It sounds from the BBC that the government may tax a drink called 'Lartay'.
I hope they don't tax that Italian milky coffee called Latte (to rhyme with Cat A) instead.

Can anyone help me out here? This train was evacuated in the Midlands. What is the significance of the second word in this headline?

When is AI going to realise that it can't 'summarise' a piece of music?

We are reliably informed that all four of these manuals of the magnificent Hill organ at St John’s, Buxton, will be used in our performance of Saint Saëns Organ Symphony THIS SUNDAY.

Not to be missed!

Du font de l'abîme - 'From the depths of the abyss I cry to you'
Written by a 24-year-old Lili Boulanger reacting to the First World War going on around her, this work has worrying echoes of our current world.

@thecbso.bsky.social I'm waiting patiently for your first post. I understand that you are still posting on toXic.

And don't you ever forget it - because we won't.

On Sunday 6 April, for the first time in its 80 year history, @BuxtonMusSoc will perform a work by a female composer.
But what a composer! And what a work!
If you have never heard Lili Boulanger's 'Au font de l'abîme', you need to.
If you have, I'm sure that you will be coming to listen again.

What a twat.

Can anyone recommend something useful to do with my life on Monday afternoon and evening as our major broadcasters fawn over an orange idiot 3000 miles away?

Why are you giving Farage airtime? We know he is a liar and disrupter. He is a smug bastard who thrives on misinformation and stirring up hatred.

Limited tickets still available.

Everyone needs to know this.

Well. I've escaped from the angry cesspit of Twitter - since foolishly renamed X. But it does worry me that so many are still there enjoying being spiteful.
