Hooting Yard: Advice Regarding Eggs.

When the rest of the family returns from the pantry, each in turn must use skill, judgement, and knowledge of ship construction to declare whether the parlour is now a poop deck or an orlop deck. Those who decide correctly are treated to a “feast at the captain’s table”, that is, they are each allowed to go back to the pantry and choose a snack from among the snack items on the pantry shelves. Those who decide incorrectly are “tossed into the sea”, that is, they must clamber out of the open window and wait shivering in the garden until the next round.

The Opera Hour – series 2/episode 14

Opera singer Richard Scott explores opera through the prism of various themes.

Today’s guests are Daisy Evans and the team behind Silent Opera, who talk about their new production of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo at Trinty Buoy Wharf in Docklands which involves wearing headphones and experiencing opera in a rather intimate fashion, not unlike a silent disco. Plus the continued fascination with the Orpheus myth and if opera audiences really are getting younger.

Hooting Yard: Charging Ostrich of Fire.

Against this, one could argue two things. If the cage was constructed from flimsy materials, it might be that the burgeoning ostrich would simply cause the birdcage to fall to bits around it as it expanded in size from budgerigar or canary to full ostrichdom. Or, bear in mind that Blakeston specifically describes an ostrich of fire. Would not the enflamed and blazing bird burn the cage to cinders as it underwent its transformation?

This episode was recorded on the 10th of November 2011. A complete transcript of this episode can be found on Frank Key’s Hooting Yard website.
