That's dangerous Phil! I haven't heard you sing yet!

Fortunately I'm not a dragon, well not most of the time, and tend to be gentle on pupils. I'll give you work to do mind you... and I don't have access to the type of contract that Simon Cowell has access to!

You might think I'm a no-hoper! ill.gif I hope you'll be honest.


I very rarely get no hopers.

Yes I'll be honest, but that normally means I tell someone who thinkgs there a baritone they're a tenor or vice versa.

I think we've just hijacked this thread.

I'm probably being completely stupid here, but I don't really know who to vote for. Could someone possibly explain the meaning of 'loveable' in this context?


I'm stuck on this one too, have I missed an explanation somewhere?

It's a hard one to describe... it was skylark's suggestion, so maybe she'll be able to describe it smile.gif

I think Skylarks post (in the Awards Thread) goes to the effect of...

"There should be a Most Loveable Poster Award for those that are loveable but not sensible" smile.gif

Hope that helps in deciding to vote for me someone!!! rolleyes.gif

Am still chuffed to bits! [big grin] biggrin.gif

What with this, and basking in the warm afterglow of a successful Summer School, AND watching Nils' concert this afternoon [he was fabulous, I'm sure he grows extra arms when he drums] this is such a lovely week. smile.gif

And it's SUNNY too. smile.gif

AND KatyJay's got me to commit to singing in French at Woodford Green, which will be the first time ever, sacre bleu! laugh.gif

Can life get any better?**

laugh.gif What ya going to sing?

Together the lovely KJ and I are going to sing the Barcarolle from Offenbach. smile.gif

I've read through the lyrics, but my french being as it is, it's a little hard to understand.

But the gist of it is:

Someone tried to Bar Carol*piano from the Forums, but she won't take no for an answer and therefore is Often Back.

And then the chorus goes

"Quite right too, we'd miss her if she went.
No more nights of stars and love, coz C*P's heaven sent."

I think that's basically it, with a lot of Ah, Ah'ing at the end.

Is that right KJ?

(P.S. Don't know about Offenbach, to me it sounds more like G&S!)

The poetic message is that carol*piano is about to be banned from the Forums, much to the distress of the other Forumites. The lyrics go something like this:

[cue music]

BAR CAROL(*piano) by OftenBack

Scribe of laughs and scribe of love,
Flow gently o'er the Forums.

Carol's around, below, above,
no more she'll heed the Mods.

Posting thus, we gaze in awe
on beauteous frontal swelling.
Knowing that this is for sure
where MrB doth dwell.

Oh Carol, stay a while,
Here is where you're meant.
Your loss would cramp our style.
We'd miss you if you went.

Post on and on...... Till the dawn.

Ah!

Scribe of laughs and scribe of love,
Flow gently o'er the Forums.

She "Says Nice Things 'bout the Person Above".
No more she'll heed the Mods.

Scribe of laughs and of love,

Ah!

Gently flow o'er the Fooooooooooorums, Carol's around, below, above!

Uh Oh, Uh Oh, Uh Oh!
Uh Oh, Uh Oh, Uh Oh!

Uh Oh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
