Greetings! HA HA HA HA HA!

Here’s a “golden-oldie” from the depths of time, underneath the lj-cut. Originally written for the RMPS “members-only” website, this is its first outing in public.

RMPS Sesquicentennial Rant, 12 April 2002 )

BTW, can you get your Saint-Saens score to me or Din, perhaps tomorrow at Rosie's farewell? It's the last outstanding copy from ROCS.

Will try to remember to bring it tomorrow. Is there an contingency plan in case of a continuation of the crappy weather?

Wow, that's scathing!

Even though Gloriana's rather a notch or four above MonUCS, I just couldn't deal with singing the piece of music again this Christmas, third time in 12 months...

I know :) If telling the truth hurts then I’m sorry, but it’s necessary... The scary thing is, the last story is not terribly exxagerated at all.

To really give the flavour of an interview recorded ten minutes before an RMPS rehearsal, I really should have included something in the transcript like:

Crowd noise: (loud high-pitched siren: possibly a wild hyena being tickled with a feather duster?)

PL. Oh, for heaven’s sake Jodie! I’m trying to do an interview here!

JL. Oh hello! Have you seen Foetus?

PL. No, he’s probably running late as usual. Just get Rod to blather on for ten minutes...
