All this death talk is sad. My grandad is waiting on cancer test results at the moment, I really hope they come back negative. He's 69, so not very old, which I hope is a good thing. I'm not going to get upset about it unless the results say he has it, but is still
My Grandad got cancer when he was that age.
And now he's better.
So try not to worry

Job interview. Job interview. Job interview. PLEASE GIVES ME FULL TIME JOB!
Must remember not to eat or drink before it. Half of breakfast on self is not a professional look. :pac:Pixie-Fairy wrote: »Im not too sure how the interview went but they are letting me know later on!
Best of luck to both of you!
Met a boardsie today randomly. Met one of the mods of the Laois forum Aquila while I was in the LSPCA shop.
Edit: EmilyO, I hope your grandad will be okay. 0 -
I keep realising just how many Disney movies I haven't seen - My grandmother sent me a Disney video (I'm old) for every special occasion and I still have them all at home, but mostly the classics, I haven't seen a lot of the newer ones!
Tangled is on my list.
Two words for your pic: Twit twoo

Yeah apparently, it's about time I dipped my toe into the smartphone market! My bf is telling me to go into the Meteor store to get it cheaper rather than buying online (I have to switch from Pay As You Go to bill pay), but I won't get to a shop for a while, and I'm too impatient!Jane_LS_88 wrote: »EmilyO, I hope your grandad will be okay.

I'm glad your grandad is okay I'm not too worried yet, it's just a shock when you realise that the people you love are not superhuman! 0 -

It's making me feel a bit sad as well that so many of you had dads who were a bit rubbish. Mine is fantastic. Always has been but since my mum died when I was 16 he's been even more fantastic, always there for me and we're very close. He's great craic as well.
/runs off to ring Daddypootie and tell him he's awesome 0 -
sure i grew up with my mum, uncle, grandparents and a host of relatives spoiling me
i never wanted for spoiling or affection! don't be sad!
I'm sitting here happily trying to decide my third piece for the singing exam, grade 7... I still can't believe I'm on g7 already
I might do this one as a contrast to the opera aria
though I love schubert
oh this is gorgeous too

Ah don’t feel sorry for me. My Nana and Grandad raised me from 3months and I was one lucky little girl with lots of love. My real Mam (who I grew up thinking was my sister) was young and my Nana wanted her to finish her nursing so they both raised me and I grew up thinking they were my Mam and Dad until I was 12 (when they told me). I was legally adopted when I was 17
Stories about Dads make me sad in general. I suppose I'm not fully over mine being rubbish.
There's a song, Dinner at Eight, by Rufus Wainwright (who didn't get along with his Dad when he was younger, I think they might be reconciled now) that actually gets me crying every time I hear it, and it's purely the lyrics.Why is it so
That I've always been the one who must go
That I've always been the one told to flee
When it fact you were the one, long ago
Actually in the drifting white snow
You left me
So put up your fists and I'll put up mine
No running away from the scene of the crime
God's chosen a place
Somewhere near the end of the world
Somewhere near the end of our lives
But 'til then no, Daddy, don't be surprised
If I wanna see the tears in your eyes
Then I know it had to be long ago
Actually in the drifting white snow
You loved me
And on to happier subjectswatch Tangled, tis funny
Tangled is fabulous. It has one of the best female characters ever in Disney, as well as the funniest horse in history.
I'd also recommend The Princess and the Frog. It's lush, and funny and has a proper friendship between two girls. And the songs! Go, go and watch.0 -

Good parents are the shít and need to be told it everyday even if we take them for granted. I wanna be just like them when i grow up 0 -

I know, I pounced on the schubert, but I'm doing "voi che sapete" and I reckon I need some contrast!
I might just learn that one on the side. the piano part is amazing!
apparently it's a quintet and that's one of the movts, will have to look it up...
Are you with ABRSM? If so I'm guessing Schubert is the B list piece. An alternative to him might be some Beethoven or Brahms. Possibly Schumann, though some of his output from his Year of Song is quite weak.
Of course, you could change your other list pieces to fit in Schubert :P No-one else quite had the same affinity for song like he did. With the possible exception of my dear JS Bach (much love

Nope RIAM, but schubert is the B list.
It's weird, because Amarilli and Das Veilchen were on RIAM grade 6 and ABRSM grade 7.
I always went through ABRSM for my instruments & theory, and thought they were supposed to be harder!
There is not a chance in hell I'm giving up the mozart! it's OPERA! I LOVE it!!! :pac:

I didn't think RIAM had lists! They certainly didn't for piano while I was still with them anyway. Fair enough, can't say I'm a Mozart fan (blasphemy!) but his opera is pretty damn good. :P
Brahms is hit and miss, admittedly. He also kind of sucked at writing final movements. It's like he used up all his good ideas in the earlier ones and then couldn't figure out how to make a satisfying conclusion to his work :pac:
Bach is just amazing. He has no rival. I cannot think of a single weak piece of his, and I'm familiar with nearly his entire output (I had a serious Bach obsession for about 3 years). Cello Suites are beautiful. Right now I'm learning a violin partita on the flute, and the entire Well-Tempered Clavier on piano, though that'll take a damn long time :P 0 -
i was raised in a house where showing your feelings and emotions were kinda frowned upon. It was the sort of family where everything was grand and you didnt show your feelings at all so when it came to all this Father and Mothers Day shíte me and my sister just did it for the sake of it!
In fairness to my dad, although we didnt talk emotionally, he was a great dad! We didnt have much growing up but he did his best to provide for us. And even though i didnt always have the newest toys and that, i was always grateful that my dad worked so hard for what we had!
Even now he is still doing such hard work to keep our heads above the water! And i really admire him for it!!
i feel a little weepy now 0 -
I wouldn't have said I was mad into Mozart - beethoven pls - but the operas are brill!Fluorescence wrote: »I didn't think RIAM had lists! They certainly didn't for piano while I was still with them anyway. Fair enough, can't say I'm a Mozart fan (blasphemy!) but his opera is pretty damn good. :P

the flute! that's cool. Yeah, I love the suites. I've worked through the first three, mostly, and now I'm on 4. I can't see me hitting 6, it's a bit insane :pac:Bach is just amazing. He has no rival.

I wish I still had a piano, one day I will again! I miss hammering out some Rach :cool:0 -
