Bargain offer on this set which contains some of the finest music by a living composer, performed by top piano-whacker Ian Pace. Everybody loved English Country-Tunes when Finnessey did his own disc, right? This is also the shiz. www.prestomusic.com/classical/pr...

When you have finished the rock podcast, you can do a history of jazz in 500 sessions. Easy and won't lead to ructions, for a change.

Better Sight Without Glasses is crackpottery. I had the misfortune to be treated by one of those who believe this stuff, which boils down to doing eye exercises instead of using specs. Would be great if it worked, but it doesn't.

Maybe they'll get all meta and explore the feelings of the actors trying to bring these much-loved characters into existence while being berated on social media for being craven sellouts.

BUT NOBODY ASKED ME TO PLAY
Sheet music cover for I Took My Harp to a Party. Said Harp is on a wagon being pulled by a fat man in evening dress. Two children follow behind, one hanging precariously onto the harp, the other propelling herself on a scooter. What this has to do with the song, fuck knows.

If you ever get bored with standard level Haggis lies, the high-difficultly extension is to explain that there's a Welsh Haggis called an "Araf", which is big and slow and wanders onto roads, so the Welsh have to paint warning before corners so drivers don't hit them...
Picture of a Welsh road. "ARAF SLOW" is written on the road.

It's a rising agent, so this makes perfect sense. Where, one wonders though, is the con? Do they sell a cream to counteract the wondrous effects of the store-cupboard sexer-upper?

Of course, the first time I saw this video, I had no idea that Madhur Jaffrey was rapping with Zohran Mamdani (aka Mr Cardamom). About as probable as Mary Berry rapping with a young Andy Burnham. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQVs...

Actually, having thought about it I was being pompous rather than uncharitable. There you go. I might even have been wrong.

I mean, it's plainly not true that nobody wants to admit they are wrong. Is it uncharitable to say so? Maybe.

No, this is a matter of character, culture, self-awareness and whatnot. It's clearly hard for a lot of people, but it's far from universal. In some lines of work everyone is wrong A LOT, and if you want to do well, you have to not care very much about it.

Saw them play once supporting Ginger Baker but this was a very long time ago and I remember bugger all about their performance. Cool name though, if you want something to stick in the mind more than half a century later.
