I wanted to talk Zemlinsky Q's too, but Caliban has said not to do it here

Then with all due respect to Caliban he has no business to do any such thing, especially as all ultimate decisions here are yours (and perhaps even more especially as Zemlinsky's quartet writing is the wonderful treasure-trove that it is!)...

We were both joking light-heartedly, ahinton

Oh, what a relief!

JS, I don't know what a Home Counties golf-club is like, but I can guess that it could have something to do with 'toffs-in-tweeds', or similar stereotype. Let me invite you to a round in my golf-club - not a tweed in sight, nor a toff, as far as I know, but a darned tricky little course with views of the Hills of Donegal, Inch Island (an Irish tautology!) and the Lough known as the Lake of Shadows.
Let me add that I remember you quite well from a previous existence on the old message boards. You were always Julien Sorel, but I was PatrickOD - I changed my name to Padraig because I've taken up Irish for my sins and I'm trying to impress people. Yes, I particularly remember being mightily influenced by your musical choices and your recommendations. I can't recall them all now, but never far from my hand are two favourite discs that you suggested and which I value highly - Pavel Haas Quartet, Janacek String Quartet No 2, Intimate Letters; and Leipziger Streichquartett, Christiane Oelze, Schoenberg String Quartet No 2. I was hoping that you might get round to joining in some music discussions, and a few more pearls might come my way.

Top post, Padraig

Laughs demonically: we'll see about the glad bit!

Thanks .

Very good news, I agree

I've already got my coat
and as soon as I can squeeze past these dogs i'm out of here

Very good news, I agree

And who cares about golf, especially in so exalted a context as this?...

[scottycelt]

No, Alloa.

Thought so ...

I'm sorry, and believe me, I have no wish to rush to the defence of Mr. Sorel, but he (Mr. Sorel) has always stuck to his principles and nothing will sway him from those and nothing which had gone before coloured his view. As to remembering him posting before, well I certainly do.
Oh Pish, and Tush! Why do people keep on trying to resurrect quarrels?

I think you misunderstand what I meant by 'didn't post much before then'. I was referring only to the deleted thread, not his previous posting history elsewhere. I can't see what your point about his principles is leading to, but hey ho.

You'd have felt happier if you'd contrasted your new thread with the other thread though, wouldn't you?

You certainly know how to cheer someone up.

There was a series of cartoons (?) years ago, all along the lines of "The man who ...". There should be one for "The man who wrote 'post' instead of 'thread'". I'll get out the sackcloth & ashes.

...How many R3 Message Board members does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: 71: (etc) ...

Quite brilliant! Just what I needed.

I would leave the sackcloth and ashes right where they are pabs! Most of us knew exactly what you meant

Your thread has been quite the success, hasn't it?! It's become a sort of life-raft on choppy seas...

And I'm still chuckling about shb's light(-)bulb post

[BBMmk2]

I am rather confused here!
