Hello Feg. I have had limited data (5Gb) since 2005 but now it's not enough. My normal bill was £15.99 but in October it was just over £30 because my allowance ran out about eight days prior to my reset day. (unknown to me) I believe I'm being ripped off, however I've found out I'm out of contract w...

To change the subject, do you have unlimited broadband Gill (and Feg)?

Usually to other forums and social media such as Twitter. We're dominated by piano tuners and a small community of learners, there's only one teacher that uses this site regularly, that's Colin N in Bradford.

Yes, via Bristol, North East Wales and Herefordshire.

So, I'm going to need some more piano books, she'll tell me which ones to look out for in the music shop. I really cannot wait, at last I'm going to be a piano learn...

We've been exchanging Emails for a week or so, she has a website and a Twitter and she's given me some very sound and constructive advice. She says she wants me to succeed with her help, and I agree with her. I'm actually looking forward to it greatly, and the fact she's in Wales doesn't bother me. ...

I should say welcome to the UK Piano Page, cazza525

It would be good for you if you did have one or two adult students too. I should also add there are hardly any piano teachers that use this forum nowadays. Which is why my welcome is special, because you're in great need here!

Plymouth, eh? I used to work at Derriford Hospital as a catering porter brtween 95 and 97, used to ferry food between kitchens on level 2 and restaurant on level 7.

Don't suppose you're anywhere near Birmingham, are you cazza??

BREAKING NEWS Possibility of a trip to Wales next week for an appointment with a piano teacher I've been swapping emails with for a few weeks.

Our class at junior school used to think Boogie Nights by Heatwave was Bogey Nights. Back in those days bogey and any reference to nasal secretions was considered to be very smutty.

I thought it was good - but i wish those bloody tenors had done some practice! My fitness instructor was on there doing one of her classes at Cocksmoors Woods leisure centre, well her back was anyway. I spotted her right away and I mentioned it to her at class this morning. She even played 'The Onl...

well, I seem to be better at cat husbandry and Welsh than I am with pianos.....

dave brum

It would be Mawr as Tywysog (prince) is masculine and Du consequentially has no mutation so neither would Mawr. Y Tywysog Du Mawr.......or if she was female, 'Y Dywysoges Ddu Fawr'. However female cats are known as queens, not princesses!

Have to post a photo of Sarah Janeycakes.

That was actually the awfully nice Derek Batey, who died this year. Was the only notable networked programme Border Television produced at its Carlisle base.

Sad Sweet Dreamer by Sweet Sensation is an endless stream of misheard lyrics - and that's just the title alone! Sanskrit creeper, sack redeemer are only two possible interpretations.

New improved Sophie Anne

dave brum

Sophie actually did something this morning she hasn't done for over a week, climb the stairs at 5.30am and start meowing for food!! And she didn't hesitate in eating her breakfast either, so she must be feeling better. It's certainly a marked improvement on how she was yesterday (Friday).

Is that the same chapel where you play the organ by any chance??

Good girl, Sophie Anne!!

Her stomach is much better now and she seems happier. She's had some nice tasty mackerel and ate every last morsel I gave her.

Any good gigs on remembrance Sunday then Gill? (or 'Dydd Sul Y Cofio'). Vicar will expect you to abandon traditional hymns and go for something more 'poppy'. And I've just realised, all these scares with Sophie has made me miss the Toby Boalch gig at the UofB music faculty I've been eagerly anticipa...

Soaps was really down in the dumps last night. It took me half an hour to feed her but she only had half of her bowl, and she didn't drink her milk either. She'll just stand there and stare at her food. Then I put her on the litter tray and she just sat and stared Until Sarah Jane comes out of nowhe...

But how did you get on at the vet? Well not YOU, but Sophie? Let us know. The vet examined her thoroughly, had a good feel around her body, looked into her eyes with the spot torch and took her temperature. But she just said that her illness was just down to the fact she is very old. Like old human...

Sophie was much less alert this morning, I had to take her out of the basket and then she found her own way into the kitchen to feed. She had most of her breakfast (some Kitekat) of her own accord but she had to be tempted to finish off the last four chunks and the splash of milk I put her. She's dr...

There's nothing clinically wrong with Sophie that a vet can cure, so they said. It's just down to her age and that she may be getting a little bit senile. However if there's no improvement by next Wednesday (13.11.13) then she's going back. She hasn't had a stroke and her temperature is normal. I fe...

Sophie had a normal sized portion of chicken this morning, and we didn't have to spoon feed het. Then Teresa put her on the litter tray and she didn't hide in the corner. She actually used it for its proper purpose and not as a hideyhole. Biggest problem for her is Sarah Jane. She's scared stiff of ...

dave brum

Update on Sophie, we went to a branch of a well known UK supermarket and got some plain cooked chicken, and she's had a few small pieces which she seemed to initially enjoy, but soon lose interest in. She's also had some licks of custard. Extremely languid and still not herself.

So you're a meowleycat lady as well as a piano one, Gill?
