@BBCRadio3 @MannGeorgia Here's and association for you... Miriam Hyde Village Fair - Oh dear what can the matter be - two fat ladies stuck in a lavatory - Haydn Symphony No. 88

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

@SaraMohrPietsch Thank you, @SaraMohrPietsch . Really enjoyed this. Love how you gently introduce us to works and don't gush about them, or litter your description of them with superlatives. Thank you for good choices and letting them speak for themselves. Looking forward to next week.

@LevParikian "These ones", or even worse "these ones here". Ingrained from an early age that "these" is enough. (See also "those ones"...)

@gavinthomas2015 Denis Healey

And at #PAlive2023 an outstanding session from David Rowan about the impact of AI on Pensions. Plenty to be positive about.

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

At #PAlive2023. Another 'interesting' point (if you are that way inclined...). Pension Scheme Trustees have too much on their plates already. How can they additionally consider their scheme's role as a responsible investor? Should they take on this role?

#PALive2023

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

Interesting juxtaposition at #Pensionsaspectslive23 this morning.... Excellent session by Mattea Pauc of @EarthlingsRe which ended with a compelling audience comment that we should be consuming much less, and reusing what we can.... (1/2)

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

2/2. ... Then, straight after the break, and introduction to a chap promoting Gold as part of alternative assets. Does Gold actually have a part in a useful sustainable economy? I'm not so sure.

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

#PAlive2023 is the better hashtag!

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

Being less sceptical, it would be good to know where gold is used in products/services which help combat environmental disruption, and what % of gold market value that covers.... Anyone got a view?

@LevParikian Did anyone else see Sir Cumstance in the congregation alongside Sir Cumflex, and just to the rear of Sir Feit of the Giggles?

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

@LevParikian Ah, yes. Where did 'Pomp' end up this world cup? And 'Circumstance' for that matter...

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

Those bloody lego pieces!

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

Swifts ( and parakeet)

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

Yay! First swifts of the year... In Seville, with orange blossom and tapas. But the swifts are the best!

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

@LevParikian Was it a joke that took you there, Lev? They get me back to being an 8 year old boy every time. (e.g. Why did the constipated baker have brown hands? He needed a poo.)

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

@LevParikian This is the worst choice ever.

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

@LevParikian Twit v Claptrap... Now that's a tough call!

[Giles Wade @GilesMWade]

@LevParikian Oh. Thingumy lost. Poo.
