Radetzky's March has (inevitably) just began at the Vienna New Year's
Concert on TV and reminded me of a very amusing performance at a Kenwood
Concert many years ago - before they were too dumbed-down by having the crap
amplified out of them and all sorts of amuse the plebs -type programmes.

The march began so quietly that we started clapping in time with the
conductor - but as the volume came up, the orchestra was playing to a
different rhythm.

That caused a bit of a laugh but the really funny thing was that only about
half the audience knew about the tradition of clapping and the rest didn't -
leading to a lovely mixture of clapping, shushing and laughing!

And BTW, if classical music is such crap, how come Vienna New Year's Concert
had a TV audience of around a billion?!!

And now we've got an extremely long film about lower abdominal pain - Gone
With The Wind!

While Radetzky's March is very nice I doubt if a billion folks tuned in
just for that and many of them would have been just as happy with more
Beach Boys.

Think about it tomorrow. You'll go crazy if you think about it today.

What amuses me most, is when some people arrive at a concert in posh
frocks and bow ties (we don't dress up at the Royal Concert Hall
usually) and then applaud between movements *snigger*

Yup. I've seen that sort of thing too, many times. And they're the ones that
sneer at my old tweed jacket and M&S shirt, tie (sometimes) and trousers.

I've got a suit now from a Government grant so as you'll look good at job
interviews, but it's the first one I've owned in about 35 years!

I was at a very good wind quintet concert in the Orangery at Kenwood House
once when a condescending little old lady asked me, "Do you know the names
of all the instruments, young man?"

I replied in the coarsest Cockney I could manage, and quite truthfully,
"Yes - and I can get a bloody good tune out of all of them as well misses! -
although I'd need a bit of lung exercise to manage the bassoon!"

She shut up after that!

There also once arrived a new packer at CNS Electronics called Barry. Not
only did he turn up each morning reeking of alcohol but he also kept going
very on inaccurately about classical music.

The trouble was, I don't think he'd never encountered anyone who actually
listened to it as a matter of course without the need to go on about it and
when he found that I listened to it (quietly) while doing my work he
complained bitterly, and when that didn't work, took the piss! - showing
himself up far more than me!

Equally as daft is the oft-used remark: "Neurrrr! You only go to the ballet
to look at the girls' legs!"

There's nowt as queer as folks!

once when a condescending little old lady asked me, "Do you know the names
of all the instruments, young man?"
I replied in the coarsest Cockney I could manage, and quite truthfully,
"Yes - and I can get a bloody good tune out of all of them as well misses! -
although I'd need a bit of lung exercise to manage the bassoon!"
She shut up after that!
There also once arrived a new packer at CNS Electronics called Barry. Not
only did he turn up each morning reeking of alcohol but he also kept going
very on inaccurately about classical music.
The trouble was, I don't think he'd never encountered anyone who actually
listened to it as a matter of course without the need to go on about it and
when he found that I listened to it (quietly) while doing my work he
complained bitterly, and when that didn't work, took the piss! - showing
himself up far more than me!
Equally as daft is the oft-used remark: "Neurrrr! You only go to the ballet
to look at the girls' legs!"
Are you implying that there's another reason for going there?
there's better places than the ballet to go looking for girl's legs.
I agree, which is why I rarely go to the ballet.
--
Phyllis Stein!

Very expensive though. I only used to go a major Covent Garden one like
Swine Lake or the Crut Nacker at Christmas and a very few odd ones during
the year.

If I won the Lottery I'd be going every week - and at the present time I'd
be trying for tickets to next years Vienna New Year's Concert! I suppose I'd
have to buy a posh suit for that.

Elite Syncopations at Sadler's Wells was damned good. Very humorous
principal ballerina too. Australian girl called Louis Strike. Excellent. Got
the album. Very good orchestral versions of Scott Joplin's rags.

The Playground was on in the same programme. Very sad. A bunch of patients
at a mental institution let out in a fenced-off yard for exercise. One of
them finds a handbag and after a number of unfortunate events, she's
heartbroken when it's cruelly taken off her. So it's not all tutus, legs and
padded gonads bouncing around. There's pathos and drama too.

They had odd foreign folkdance troupes over as well from time to time. I
remember an Egyptian company called something like Carracalla Dance. How
those dancers manage to glide smoothly along as if they're on bicycles with
their pelvises (pelves?) shlapping around in all directions I'll never know.

This was before the peace treaty brokered by Jimmy Carter between Israel and
Egypt and there'd been pro-Israeli demos outside, so the auditorium was full
of very uncomfortable-looking constabules, all grinding their teeth at the
Pythagorean tuning and hating the show because of their own racism!

It didn't help when a row of guys came on with all different kinds of drum
and sat in a row doing rather humorous, highly syncopated drumming and the
one in the middle was the spitting image of Yasser Arrafat!

It'll never happen to me. I don't buy lottery tickets. I went to the
cinema last week with my daughters and grandchildren. That's the first
time I've been to the cinema in eighteen months and that last time I
was a freeloader on my ex-wife (he, he). This time I could actually
afford to pay most of the entry cost.

Next question! They wouldn't let me hold the torch so I didn't bother.

It just turns out I always seem to go when SWMBO is here in Hull. Mind you,
there's not much worth seeing at the moment IMO so i don't expect I'll be
going at the end of January.

And after a few extra little luxuries for Christmas - some of which were
alcoholic - from that three weeks' work I done, I've just renewed my Job
Squeakers' Allowance etc. claim so it's back to frugal again from now on.
(sob, sob . . )

The increased bank balance will mainly be kept for emergencies.

I don't go mad on the Lottery like some people. I only do one line of
numbers per draw, costing £2 per week, so each week at least I've got a
7,000,000 : 1 chance of winning the jackpot. I've won quite a few £10s, a
£70 and a £88 since the Lottery began. That's all though. :o(

At £104 per year it sounds as if you're way behind.

My Father-in-law, in all the years I had contact with him, used to
spend $10 per week on lotteries. I never heard of him winning anything
larger than the $10.00 lowest prize amount. He used to get the results
sheet, look through it for any batch of at least a thousand numbers
missing from the sequence and proclaim that his tickets would be in
that section. He was rarely wrong.

I can afford £2 a week even on the Dole so it's no hardship. It's just a bit
of fun with a little bit of hope attached, and being a game of chance, the
huge odds mean nothing. I might never win the jackpot or I might win it
today and that goes for the other larger prizes as well. There's one certain
way to make sure I never win it however - and that's not to play it.

There are quite a few people about who don't understand chance. I had a
lovely argument once with a colleague who thought 1 2 3 4 5 6 had less
chance of winning than six numbers spread at random over the 48.

There was a documentary on how the Lottery was affecting people's lives
where they showed a particular family who all bought tickets by the yard,
sat huddled round the telly checking them all, won very little or nothing,
and then blamed Camelot for ruining their weekends!!! (That was when there
was just one draw on a Saturday.)

£2 a week ain't daft, but that is!!!

There was another documentary more recently about jackpot winners and there
was one silly old sod who won a few million who went to a local hotel every
day and sat there drinking Champagne because he thought he thought being
rich, that was what he was supposed to do - and he was complaining bitterly
because he didn't even like the stuff!

Eccles' old dad??

Alright. Targets for professional shnorrers then!

Yiddish shnorer, beggar, sponger, from shnorn, to beg, from Middle High
German snurren, to hum, whir (from the sound of the musical instrument

Round here, we call the lottery the Idiot Tax. And I wonder at the wisdom
of some of the "Good Causes" the money is given to. At least the Masons
don't get any.

But there are some really dodgy groups that do and didn't Fatty Churchill
get a huge wad for Winston's papers that should have been preserved for the
nation as a matter of course? Spine Milligna shoulda writted a script about
dat!

A lottery is a tax on fools
That may well be and I, personally have won nothing. On the other hand,
David, who belongs to his syndicate at work, had a share in a big win!
They were not his numbers that won and the amount of people to share it
was a lot, but we paid off our mortgage, had a nice holiday and that was
the end of that:))

Well done, Ophelia, I'm pleased for you. it doesn't alter my opinion though.
These people who spend £10 a week on the lottery would soon complain if the
government slapped that much on the National Insurance to improve health
care yet they're happy to pay that every week so they could build the
Millennium Dome. I think the lottery was invented by Gritpipe Thinne. you'll
notice who the shareholders of Camelot are - politicians and big businessmen

I think I've only played it about 5 or 6 times in the whole life of the
lottery. It doesn't interest me at all. I must be ill...

The Masons don't get money they give it. In the USA Masons give around
$2 million dollars per day to various charities. In the UK the amount
is several hundred thousand per day I believe. You can probably find
out how much from their web site.

I don't wish to re-ignite the "Masons - Good or Bad" debate, nor the
"Masons - Bad or Execrable?" debate, but if Masons don't 'get' money, where
do the charitable donations come from? Have they a printing press for the
purpose? Or do they go around to Harry Potter's place and magic it up?


Expiring minds need to know.

From the members at their private meetings. I have never known the
Freemasons to conduct a public money raising venture although if such
were conducted it would be only under legal and audited conditions.

I had a machine for printing money but the police came and took it away.

The Masons don't get money they give it. In the USA Masons give around
$2 million dollars per day to various charities. In the UK the amount
is several hundred thousand per day I believe. You can probably find
out how much from their web site.

Well it's documented that there was a Magistrate who threatened to do a
defence counsel for contempt for "continually doing Masonic semaphore
signals at the Bench"!!

There was also a documentary on TV years ago that was full of 'em from start
to finish - with evidence - and that was in just one small town.

It's never been repeated and there's never been another such documentary of
course. Surprise, surprise!

No, Mr. Lad. If I pay the income tax I get nothing back, period. OK,
except for an uncontrolled mitaristic expansionist neocolnialst policy run
by a Hamlet-like son of a failed leader. The point is that I get nothing
back in cash. On the other hand, if I buy some lottery tickets the money
still goes to the government to give no bid contracts to the VP's mates,
but there is at least a small chance that I will get it all back. While
the chance is very small the potential reward is very large and that can
be a perfecdtly rational thing to do. It is certainly better than the
guarenteed no return system with the income tax.

The increased bank balance will mainly be kept for emergencies.
I don't go mad on the Lottery like some people. I only do one line of
numbers per draw, costing £2 per week, so each week at least I've got a
7,000,000 : 1 chance of winning the jackpot. I've won quite a few £10s, a
£70 and a £88 since the Lottery began. That's all though. :o(
At £104 per year it sounds as if you're way behind.
My Father-in-law, in all the years I had contact with him, used to
spend $10 per week on lotteries. I never heard of him winning anything
larger than the $10.00 lowest prize amount. He used to get the results
sheet, look through it for any batch of at least a thousand numbers
missing from the sequence and proclaim that his tickets would be in
that section. He was rarely wrong.
--
I can afford £2 a week even on the Dole so it's no hardship. It's just a bit
of fun with a little bit of hope attached, and being a game of chance, the
huge odds mean nothing. I might never win the jackpot or I might win it
today and that goes for the other larger prizes as well. There's one certain
way to make sure I never win it however - and that's not to play it.
There are quite a few people about who don't understand chance. I had a
lovely argument once with a colleague who thought 1 2 3 4 5 6 had less
chance of winning than six numbers spread at random over the 48.
They are the sort of people who get sucked in.

There was a documentary on how the Lottery was affecting people's lives
where they showed a particular family who all bought tickets by the yard,
sat huddled round the telly checking them all, won very little or nothing,
and then blamed Camelot for ruining their weekends!!! (That was when there
was just one draw on a Saturday.)
£2 a week ain't daft, but that is!!!
Very true.

There was another documentary more recently about jackpot winners and there
was one silly old sod who won a few million who went to a local hotel every
day and sat there drinking Champagne because he thought he thought being
rich, that was what he was supposed to do - and he was complaining bitterly
because he didn't even like the stuff!
I hope he hasn't bred!

Radetzky's March has (inevitably) just began at the Vienna New Year's
Concert on TV and reminded me of a very amusing performance at a Kenwood
Concert many years ago - before they were too dumbed-down by having the crap
amplified out of them and all sorts of amuse the plebs -type
programmes.
The march began so quietly that we started clapping in time with the
conductor - but as the volume came up, the orchestra was playing to a
different rhythm.
That caused a bit of a laugh but the really funny thing was that only about
half the audience knew about the tradition of clapping and the rest didn't -
leading to a lovely mixture of clapping, shushing and laughing!
And BTW, if classical music is such crap, how come Vienna New Year's Concert
had a TV audience of around a billion?!!
And now we've got an extremely long film about lower abdominal pain - Gone
With The Wind!
What amuses me most, is when some people arrive at a concert in posh
frocks and bow ties (we don't dress up at the Royal Concert Hall
usually) and then applaud between movements *snigger*
Peasants!

ta but yer can't wear ya corset to da concert hall
Might one inquire why not? Mind you, I'm only an EWM (Evil White Male)
and therefore not vouchsafed with such wisdom, but, well, you know, wyzat?
Huh? You got inspecters there or something?
You're bleedin mad, Oph, I \ALWAYS/ wear mine to the opera and the ballet
(and it ain't the girls' legs I was staring at!!!!) and the symphony. Bit
uncomfortable after the second act or whatever but it makes me feel like a
real girl!
(Here you go Nemo, "Feel like a girl? There's never one around when you
want one!")
These days, most of the time, I feel like an old man, but I'm not really
into those!

And anyway, I hope he safed his vouch OK. He might need it later!

I been rappin up well too.

I don't mean I bin singin soprano that Black sort of monotonotinous angry,
complainin-type music like what you hear comin outa badly-driven cars with
lotsa dents in 'em you know. No, I don;t mean dat!! I mean I've been puttin
on lotsa extra clothes on because of the cold weather. That's what I mean!

Ere! Who put the Captain Mainwearing with izz andz over izz
exhausted-looking face over there?

Anyway . . .

Twit at Mohel Rail: It's not very fashionable wearin your pullover inside
your trousers like that!

Me: Well it was good enough for Ernest Borgnine and the other blokes in "On
the Waterfront" and that's a damned good film - so it's good enough for me!

Twit: Dumbfounded, shtum-type silence and nothing else to say either.

Well my daughter in s valient attempt to make her old man hip gave me as a
xmas present an oddly designed sweatshirt adorned with images of rapper
called Makavelli. Non so perche il suo nome non e Machiavelli. She
apparently worries about me. But don't fret about her, I taught her about
the goon show and she is a fan too. I have done my parental duty.

Well done that man!

Omnes: He should be!

If anyone had said in the days of Rock and Roll, that in 40 years' time,
people would be prepared to pay good money for records of songs with one
note in 'em, they'd have been laughed off the planet!

If anyone had said in the days of Rock and Roll, that in 40 years' time, men
other than Bertie Woofters would have been conned by clever marketing into
wearing perfume in the form of after-shave and deodorant, they'd have been
laughed off the planet too!

Radetzky's March has (inevitably) just began at the Vienna New Year's
Concert on TV and reminded me of a very amusing performance at a Kenwood
Concert many years ago - before they were too dumbed-down by having the crap
amplified out of them and all sorts of amuse the plebs -type programmes.
The march began so quietly that we started clapping in time with the
conductor - but as the volume came up, the orchestra was playing to a
different rhythm.
That caused a bit of a laugh but the really funny thing was that
only
about
half the audience knew about the tradition of clapping and the rest didn't -
leading to a lovely mixture of clapping, shushing and laughing!
And BTW, if classical music is such crap, how come Vienna New
Year's
Concert
had a TV audience of around a billion?!!
And now we've got an extremely long film about lower abdominal
pain -
Gone
With The Wind!
What amuses me most, is when some people arrive at a concert in posh
frocks and bow ties (we don't dress up at the Royal Concert Hall
usually) and then applaud between movements *snigger*
Peasants!
--Judith the Snobbe
LOL well I wouldn't usually snigger at such folks if they didn't sneer
down their noses at those of us not dressed all posh:)
O the scruff:)
Don't apologize! There are concerts here where many people go just to
see and be seen, and you can bet they're the ones who applaud between
movements. I snigger at all of 'em!

One pratt after the riot at the first performance of Stravinsky's Rite of
Spring:

"I don't come to the ballet to listen to music. I come to be entertained!"

That's a strangulated bassoon at the beginning BTW. There's not a lot of
people know that.

Which is why you should turn javascript off in Outlook Express
particularly and in all other mail and news group clients. Most news
readers do not permit it to be turned on. M$ crap turns it on by
default, you have to turn it off.
