Oh ok then, Elisabeth Fraser always blew me away. Y

Dean Martin, Frankie et al knew how to sing a song.

For me though i don't think watching a bunch of monks sing vespers in a tiny monastery in the middle of the desert near Zaragoza will ever be topped as a vocal musical experience. Extraordinarily beautiful!!

That's made my day that HonaloochieB likes me lots! :D And you bought me champagne.


Cousin is not one for fibbing. I can only imagine that Mr Stewart had maybe had some bad/sad news, or had just become (or already is) very deaf, or had just seen his credit card bill from his daughter's latest shopping spree on Rodeo Drive, or something, to make him ignore the advances of my cousin.

PR - I think Sir Roderick of Stewart could have been in the hospital for cancer. He had some cancerous cells removed from his throat a few years back. Normally he is charm personified and man who enjoys a sense of humour and little drinkypoo but don't expect him to get 'em in as he is tight as two coats of paint - so I'm told.


Anyways - Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul has a throat and a half. If you're not moved when this lady sings you're clinically dead.

That may well be the reason PR, but I suggest next time you meet up with your cousin, you relate the story back to him and give him a Larry David close-eyeball scrutinisation. One flinch and and wave the printed copy of this correspondece in his face.

If you're feeling so inclined, throw in a 'J'Accuse' and spit at his feet.

The Christmas gathering might be awkward, but what the hey.


And of course PR, to like? What's not to?


Geddoutahere!

I hadn't! Thank you so much for citing it - I could only find a crappy recording on YouTube, but brought tears to my eyes. The song is more of a showcase for Jessye Norman's wonderful richness (love her too) but they both shine.

    • I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home. 
    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.
