Never mind lol

It’s an interesting thought. Might be a good conversation starter for your next first date, Christmas lunch etc

I get you want to be charitable but would you seriously describe physical interference to prevent immediate danger as “severe punishment of unacceptable behaviour”?

There’s lots of film scores here but they’re better than these examples IMO. This year from memory they did Empire Strikes Back and How To Train Your Dragon 2 which are both great scores. But I think these kinds of things probably make up about 20% of the programming at most.

(Also having known a lot of excellent classical musicians you’d be surprised how many of them have the most shockingly normie tastes and actually enjoy Elf more than Shostakovich)

It’s easy to fall into the trap of assuming this is some modern development, but hundreds of years ago most orchestras still had to play a lot of inane trash none of them particularly liked but the monarch who paid their salaries wanted to hear it.

Tbf this isn’t for the average symphony goer, this is for the people who would probably never go but now they might and bring some much-needed cash so the orchestra can afford to do the more interesting things throughout the season that aren’t well-attended.

It’s just so sad to imagine them living under this kind of fear every day

So many of them are like this I’m convinced it’s deliberate. “Hey the board is a bit hesitant on us publishing this one, they’ve asked can you at least find someone to write an intro that takes the wind out of its sails?”

Probably the child abuse

I wish this wasn’t the most depressing event in his saga

Hopefully a few flyhalves with an Aussie grandparent in there

Did you mention to the parish office you’d be available to open the church today before you decided to criticise them on social media?

The only thing it’s missing is a good coffee place. (There are some that are ok, but the coffee at both Melbourne markets is better than anything at Adelaide Central Market.)

If you find a church closed when you think it should be open, contact the parish office and let them know you’d be happy to volunteer your time to keep it open during future closes.

Lots of churches close on holidays. Many close on weekdays outside of mass times.

Yeah but surely it’s staffed by employees who might want the day off and/or the church thinks it’s better to give it to them than pay penalty rates. St Francis on Lonsdale is normally open through public holidays.
