I hate most of the reality stuff (not that I've seen any you understand!). All I can suggest is more alcohol. It works for me :)<BR/><BR/>Oh yes I nearly forgot.

About a year ago I got an email from the production company asking if my choir would like to take part in a programme then given the working title of "Choir Wars". It made clear that they weren't interested in the traditional choir-ey type stuff, but wanted a fresh, vibrant, rock-gospel kind of feel.<BR/><BR/>I feel sorry for the weslh choir, they were stitched up when they entered as they had no hope of winning over a rock-gospel outfit that suited their demographic. <BR/><BR/>Needless to say I gave the producers a diplomatically worded thanks, but foxtrot oscar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902593574125143496.post-30313719981289278832008-08-25T13:14:00.000-07:002008-08-25T13:14:00.000-07:00I try to stay away from most buttons, I don't get ...I try to stay away from most buttons, I don't get in trouble that way. A few years ago my son and I were looking at a site when in the corner I noticed this cute little Betty Boop. I clicked on it thinking it was a little child's site...trust me it wasn't.

I am very interested to hear about your son's musical interests, Miss Cake, and I agree entirely - if such shows encourage people to participate, then that's all to the good. Maybe that's why there is as yet no Simon Cowell-type figure, Laura (I've spent ages looking up who he is, just so I can make an attempt at a response). I'm told that Sainsbury's choir of the year will be on the wireless later on this year, Working Mum. I certainly hope so. As for the plumbers, Dotterel, I'm afraid they're nowhere to be seen at present - it's still that bloody Sky+ thingy. There is, as you so rightly state, always the 'remote' Mr Clack. Except in my case, when there isn't. (My television set is rather old, I fear, which is probably why I still await a Morse epiphany, Doshea.) Oh well.Can Bass 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10100615040661510511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902593574125143496.post-11556059529181183002008-08-25T10:57:00.000-07:002008-08-25T10:57:00.000-07:00I think the ads relate to your subject matter so i...I think the ads relate to your subject matter so it's partly your own fault :) If I had gone down the advertising route, I hate to think what might be appearing on my home page ;P<BR/><BR/>As to the choirs, after the months of Maria and Joseph, I got a bit bored so I havent actually tuned in to that one but it sounds hideous. It is a shame that some of the proper choirs singing traditional tunes cant get a look in. Mind you, if it encourages youngsters to join some of their local choral institutions, it's not such a bad thing. In the last two years my son has travelled all over the UK and also several overseas destinations as part of a local choir. It has provided him with some amazing opportunities and fostered his passion for both singing and playing various musical instruments.<BR/><BR/>PS Doshea3, Have you tried to get University Challenge on iplayer?

Though, that list of interests rather needs updating, as it's been there a while. My schedule for last year didn't allow me to watch University Challenge on a Monday night, though unless I end up with teaching hours on a Monday evening this year (perfectly possible), I will resume normal viewing schedule. The only television I allow myself to view, I must add. <BR/><BR/>I have also stopped collecting books (as they in turn just collect dust), and also have curbed my overenthusiastic CD-buying habits somewhat!Deeoshaythreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152044995722633690noreply@blogger.com
