this is true, you had alluded to this in your trademark obtuse way some time ago

But when I was searching for this I found posts of mine far more recent I didn’t even recall making, so.

idnr the post but its entirely likely the opportunity to have a dig at peter crouch eclipsed any other info processing at the time

I don’t recall writing that either, tbh, and I’m not sure what made me presume I had won over her mammy - which is a 20-30 year project with no real guarantee of success at the end of it.

Remember, even if it seems you've been a creeper for no reason, creeping is its own reason.

lol I have to say I was impressed by the perfume thread bit, I wouldn’t have remembered whatever tipped off imago there.

A mutual acquaintance of ours has likely passed it on by now, but an encore can't hurt:
Happy (belated) birthday!

Back to the original point of the thread? Who is your favorite soprano these days? Favorite tenor? What are your favorite languages?
― Garu’s Got a Rona (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 21:39 (three years ago) link
(Please ignore extra '?)
Thinking just about the ones I’ve seen live in the last few years, Yoncheva stands out as a genuinely exceptional talent. I’ve been impressed by Lisette Oropesa every time I’ve seen her as well. It was unfortunate Grigolo turned out to be such a menace as I’d always thought he was very good. Calleja, probably, of those currently employable by the Royal Opera House.
Otherwise, predictably, Netrebko and Kaufmann.
Russian and French are probably my favourite languages, despite being poor at both.

Cool. No love for Piotr B?

I’m racking my brain trying to remember whether I’ve seen him perform but I suspect not. He’s always good value on screen, though.
