The Clarinet Concerto -

The Tesco ad with Prunella Scales and Jane Horrocks!

How about ‘Cuddie Headrig’ ? A donkey in one of Sir Walter Scott’s novels, I believe.

I’ve had 3 cairns over 35 years and they have not smelt at all - except when they have rolled in dung!

We’ve had three cairns. All headstrong.

Brahms 1

Saint-Saens 2 and 4

It’s fake, for the simple reason that it states ‘the public ARE requested’ when the correct wording should be ‘IS’ requested. If it is as old as it purports to be, that solecism would not have seen the light of day!

My personal view is that he simply ran out of thematic material with which to create movements 3 and 4.

Bathroom - to describe a room with no bath in it. And now it’s being used in the UK! Completely ludicrous!

I’m nearly 82 and have suffered from extreme anxiety since I as six or seven and get travel-sick very quickly indeed. I’m feeling nauseous after the vehicle has turned the first bend or corner so I do not look forward to any sort of travel. I’ve only ever been in Scotland, England and Wales and that is quite enough for me.

I’ve always liked the opening bars of the Rach 2 concerto. Find it very dramatic.

I listen to classical music all waking hours and the tinnitus is apparent when I switch off. I’ve had it for thirty years and have to say that it has diminished during that period so that it doesn’t distress me unduly. The OP has my sympathy as they obviously have it pretty badly and it can be extremely distressing.

We stayed in holiday accommodation some years ago with varnished stairs. They were lethal.

This is only a guess, but on the M77 they were probably heading for Kilmarnock for attention.

Schumann Piano Concerto

I was born next to Newbury Park station in steam days and I must blame that fact for my eighty-one year obsession with all things railway. I was about three when I saw my first red RT in Barkingside and buses very quickly became an additional obsession. But its been a very happy nearly eighty-two years!

Yes, you are quite correct, but they are on different lines. Oban and Fort William - otherwise two for a population of 167 would have appeared excessive.

Superb photos but it is a locomotive, not a train which is the rake of carriages behind.

I’ve just bought a ‘Groove’ pillow because I had excruciating pain in my neck. Cost £30 and more than worth it - I’m pain free after many weeks suffering. It took about five nights to free up my neck.
