It's 11 pm, Ma'am. School's closed.   

'Tis an excellent time for score study, mental practice, listening, youtube watching, video watching ... etc

'Tis an excellent time for score study, mental practice, listening, youtube watching, video watching ... etc 

*sternly points to on-taskedness*

Honestly, I haven't thought about that. *hides pile of scores I've been drooling on*

Does listening to Copeland count? (A band, not a composer.) It relaxes me.

[momopi]

Hello. I'm momopi and I love eating and sleeping.

'Tis an excellent time for score study, mental practice, listening, youtube watching, video watching ... etc 

Do you ever actually relax, or does music occupy you constantly.

*Scratches head, cuts off a lump of cheese, gulps down milk, fiddles with remote switch, contemplates bed, switches off telly, puts milk in fridge, hides evidence of snack, clears up crumbs from floor, closes down computer, switches off lights, makes sure back door is locked, draws curtains, goes upstairs, cleans teeth, says prayers, chooses book to read, kisses teddy, gets into bed, decides not to read, switches off bedside light, goes to sleep, wakes up, has shower, eats porridge, gets in car, goes to work, answers the phone, goes to lunch, answers the phone again, goes home, has dinner, looks at pianostreets, scratches head, cuts off lump of cheese etc...*

*Scratches head, cuts off a lump of cheese,

You forgot the Havarti...

gulps down milk,

goat's?

fiddles with remote switch,

You should get so lucky!

contemplates bed,

As above.

switches off telly,

Assuming that it was even on in the first place.

puts milk in fridge,

Ewes' this time?

hides evidence of snack,

Well, if egg substitute is involved, that might be perfectly understandable.

clears up crumbs from floor,

Might you reasonably suppose that any such even needs to be cleared up therefrom?

closes down computer,

Ever done that yourself?

switches off lights, makes sure back door is locked, draws curtains, goes upstairs, cleans teeth,

This reminds me of the old gag about "time to wind up the cat and put out the clock"...

says prayers,

Hey, this is Karli, not pianistimo, that you are talking about here...

chooses book to read, kisses teddy,

Teddy who?

gets into bed, decides not to read, switches off bedside light, goes to sleep, wakes up, has shower, eats porridge,

Or something rather more complex than that, methinks...

gets in car, goes to work, answers the phone, goes to lunch, answers the phone again, goes home, has dinner, looks at pianostreets, scratches head, cuts off lump of cheese etc...*

I think that it's high time that K responded to this - and on your own head be it, Thal...

Best,

Alistair

I have never worked out how to split someones post and comment on parts of it.

You seem to be the expert, so i would be obliged if you would kindly instruct me therein.

I claim to be no more an expert in this than you appear to be in inserting the appropriate apostrophe in "someone's" but, having first selected "quote", all you have to do is insert an opening square bracket, a forward slash, the word quote and a closing square bracket (without any intervening spaces) immediately following each section of of another member's post to which you wish to respond, then type your response, then copy the poster's header before repeating this process as many times as you see fit and there is text to which to respond.

Well, yes, it is probably fair to say that music occupies me constantly, but that doesn't mean I never relax  .

Hmmmm ... I thought Thal was talking about himself

OK

a forward slash,

so far so good

the word quote

looking good

and a closing square bracket (without any intervening spaces)

it works!

A very exciting life you lead Thal. What exactly is porridge anyway?

[pianochick93]

A mush of oats and milk. It's got approximately the same consistensy as Weetbix.

[G.W.K]

You don't know what porridge is? I suppose you aren't missing much, it's revolting.

G.W.K

[thalbergmad]

Never thought i would here a Scot say that.

Thal

[G.W.K]

Never thought i would here a Scot say that.

LOL...yeah well, it is disgusting. I think what really put me off it was when I was in nursery, they tried to give us lukewarm porridge for lunch.

I've tried it since then, still hate it. LOL

G.W.K

[morningstar]

Think I'll stick with cornflakes and toast lol

Nice to me you guys, I see there is quite a mix of people from all parts of the world on here. I'm from England by the way!

[G.W.K]

I'm from England by the way!

I liked that introduction until that final sentence! LOL

Probably because I am Scottish...

There is nothing wrong with Scottish people, when they're in Scotland.

[pianochick93]

ALL British people have cool accents, therefore they are all good. (mostly)

So gwk, you hate the English?

[G.W.K]

So gwk, you hate the English?

Not hate...but erm...I dislike the majority of them.

[morningstar]

What about aussies who can do respectable imitations of both accents?

I doubt you could do a "respectable imitation" of a Scottish accent. You are probably under the impression that we are all red-haired, dance in "skirts" (as foreign people call them) and chase after Haggis with rocks.

Shorty, thal or any other English person: Don't say a word! LOL

They would have to be very drunk first. That's when the real Scottish accent is achieved.

When I saw this I thought, "what a great opportunity".

Shorty, thal or any other English person: Don't say a word! LOL

G.W.K

OK, enough said, for the moment.

G.W.K

I was thinkin red haired, but I know they are kilts not skirts and had no idea chasing people with rocks was a Scottish pastime.

[G.W.K]

Haggis is not a person, you numpty.

Haggis is Scotland's national dish. It's difficult to explain but every female I know, hates it. LOL

Ah. So by chase you mean like how one would chase food with a drink of some sort?

[G.W.K]

No. Never mind, you wouldn't understand.

G.W.K

[csharp_minor]

G.W.K

Even the Scottish females too?

Then I will supprise you again, I like haggis and I'm female, AND I'm English!!!!!

[csharp_minor]

ALL British people have cool accents, therefore they are all good. (mostly)

Thats fine, as long as you don't think we all speak with a pooosh, 1920s accent. Times have moved on, so now we speak with a Essex Chav dialect! (well those of us from near London ) LOL

I'm not sure if I would say my accents / dialect is cool. I do try to pronouce my ' T's though.

[G.W.K]

Even the Scottish females too?

Then I will supprise you again, I like haggis and I'm female, AND I'm English!!!!!

Yes, including the Scottish females.

I am surprised. An English female who likes haggis. You do know it isn't an actual animal? Most people think it is. LOL

G.W.K

Ha Ha! Of course its not an animal!... There are people out there who actually think a haggis is an animal! OMG so funny.

Well for those poor people that live in ingorance, a haggis is minced mutton ( sheep ) and oats, some other suff I don't really know, cooked in a sheep's stomach.

And for those of you who are going to say ewwwwwww! You quite happily much on sauages that are made up of all kinds of parts of animals and the skin of a sauages is a pig's intestine ( if its a real sauage ).

nice

[shortyshort]
