@Eva_GBTheatre @JayneOzanne @Rgt71Robert @dioceseoflondon Oh yeah, it’s my fault. Apologies.

@JerryS01 @ada4058 Naxos with the Iceland Orchestra is my go to...

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@JerryS01 @ada4058 Not really. I used to listen all the time on any old CD but there must be more variety now.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@ada4058 @JerryS01 The ballad section, after it slows down then goes into the minor key with the sweeping strings, is sublime. It’s on now. Thanks for the reminder.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@JerryS01 @ada4058 The Karelia Suite!

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@bcgray So cool.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@midlandsmaestro It takes about 2.5 hours to drive between the two. A good section of road from Cambridge to MK but old country road from MK through Bucks to Ox.

@DrFrancisYoung St Benet’s at St Paul’s Wharf is not shy of its colours.

@JayHulmePoet I wasn’t referring to a living, singular. Rather, I was referring to multiple livings, legacies produced from art that last generations.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@nktgill Partly, but prizes also aim, like commissions, to select the best. Of course, there is reciprocity and community too but artists often really want to beat their rivals, sometimes literally. It’s an intrinsic feature of art history.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@nktgill Sure. That’s only right, but biographies of artists all attest to pretty fierce rivalries and, of course, actual organised competitions and selections, like prizes etc. Anyway...

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@nktgill It’s not about competition but it’s definitely about as competitive as sport.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@JayHulmePoet @nktgill But a poetry slam is a competition.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@JayHulmePoet @nktgill Exactly.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@nktgill @JayHulmePoet Art is very competitive. Competition and rivalry is a thread that runs through art history.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@bobscartoons A tad overwrought.

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@LukeJohnsonRCP @spikedonline How dare you!

@CambApproaches @eastwestrail This is funny. Victorian railway engineers traversed across Rannoch Moor @midlandsmaestro

[Dr DLJ @deinioljonesGL7]

@CambApproaches @eastwestrail @wildlifebcn I think the southern rail route would pick up more people. The south of Cambridge should be incorporated into a new, Cambridge mega city @midlandsmaestro
