Prom 75: 10.09.16 - Last Night of the Proms

[ARBurton]

Er no I don`t think so, the UK and Liechtenstein share the same tune (i think) but Germany`s is different.

No, I`m wrong, you are quite right. Apo-logies.
This round the country bit is sooo tedious..

[EnemyoftheStoat]

The Proms website says that the author of the National Anthem is unknown - I thought it was Haydn?

Wasn't Henry VIII thought to be the culprit at one point?

[ahinton]

There are almost never any fights in the pubs I go in, because the customers know better than to piss other people off.

OK. Good to hear it. I merely responded to what you wrote.

If I were you, I’d stick to the off licence.

Pardonnez-moi; je ne comprends pas. It's nothing to do with me!

Looks more like an audience for 'the Good Old days' than a supposedly cutting edge music festival.

And what was KD or her wardrobe people thinking of ?


( just caught the end waiting for more of the BBCs wall to wall football coverage.)

There certainly seemed to be a few 'badger baiters' amongst the prommers tonight. However, that is just my jealousy seeping through that I have never yet managed to acquire tickets for the Last Night.

Thought she was looking a bit older herself appropriately enough.

At the end of the day, it was a great concert - made me proud to be British!

[Bert Coules]

But this time, chiefly... yourselves!

And why not, for one night out of many?

Was Juan Diego La Rue any good?



La fille du Régiment presumably, or some such....

I thought you already were?

Good thing that I neither watched nor listened, then, apparently; I'm a composer first and foremost (for what that may or may not be worth), an European next, a Scot next and a Brit last (or "at the end of the queue", as soon-to-be ex-President Obama might put it), but I'm not especially "proud" to be any of those things - I just do the best that I can. I wouldn't wave a flag if you paid me (unless the amount concerned was really substantial and, even then, I'd do in in private)...

[ahinton]

Indeed, but maybe it just helped to endorse that feeling.
