So we're sat here and I've allowed Fester's music to stay on, even though I'm concentrating on tomorrow's blog.

Suddenly a bass baritone startles me, booming out of the speakers.

"Jesus! Where the fuck did he come from?"

"It's Beethoven's Ninth. It's not called the choral symphony because it's not got fucking singers."

Thank you Melvin Bragg.

All together now ....

... so like the homelife of our own dear Queen.

Sandy  Oh freundenicht diese toene!

McChurch  Yeah. Wot `e said

Drummerman Dunno, it’s all double deutsch to me...

Sandy Can't guarantee the spelling, it's what the blokey would have been singing. 

"Oh friends cease these discords" seemed appropriate for Fester somehow

MrsQuilt  Surely you mean "dopple"

Drummerman  That’s a beer!
