@xandvt here is, with apologies, my Advice for a 'Bard-beque' this weekend:
Two Households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Back Garden, where we lay our scene,
From Marks or Waitrose buy new marinade
But Sanitise, to make civil hands clean!
(cont'd)
The more everyone has to say how great something is, the worse it is.
During the dying days of Nazi Germany all the Public Officials were forced to repeat lies of how great Adolf Hitler was and how well things were going.
You see that right now in the dying days of Donald Trump
@neilhimself one of my students has asked me to ask you why you kept Click-Clack The Rattlebag as a short story and didn't write a longer one or an entire series based on the original. He loves finding all the clues which are dropped in the narrative. TIA!

The fabulous Tom Corfield on accompaniment today for @derbybachchoir Come and Sing in Ticknall. Despite the freezing temperatures and the sticky F note (quite important for this piece) he works around it. Genius. @classmusderby@DerbyCQ#Mozart
The @derbybachchoir has got off to a great start today with a packed church. In shocking news, James Foulds actually led us in a warmup this morning. More on this story as we get it...
Seniors voted to gut Social Security.
Men voted for their wives and daughters to die from miscarriages.
Immigrants voted for deportation raids.
Poor people voted for tax cuts for billionaires.
Women voted to have fewer rights than men.
Police voted for a convicted felon.
โWe ask women why they donโt come forward when sexually assaulted.
Itโs because we live in a world where an abuser will be our next president.โ
@i_iratus I feel your pain. Had to do a whole book of moving footnotes to endnotes because of publisher guidelines. Personally I prefer a footnote because I don't have to keep turning the pages. Am also a big fan of the Comedy Footnote which gets lost in translation if you have to search.
