That's because learning an instrument takes years, involves giving up huge portions of your social life and, all too often, involves undue physical pain. One tends to accept the skill involved.


You can say the same for great artists, though, and even the most egotistic art student doesn't tend to think very highly of their work.

In fact, even for athletes and the like. It's something that tends to be part of the musical spirit - I assume because music necessitates being a bit prideful about what you can do. There is no gatekeeper like there is for the art world or athletics.

They weren't shown as often, and they've stopped doing them now. Adverts should be clever, but most use the same tired old formula that's been around for a decade.

Hola from the Savoy:

I've seen worse TV ads: adverts styled to work like musicals, and that annoying character who did the Lombard Direct advert: it was a telephone but I don't remember his name, but his voice was so tabloid.

Dr Who was having a period from his arse?

Christ, I certainly hope this remains a lost episode.

I assumed the period was misplaced, considering one did not exist at the end of the word "fuck".

You'll smell it before you see it.
You'll wake up in the middle of the night, knowing something is wrong.
Then your bedroom door will slowly creak open.
And you'll hear them flopping across the floor.
