I actually took the wrong part (a cello part - I play viola) onstage during an orchestra concert this evening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Luckily other people noticed and I and the cellists whose part I had swiped got the correct parts before we started playing, but otherwise I wouldn't have noticed until the performance started (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif)

You could have "read" the bass as alto clef and created your very own parallel organum at the 5th with the rest of the celli!

Very chic, c.1300 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Very retro (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I'm not sure Rachmaninoff would be amused, but I certainly would be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

If you are talking about http://www.graze.com/ --

I have not. However I have seen my colleagues eating from them and have noted that it feels to me like a lot of money to pay for stuff which I could assemble myself. I don't tend to eat the stuff in them, but if I did, I would buy in bulk and make up my own. I cannot speak for other people's concept of value - it could be that my colleagues feel that 3.79 is worth the convenience. I'm not saying this in a judgemental way; it's just not worth it in my own personal value system.

Yes, that's what I mean.
It's not stuff i would assemble myself. Most of it I probably wouldn't think of and buying in bulk wouldn't work for me as things would go off before I ate them. The snack size variety is the sort of thing that would suit me and it looks like you get a surprise mix from the items you tell them you like.

I tried it for a while as I had some money off coupons for it, making them only a couple of quid each and I have to say I really liked it. I tend to snack on really unhealthy stuff like crisps and chocolate, and this was an easy way of having healthier snacks during the day/evening... And its easy to cancel or suspend deliveries if you want too... lots of new stuff always coming out too, and very fresh and tasty. Like Corenfa says if you can be bothered doing it yourself it probably is much cheaper, but theres no way I personally would have bothered too... I supplemented it with a piece of fruit to snack on too and it was really filling. It also made me more aware of other healthier and tasty food!!

I think unconventionality is a great trait in today's mundane little world, Nicki!

A friend of mine had them delivered to the office for a while. Like corenfa I used to think I could make them more cheaply myself. I didn't because I know if I buy in bulk I tend to eat in bulk, and although nuts and seeds might be healthy in smallish portions they're not if you over do it.

One thing I did like was the concept of getting a little "present" every day. Because it's delivered and you don't know exactly what it contains I imagine it can be a nice little moment every day.

Perhaps you could ask your brother how he trained his nephews. As ClariNicki says, it's cheaper without them (and usually quicker too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ).

Just had a really wierd conversation about famous pieces of music with my dad and brother (both of which don't play any instruments). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) *is utterly confused*

It was all sparked off because there's a performance of ravel's bolero on sky arts 2.

also i don't know if this should be posted in the misreading thread but everytime i hear or read about the eroica symphony by beethoven, i keep thinking it should be erotica. I really don't know why. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
