And all the bill boards are still screaming about Super Kev scoring for England.clapton is god wrote:^ Do you know Tango, I've got a similar day out set for Thursday. Got to drop my car off for service at 9am and then have nothing else planned until I pick it up again later in the day. I've not been in town (other than th'Octagon) since May this year so looking forward to a stroll and meeting some people and drinking some coffee and just chilling out for a while. Lets hope the sun has still got its hat on!

My dream - since we are all entitled to them - is the 'Bayern Munich' appearance... and another T shirt just in time for Christmas...TANGODANCER wrote:So would we all really. But what's life without a few dreams.Lord Kangana wrote:Its unfair to build up our hopes like that Tango. I'd settle for an appearance.

The Bridgewater is incredible for accoustics. Seen the Halle there a couple of times plus various concerts, Juan Martin, Paco Pena, Buena Vista Social Club etc. Great experience.William the White wrote:Bridgewater Hall tonight. looking forward to it very much - I don't get to see enough live music.
BBC Philharmonic. Beethoven Piano concerto no 4, Bruckner symphony no 7. Fantastico!

Cue for a little Borodin and Bolero on youtube.William the White wrote:^^ It was just great - we both loved it and are planning two more concerts in December - one Tchaikovsky the other (which we're really looking forward to) Sibelius...
I'm now puzzled why we let live classical music slip out of our lives - and feckin glad to contemplate its return...

Let us know how it goes please, William. Ghosts is one of Ibsen's isn't it? Very much bore out all that you claim regarding the modern day relevance of his work. Superb stuff.William the White wrote:To the Royal Exchange tonight for The Lady from the Sea by Henrik Ibsen. I'm a huge fan of Ibsen's work, which still speaks clearly and, often, urgently even today. I don't know this play - never seen it, never read it - so am looking forward to it even more.
May the bridges I burn light your way

I think it may be a brilliant play about marriage that turns into a prison, about passion that is hard to resist, about the choices facing women so entrapped... But it is given such a dreary production that it's hard to tell - and it should be avoided at all costs. There'd be more sparks if you rubbed two sponges together.Bruce Rioja wrote:Let us know how it goes please, William. Ghosts is one of Ibsen's isn't it?

Me? My daughter's bed. She's sleeping in mine, before I hear anything Friztl about me. She has a chest infection, she's sleeping in our bed to keep her night's sleep undisturbed, and for the second night running, I'm taking one for the team.
This after I haven't left the house all day due to tending to her. At the busiest time of the school term for my company - the holidays, which is a massive moneyspinner.
The short term welfare of my children far outweighs the potential long term risk of making them homeless. At least I can compensate the latter by working harder.

surely it's your missus who is "taking one for the team" - you get a good nights undisturbed sleep while she shares a bed with a rasping, snuffling, coughing, restless child!
anyway - hope she's better soon - then you can send her out to work and pay the mortgage...

Plus, the bed I slept in isn't any longer than a sofa - it's a child's bed, so I was scrunched up all night.
