With your luck, Benjamin, you'd purchase a cellarette and then discover it had been signed by Hepplewhite or Chippendale 😉

You're absolutely correct . . and I should pay more attention before replying 🙄😊

'One' is sadly underused. Once, when purchasing entry at the gate of Chenies Manor*, the lady of the house enquired (presumably in light of previous infractions) as to where we had parked. On learning we had parked outside the school, she replied, in very genteel tones: "Oh, one shouldn't . ." 😉

"Gimme a break!" Heard, rather than seen, in Australia, I think. Possibly an import 🤷😊

The Canon is particularly unfunny for the poor cellists (or, depending on the orchestration obvs, other bass instrumentalists) playing the same eight-note sequence over and over and over and . . 🥱

All the other musicians in the ensemble get a good laugh out of that though 😉 🎶🎵

It's a very short walk from here to "Anne Frank died of typhus, thus there were no gas chambers."

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

We like that one too. Also the opening of a play/concert = 'kickoff' 😊

It was pretty weird. If only there was another word he could have used to make his point . . and he LITERALLY used it in his explanation! 🙄

The MW Facebook moderator is wondering why there has been a sudden flurry of views on its page 😉

I frequently arrive far too late for one of your 'block parties' and can't resist scuttling over to Clear Sky to see what I've missed 🤭

What a fascinating read! Elitism, power, greed, inequality and mass immiseration - a story as old as time.
