After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

A coffee cantata?
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote no operas, but this small mini comic opera is often performed staged and costumed, even if that was not the case.
It tells the story of a father and his daughter - one who is addicted to coffee.
There are essentially three roles, a tenor (the narrator) a bass (the father) and a soprano (the daughter). It's accompanied either by harpsichord or by a small chamber orchestra.
My favourite line from the narrator is translated as:
"But! That crafty little maiden!
Has quite made up her mind,
Before she gives consent to marry.
That her lover must make a solemn vow.
That she may have her coffee.
Wherever,
and whenever,
she pleases!"
Quite by chance I'll be performing the tenor role in this cantata in just under a month on Sunday April 21 at 2pm at the Butter Factory Arts centre in Coorooy.
I was asked to perform in a cantata without knowing anything about it and wasn't suggested due to my coffee connection. Nice bit of coincidence, I'll be glad if I don't stuff it up.
