h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Unfortunately the concepts of Discipline and [Horror, Horror!] SELF-Discipline are so "non-PC" in schools now that even knowing how these words are spelt is probably enough to constitute grounds for dismissal for the majority of teachers

I wouldn't be too sure. It wasn't all that many years ago that I was suspended by a deputy head for (and I quote) "being disorganised".

Sounds a little harsh!

So, here's how it goes..I get bored..I go off to get a 'drink' in a pub..I say hmm, Cheshire Grin Inn sounds about right..I think that music in a dark hole seems even more right..and WHO do I run into?

*closes her eyes and listens to not-crappy clarinet playing*

*drinks deeply from her bloody mary*

god i love green olives

*cheshire grin* what a place!

Thanks. What do you want to hear? Weber? Arnold? Schumann? Mozart?

hmmm...i'm obsessed with faure..any of that on tap?

Hmm. I can sing you some if you'd like?

can you sing me Pie Jesu (from the requiem)? Pretty please?

Pie Jesu,
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
Donna eis requiem

I likes you. Can I keep you?

I am yours to keep!

WHAT DO THEY HAVE AGAINST LATIN?????

Yes, okay, okay, it's probably breaking the rules. Ah well. I can't remember how it translates and would sound so cr*p in English anyway...

*comforts you* yeah...well, we educated choristers all know the words anyway, right?

Absolutely. And the rough translation to some of it...

CORPseUS NATUrallyMe

How about that for a disguise?

*grins in a congratulatory manner* Now who's the amazing bird?

(whenever the smiley people get time to create that one)

*laughs amiably and nods*

I think is our official line of enquiry.

sounds lovely, lovey

Maybe we'd better stick to the English words...

Purcell *sigh*, Byrd, Tallis, Stanford, Ireland, Taverner, Tavener (I love those two... so different in style but people still get them muddled up!)care for any more?

*ponder* how would you like to do some madrigal? *smiles as she thinks of the costumes we'd get to wear*
