Dom del Nevo

Unreasonable behaviour on his part, frankly.

Is that not the German translation of a Flanders and Swann classic?

Oh totally. I'm not her biggest fan, and of course she stepped up to take the job knowing the divisions she would face, I'm sure. But I do think she was dealt a bad hand.

Dumping all the crap into justice was a way to stop the home office being where political careers go to die, iirc. Don't think it worked, although May became PM from Home Sec...😬

Is that not the Ministry of Justice...?

More than that. The Dean is massively popular among Anglicans across the city and rightly so. Hearing him preach is always a blessing.
Musk and Vance, not so much. And I know from whom I'll take spiritual and moral guidance, thanks awfully.

I was in there on Friday for a special service, and saw one near where we were singing. It's eye-catching and thought-provoking, yes, but not (imv) offensive (and some churches including ours can have permanent installations which offend). It's only temporary, if you hate it,come back later.

There's Trottiscliffe further west in Kent which is pronounced Trosley, and as I understand it they changed the name of the country park to Trosley so that people would say it properly.. considering you've got Ightam and Wrotham around there too, it's a wonder anyone can say anything properly.

I'm convinced it's pronounced Gunston, but nobody I know here in Canterbury believes me!
Also I think we should pronounce Fordwich as Forditch (like Greenwich and Woolwich), but again people pronounce the W.

Yep

So cool.

For a longer hymn, maybe, but I don't think that works here cos it's only a 3 verse hymn and the last verse is key to the overall structure. Based on what I've been told of the situation, just shelving it may be easiest (and draw least attention).

I understand your perspective and concern. I suppose I would ask whether you think there is actually a risk of misinterpretation by anybody who is going to be there? Otherwise maybe you risk policing yourself - for the best of intentions - somewhat unnecessarily? You know the parish best of course!

I've just taken a fresh look at it, and I think the meaning is clear enough from the preceding text what he means. I'd be inclined to keep it, people will twist the meanings of anything they put their mind to, but we can't pander to that without making everything vapid.

I'm sure he had any number of royal physicians in attendance. Obsequious, almost certainly, though probably not nauseatingly positive.

I bet that's what Charles II of Spain thought, too.

Yes, yes you are. Stop cosplaying "legitimate concerns". When you join a far right rally, organised by well known far right leader Tommy Robinson, with a host of speakers who outright say they are far right, you are a racist. No ifs, buts or maybes. There are no excuses for being there.

Yeah, cos wetter stuff makes the bags biodegrade whilst still in the caddy...so let the teabag dry out a bit

Oh I loved that one! Gonna have another listen to it now 😊

My school report

I wonder how many times in live shows he would get he giggles. We don't have that many recordings of him.

I'm ready!

That's very kind of you! We all had a super time. The cathedral is stunning and the team there are very welcoming and friendly.

Not a regular fixture, no ... will probably be somewhere else next year. In fact not my regular choir, but I (and several of my church choir) joined our friends from Faversham to do the trip. So it may be a while until I come back, alas!

Yes thank you. 6 hours drive. It was a lovely week, I must come back!

It's beautiful. Today is our last day, and I'm directing the choir for evensong.

I hope you enjoyed it (I'm part of the visiting choir this week).

And English too...

Are you familiar with Amateur Transplants? (Adam Kay and Suman Biswas writing parody lyrics to songs)

I’m as sad as it’s possible to be about the death of a 97-year-old. Tom Lehrer was (to paraphrase the great man) my hero since childbirth, and revisiting his songbook on stage remains one of the highlights of my career. A unique polygenius. Rest In Poison.
