    Then I guess you'll be delighted at this snippet from yesterday's Links: "Benedicte Bemet will star as Aurora in the Australian Ballet's 2017 production of The Sleeping Beauty" from http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/stage/australian-ballet-launches-2017-season-with-three-iconic-roles-for-women-20160926-grp6kc.html

    Oh, and just a reminder that Vadim Muntagirov is talking to the Ballet Association this evening

    I often find that where you are in the theatre tends to have a bearing on things like that. Front amphi for me.

    Can I just say, Paul Kay's Alain nearly broke my heart this evening?

    Clearly doesn't like Chrome. I've now entered both codes and now get 404 errors on Chrome. Yet when I try either on Firefox it works fine :shrug:

    Going really off-tangent from the previous post, but I remember when we were in our late teens that one friend had parents who were totally cool about boyfriends staying overnight, even - I don't know about the alcohol side, but then people back then didn't tend to drink as heavily as some do now. Everyone else was of course really envious. It was only years later that the friend admitted that she, in turn, had been envious of those of us whose parents didn't allow such behaviour, because at least it showed that they cared. Things have changed a lot since then, of course ...

    Dancers often seem to be perfectly happy to link to videos which they feel are beneficial to them in some way, regardless of provenance. It tends to be rights holders and people who run the sites who are more sensitive to such things.

    Depends what they've been doing to it over the summer, I guess

    How weird. Perhaps it doesn't like Chrome? Thanks, Timmie.

    No, it probably wasn't , but I've moved it to this one, which seems more suitable. (Clicking on the "television" tab on the original post might well have brought this one up)

    83 posts before a run has even started must be getting to be some sort of record, surely?

    Even with ticket sales not being particularly good, I'm sure somebody will be going
  13. alison
    Although the NYT did indicate that there might have been a feeling of deja vu with this one?

    Could somebody else try and see if they can get it to work, please? Neither upper-case nor lower-case works for me. Not much good forwarding a link to friends if it doesn't work
  18. alison
    But I can't get ^that^ one to work either

    I got 6/15 too. I don't know what it says about me that I "recognised" more of the ones I don't eat than the ones I do, though Apart from the fact that they've obviously roughened up Crunchie bars since the last time I ate them - I'm sure they used to be completely smooth.
  21. alison
    That link's not working for me either
  22. alison
    Presumably because it's not a matinee. Odd that there are so many for Sleeping Beauty, yet so few for Fille.
  23. alison
    Well, that's my two gone for the week. I was hardly going to pass up on an in-depth interview with Bruce Springsteen now, was I?
  24. alison
    That's the matinee one, isn't it?
  25. alison
    Not sure I've eaten a box of QS since they were introduced, actually, so I'm not familiar with this one, only the others which used to stick to your teeth and palate and be a right pain to get off!
