A tad of mirth

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

I could still hear the Prokofiev even through the pastiche which I found surprising. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely no clue as to what that was all about.
Just shows how senses of humour can vary

It was Prokofiev’s Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet, but the last few seconds the trombonist went into the Imperial March from Star Wars, a very famous piece of music played, generally, when Darth Vader was looming.

I've not listened to Prokofiev for years and didn't know what was happening in the clip til I found myself in the kitchen humming the brass parts several minutes later.

Ah thanks Mark
Having no interest in classical music or sci fi film would explain my lack of comprehension.
I did however vaguely recall hearing the tune before and that it sounded a bit different so I was sort of on the right track :lol:

In order to open the door to Buckingham Palace you will need to have a monarchy.

Life would be much better lived backwards....

You'd start out dead and get that out of the way.

Then, wake up in an old peoples' home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy; go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.

At retirement - 18 years of age - you drive the sports car you can actually enjoy.

You eat what you want, you party... and you get ready to start school.

You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, and then.

You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions; central heating, room service on tap, larger quarters every day...

And then, you finish off as an orgasm.

I rest my case.
