OK, enough of the bad stuff, here is something just nice, it's something very English, and something very Beautiful.

The music is by Vaughn Williams, its one of my favorite 20th century pieces.

YouTube - River Torridge - Fantasia on a Theme

Its the music that I love really (though the visuals are very nice), I think 20th Century English classical (or art) music is a bit underrated, but its reputation will grow, Vaughn Williams in particular is extraordinarily good with his beautiful pastorals.

Something for you English type people to be proud of. :-6

Yeah, as for the Rugby though, thats a different story. Though I have a feeling your going to give Ireland a hard game, we are allowing ourselves to carried away at the moment after than win against France. We'll see.

Strange but true: the Vaughn-Williams are relations of my ex-wife, so I am aware of his music. I try not to let his relations affect my enjoyment of his art.:wah:

Drop away, I am very impressed.

As for the Rugby, yes you got beat today, but it was a better England performance, so that's positive.

It will be interesting to see how we do against Italy tomorrow in Rome.

Of course the Villa are playing Everton as well at Goodison so its a big day of sport tomorrow, unfortunately I will have to go sampling so I will miss most of it, still I won't complain, I really have very little to complain about. :-6

Galbally: Very much enjoyed the game. Millenium Stadium really is a great place to play Rugby. England improving, but a win would not really have been a fair reflection of the two sides. Worsley a deserved Man of the Match. We badly need a captain.

Can't see anything but an Ireland win tomorrow.
