The Last Knight of the Proms? Sir Roger
Norrington, 2008. Who better to ask about
whether to drop Land of Hope and Glory
and Rule, Britannia!...

Donald Trump: well below par in office, well
above par on the golf course. Would that it
were different. (Family motto: 'play a lot of
balls, talk a lot of balls')

ABRIDGE TOO FAR - leave out important bits.
...(Vincent Hefter, Daily Mail, August 25)

Who agrees with Rule, Britannia! and Land of
Hope and Glory being performed without lyrics
at the Last Night of the Proms? I'm pretty sure
Sir Henry Woodn't...

Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)
