"Siapa Nak Kerja?"

Had a rather surprisingly delightful evening (with a tone of writing that suggests my mind has affinities for the former management of these lands, but alas, lacking tea and crumpets) yesterday. We had a little do-dah in town playing for some event called Art Beat, with all sorts of arts stalls and events - played a viola duo and then jammed with a country band. For a while it seemed like Adelaide, without the monarch.

Anyhoo, the faculty and three students who went for the show adjurned to a restaurant called The Great Wall. And yes, everyone asks me, "Of China?" Anyway, it had better choices of food than choices in names, shall we say. Part of the conversation went round operatic faux pas and the like, and there was this theme of how you have to make do with whatever happens on stage - an example being the legendary Maria Callas reaching behind her for her stage dagger, and finding nothing but a banana, had no choice but to attempt killing the tenor with it. I'm still trying to find a more detailed account online, but Googling "Maria Callas kill banana" is so far only producing methods of using contraceptives. Hmm.

Now, I don't usually read, let alone forward e-mail forwards, but I did find one particularly interesting, and include it below. 'Till next time, mates, cheerio.
