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.

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!

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.

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?
