• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    I suck *at* speaking English. Hope you don't mind the correction D: Mon prof de français m'a rappelé que j'ai mes examens de français ce juin (une année tôt) - quelque chose que j'ai oublié complètement. Eurgh, je dois me preparer pour un examen dans lequel je dois parler pour cinq minutes. Je...

    Political Compass

    Me being as much of an ass as physically possible: My real one that I took a few weeks ago though: I was surprised at how left I'd become as opposed to my usual identifying as right-of-centre.

    DipABRSM

    You have to play the entire sonata unfortunately. And if the approx. times are professional pianists playing those pieces, so I doubt it would be appropriate to play them quicker than that. I've got a solution though: swap Op. 2 for the Moonlight Sonata (which is on the syllabus thankfully)...

    DipABRSM

    I'm taking my DipABRSM, I've decided, and today, my teacher and I decided on the pieces that I was going to take for it. Bear in mind that I have to perform for 35 minutes solid, give or take 10%. Anyway, the pieces we chose were: - Beethoven, Sonata in F Minor, Op. 2, No. 1 (app. 20 mins) -...

    J'ai dû apprendre les accents sur le clavier - je peux les faire maintenant. Normalement c'est un combination de "Alt+02+deux autres numéros", par example, pour écrire "è", on pousserait "Alt+0232". C'est une matière d'experimentation. Les écoles sont vraiment mals avec les cours de français -...

    Separation of Church and State

    The idea of the House of Lords is that of a revisory body rather than one which has any political purpose. I believe that we should leave the politics to the Commons, and leave the sober reflection to the Lords, where party ties are weaker, and there are a very large number of unallied...

    Adele

    Her new album, 21 was released the other day, so I instantly bought it. It was astoundingly good. Anybody else like Adele? For those of you who don't know what she sounds like, either YouTube her or, if you're in the UK, go here: click

    Separation of Church and State

    Well, I'm British, and I think that the Lords Spiritual should be abolished, and the Queen removed as Head of the Church of England, replaced by say the Archbishop of Canterbury. I don't like the combination of church and state we have over here. Especially the endemic amount of church primary...

    Relationships

    They're not homophobic as such, but I just don't have the balls to tell them. Especially as my crush on them culminated in writing seventeen sonnets, two Latin sapphics and a Greek epithet. I think that's classed as "creepy"
