I suppose at a push you can mentally impose an artificial 6/8 over it, but you still wouldn't feel that in triple time. And you would be wrong to do so. By jove I think you've cracked it! I listened only to the intro of that after searching 'funeral waltz'. Never heard it all the way through, as on that video version but listened again complete and well spotted on the "artificial 6/8" time, I think that's where I picked up on the 3/4 thing. Spot on. Drummers eh..? 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOMG sadly care more for their civil servants than they do for businesses, tradespeople or anyone providing goods or services. Turkeys do not vote for Christmas.

I wouldn't be travelling abroad right now because I wouldn't trust other countries to not pull the drawbridge up. On the IOM, though, the messaging has been sensible. If people want to be spooked by media on the adjacent island, or listen to their imbecilic leaders (Drakeford in Wales being the worst), then what can you do? That's not to say business shouldn't get help, but this isn't on IOMG. So where is the help meant to come from? If nothing else IOMG should cut all the virtue signalling projects before borrowing more money to maintain the lifestyle they are accustomed to.

I heard 2 people talking this morning that they cancelled going to their work Christmas party as it was to risky. Now the Government may be acting sensibly with advice on this occasion but it's the last 2 years people have in their minds It's too risky becasue no-one wants to self-isolate for 10 days over holiday period with a positive test for something that might not even present symptoms. As most employers would insist staff take an LFT test before the gathering because they are being responsible/ass covering. Even if you lose your deposit, it is far cheaper than having half your staff self-isolating and presumably claiming sick-pay to comply with the government mandate. Maybe we just stop testing altogether and just let healthcare deal with it like every other winter spike. In fact they are probabaly better prepared than they have ever been with multi-vaccinated staff and public, new oxygen plant and hygiene protocols and supplies in place.

ManxTaxPayer Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I'm welling up here thinking of our old gran's send off up at the crem. As the curtains closed we all had a very emotional pushing of the pineapple with the Funeral Agadoo as the undertaker Funeral Moonwalked out of the side door. It's what she would have wanted. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hey, don't blame me! All I did was search for `funeral waltz' as a slightly humorous response in relation to a previous post about doom music for the TT. That vid popped up, I listened to less than 30 seconds of it and posted it. Blimey. 🤭 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
