| Yes, congratulations to all concerned. Perhaps JCFC's recent | |
| comment on the Club World Cup thread that quite often nowadays | |
| the biblical principle of "the first shall be last and the last | |
| shall be first" is enacted means that Chris Kavanagh will | |
| referee the FA Cup Final at the end of the 2025/26 season. I | |
| can't think of any more deserving recipient. | |
| For myself, I can't start getting really seriously interested in | |
| football until the Proms ( First Night this evening ) Season has | |
| concluded. | |

| The Proms, good to see you are a fan too. For me the Last Night | |
| has sadly lost something in recent years. I fondly remember the | |
| days when the wonderful charismatic James Loughran took the | |
| baton, I think on 5 occasions. Sad to see that he passed away | |
| last year. | |

| The Proms are a great institution though what Sir Henry Wood | |
| might think of some of the contemporary Proms is probably best | |
| not to speculate upon. I find the second half of the Last Night | |
| a bit too like pantomime for my taste but it's a grand | |
| tradition. Thinking of yesteryear, the formidable Constance | |
| Shacklock singing Rule Britannia, once heard and never | |
| forgotten. | |

| I am no expert on classical music (or refereeing, many would | |
| add) but Mrs Leggy and I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening at | |
| the Royal Albert Hall last night. We were entertained by an | |
| excellent Trumpeter before the interval and The Liverpool Phil | |
| did a superb job of bringing Dvorak's 9th to life. It was | |
| introduced to me via a certain TV advert for bread but I have | |
| come to love the entire piece. For those interested, last | |
| night's Prom is on BBC4 tonight - thoroughly recommended. | |

| From The New World has long been one of my favourites of the | |
| concert repertoire. Thank you for your recommendation, I shall | |
| endeavour to hear it on 'catch up' or whatever it's called. | |
| The Hovis advert sticks in many of our memories. Purportedly set | |
| somewhere 'up North' ( or so the accent of the commentary would | |
| have us believe ) it was a Czech composer's American inspired | |
| tune filmed in Shaftesbury, Dorset. Picture and sound can make | |
| you believe almost anything. | |
