Unerring accuracy.

Never get in your teacher's bad books......

They have long memories😉

You sadly overlook that the orange one has the finest, possibly the bestest tastiest ever, morrells, chestnuts & portabellos - he is such a funghi 😏

Hope Lord Collingwood had his sunnies on this morning 😎

The Regal, Saltcoats

Loved that film!

First saw it in Saltcoats in July 1981

One wonders how this might impact on Glasshouse & the Hall 3 development? 🤔

Re matters orchestral and ambition - didn't know about this; another large auditorium that needs to be filled (better get music back on the curriculum, pronto)

"To call the BBC “100% fake news” and its journalists “corrupt” looks, on the face of it, defamatory. The reputational damage must be immense, if unchallenged"

The BBC is flawed, but fundamentally truthful | Letters Letters: Readers react to the resignation of director general Tim Davie, and Donald Trump’s threat to sue the corporation for $1bn

"I cannot be alone in thinking that the BBC has strong grounds to countersue President Trump and his press secretary.

I meant to say, it's the only action bullies understand

Be even better if the Orange Criminal were brought to task over his own unsubstantiated narrative about Biden "stealing" the Presidency

I sincerely hope that The Mayor of London issues a counter claim re Crime & Sharia Law in London.

It's the only action

Remembrance of Things Pasta She blew her fusilli, my pretty penne, when she found me watching daytime tagliatelle.   Je ne spaghetti rien, I responded in song, but she did not linguini for long,   just walked out without further retort: a hard lesson to be tortellini, orzo I thought.   And so here I am, on my macaroni, and now my days feel cannelloni. Brian Bilston

Happy World Pasta Day to all those who celebrate.

Levelling Up ??????

So why not "level things up" by the introduction of an internet sales or delivery tax, to remove the price advantage?

So why is it not written into an MPs contract, the number of hours they must work on parliamentary & constituency business in order to receive their remuneration?

Make all MPs ss accountable as all those in work who they are there to serve

Indeed.....

I hope Starmer stand up to Trumps unwarranted onslaught on Kahn.

No way is he a loser - despite the negativity he attracts - London is becoming a better place to visit (imho)

But then he does have more money per capita than anywhere else!

Keep smiling

Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Done that soooooooooo many times

Occasionally on the side of the plane that afforded the view of #Tynemouth

Would I have liked to have been there to live the experience? Undoubtedly.

I am fortunate to have had numerous such impromptu experiences - not all on music that I already knew/classic anthems & the like.

I continue to treasure those moments & the perspective on human emotion that it affords.

That government/society sees no "value" in music education and promotion & AI/music streaming/internet directly challenges a musicians ability to earn a living and allow them to continue spreading joy at a grass roots level that fundamentally keeps musics importance and relevance to
civilisation.

Cynically, this was not an impromptu event; carefully choreographed and stage managed. The people behind it and taking part are unlikely to have done so without some sort of (financial) recompense. Artistic integrity and fulfillment alone does not pay bills.

Answer 2

In short, I'm conflicted by these "made for social media" events.

To be there, in the moment, unexpectedly bearing witness to any impromptu music performance is without parallel. It underpins musics ability to spread joy, positivity & perspective.

YouTube video by Julien Cohen The most INSANE Bohemian Rhapsody Flashmob you will ever see!!

This is the flash mob video i was sent by my cousin, who asked what I thought ...

Answer 1

Strange that barely any of the performers would not have been alive when the original hit the airwaves in 1975.

How much of today's music will get flash mobbed in 2075🤔

Prior to introducing a requirement for a minimum hours contract for MPs that also limits amount of time that can be spent on other remunerated positions/undertakings.

Please not another costly inquiry where the outcome has no material impact on the the individual or benefit the public purse.

Better investigating time spent on constituency & parliamentary matters in the UK to underpin MPs salaries & allowances
