I Never Thought…….

But surely if he is sacked then, for him, the show won’t be going on, will it?
So I’m not sure your attempt at highbrow humour works any better than your American Pie effort from earlier.[/quote]

i think you if you bother to look further than your wikipedia fueled opinion, you may find that canio dons the clown outfit and makeup and proclaims that the show must go on without him, which i think is very apt in this case.

No I didn’t bother looking it any further, so I take it back and apologise. Well done you.[/quote]

‘La commedia e finita’ was perhaps the song by canio i should have quoted this may have been a little more apt than vesti la giubba,

but the whole opera is a tradgedy,

read that however you want.

I’ll read it as a spelling mistake ;) [/quote]

so sorry not being a giant of the literary world has its downside.

i seem to remember you resorting to this tactic with young jimmy, but i suppose it adds to your self-evident feeling of superiority knowing others do something you don’t, make errors

Fishing, route-one football, and now opera.

You really are a man of surprising diversity.

standish two of my great passions in life are fishing and opera – sadly one of the others has been spoiled for me by the rubbish served up by its protagonists,

but you do me an injustice – like most, i neither like, or want to see route one football, nor do i want to see passing for passings sake with no end product

is it to much to ask for pace, energy, commitment, running with the ball at feet, crosses coming in and an odd goal or two and most of all not giving up and buckling when things dont go to plan, that has happened all to often since martinez took over.

erm what can i say you just love me :romance-kisslips:

sorry did i say opera – i meant to say ‘oprah’ finest talkshow host in the world.

seriously listen to ‘che gelida manina’ from la boheme by puccini sung by jussi bjorling or pavarotti,it will be on youtube,and you may understand why it is my passion, add to that being brought up as a child sinatra,elvis or the beatles was not the music of choice in our household, it was gigli, carusso or di stephano, even so it took me many years to appreciate or understand why, but one cant legislate for taste.

sw – if you get the oportunity try and go to see an opera in manchester – the productions there tend to be the more popular lighter operas by the likes of verdi, puccini or bizet, i have to admit that alot of the germanic or russian stuff is not to my taste.
