...but probably spell it Charlie Mange.

Break a leg, Feg!

I know a girl called Jessamine (sp?) after the 60s hit by the Casuals. Not that she herself would ever listen to it!

Today: Woo-ooo Black Betty, bam-a -lam.....

I have referred to the Beatles and been met with blank stares. It frightens me...

I heard that on Ken Bruce on R2; I thought they were rather good.

If it works for you, that's all that matters. Go for it!

Splendid! And I disagree - there is NO upper age limit to learning an instrument. But learning it SUCCESSFULLY...! I speak as one who had a thoroughly useless gitbox lesson today. Might as well have been sightreading!

Just done a harvest evensnog with 4 ripsnorter hymns and all the stops out...

Yup, soon be Holy Karaoke wherever you go!

As long as you've found a way of making music that suits you, that's excellent. You are a sociable person and the piano is solitary; so bells are perfect for you. And the piano is perfect for an antisocial old mare like me...

Well it's a waste if you don't have another go - you were good!

My new old books are lovely; I love Victorian books. A favourite is the Spanish phrase book with such useful sentences as 'Pray tell me where I may engage the services of a fine fencing master'. If I ever go to Spain again I shall pack it...

Well PRETEND there are marauding knuckledraggers outside then!

Go on, give it a go!

I want to kill kids serving in shops who seem to think 'You all right there?' is an acceptable alternative to 'Can I help you, madam?' I always say 'No, I have a backache and my husband's run off with his secretary.' Stuns them into a nervous silence, usually.

Could you not ask for it to be played again?

Too much information!!!

Went to a book fair today and bought 2 C19th books (one on Mendelssohn, one on the art of letter writing) for a pahnd each - bargain!

Does Tracey let you have a good old Cwm Rhondda/Hydrofoil now and then?

Tell 'em you have a hearing problem and get a tiny weeny radio to plug in yer lug. Radio 3 turned up loud enough should drown the gruesome twosome.

Have to admit that's why I stick to the surgery for mine. They have a mighty production line;in front door, hand in letter, get ticket, roll up sleeve, WHAM! Sit down if wobbly. Then out the back door. I suggested that we roll up our right sleeve, cruise up to the nurse, hand in letter, cruise up to...

Bohemian Rhapsody on a loop today. Good job I love it.

Probably like the one they have in the Midland bank...the bloke is Smarmy McSmarmface.

Blimey, the things people do for a ride in an ambience. Did they put the woowoos on? Are you allergic to eggs? They always ask me that before they stab me. Are you better now?

10CC did one about a weirdo on one of their albums but I can't remember which. And Radiohead did 'Creep'.

Of COURSE you do.

What station are they on? Mental note to avoid that one...

I wish pianists wouldn't be so scared of the organ; it'd make finding accompanists for services so much easier and I wouldn't be doing eight gigs over Christmas. As you know, organ playing's not as hard as people think it is!

EVERYONE smells of Vick in the winter!

Another new one on me. Today's earworm; the dreadful sax music from the now tv ad. Yech.

Come Christmas it'll be carols on a loop!

Even some box files or files with bits cut out of them would be good.

Nope. Slawitt.

Is the Morning star still going? I thought it had gone. I have a very right wing mate to whom I post parcels and always threatened to wrap them in the MS...
Have you seen the thing called 'Overheard In Waitrose'? Some of them are hilarious.

It's on Amazon as a download.

She should ask the church for some shelves/bookcases or something.

He has released the same song several times but with different titles, it seems to me.

I have the memory of a goldfish...

Amazing what you find on YT, innit?

Is it in an organ loft? If it's in the main body of the church it's harder to be untidy. All the ones I play are out in plain sight, regrettably...no covert perusal of the parish mag possible!

I've given up trying to decipher what Bouncy and her ilk are on about!

How IS it pronounced?
Apparently 'Weight Limit 3 Tons' is pronounced as 'I have a 40 ton lorry and I'm going to drive it over this bridge' in Lithuanian. Marlow Bridge now closed for the forseeable while engineers try to sort out the damage done by Girteka Logistics on Saturday night; halfwits.

We missed you too, Greta Garbo.

Ooo, there's posh! I know where YOUR money will be going...

I told my mum I was going to stay in a big old house in Kent with the Sunday school mob. 'Knowle house?' she asked.''I TOLD you it was an ol' house!' I said.

Looks as though the festival is getting bigger and bigger - great news for the area. Successful music festivals do a lot - people come who don't know the area that well and realise how nice it is. Almost as good as a tourist office! Do you get cup hunters who 'do' every festival for miles?

Either I'm psychic, OR...you didn't move fast enough!

Can't believe they don't give you the tuning gig though...

Loved that one. My niece as a kid had an obsession about Popcorn and made my brother play it every day. I liked the Crunch by the Rah Band too. There were some good electronic instrumentals in the 70s.
