care as with so much of my favourite British music.

Logging off now to listen to some Arnold Cooke.

Night night all,sleep safe and have a good week.

I have noticed in recent years how late August is getting to be the unofficial beginning of Autumn. That has been less apparent in 2013, I'm pleased to say, and looking at the weather forecast we are due a lovely first week of September. I'd better be out and about with the camera then.

Anticipating Sunday evening a little, but to kick things off this story provided some amusement today:

I imagine that the Princely language used on the occasion turned the air in that part of SW1 a very interesting shade of blue...

I'm sure that the ironic import of this story is not lost on the family and friends of Jean Charles de Menezes and Lord Blair.

Perhaps. Does The Lord Blair 'do' irony?

I could have sworn he got an irony blue at Christ Church, Oxford

I have to say that piece about Andrew really made me laugh - I guess he'd just nipped out for a fag and landed up spreadeagled - but the on-dit is that he and Fergie are about to tie the knot again - I wonder if the Gruesome Twosome will be bridesmaids? Talking about Tony Bliar, his son Euan is getting married, reception to be held at one of the Bliar's £4m mansions ... he's done awfully well for a Socialist, I'll give him that

That set my libel lawyer's antennae twitching agreeably!!
