Originally posted by Richard Barrett View PostOnce or twice a year I have to wear a tie to be professorial in the somewhat antiquated doctoral defence ceremonies at Leiden University (founded 1575). Luckily the dressing room not only provides ties on loan (since I don't own one) but also has a useful poster on the wall explaining how to do it up (since I have difficulty remembering this). An encouraging sign of the times I would say.
It might be considered useful to wear one when attending a production of The Knot Garden, too (although Ca-Ca-Caliban might disagree).
I'll get me tie...

It's on his birth certificate, not his driving licence!

He never had a drivers' licence, incidentally but, if he had, it would almost certainly have borne the name Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji. One might wonder, though, whether the composer would have taken the name "Shapurji" had he been aware of his father's - er - um - legally questionable behaviour in matters familial, but such discovery was not made by him until some two decades thereafter.Last edited by ahinton; 27-02-16, 19:48.
