A lovely old barge from the days when Merc did simple, high grade designs which were well made. By the time I bought my only Merc, in 2007, they produced low grade fittings, badly constructed and unreliable. The worst car I have owned. They monetise a reputation created decades ago.

This old post from accounting firm RSM deserves more attention. Many internet businesses give awards to "white hat hackers" who find bugs/exploits in their code. But, in the UK, these awards are likely taxable. HMRC should publish guidance.

It’s a bumper crop of composers ‘born today’; so I’m going to pick two. My favourite - Schubert, whose Entracte No.3 from Rosamunde is just one enchanting example of his output. The other is Benjamin Frankel, whose symphonies are rarely played, but ought to be well known. youtu.be/scqKOBrskWk?...

Premiered #OTD in 1971, the 32nd & final symphony by Havergal Brian. Leslie Head conducted Kensington SO at St John's Smith Sq. Brian wrote 25 of his 32 symphs after age of 70. No 32 completed in 1968, aged 92 & proved to be the last music he penned. open.spotify.com/track/3aUtjG... #britsymphyear

Really sorry to see these awful rumours about Cardiff. Thinking about friends in their Music department. I hope there can be a swift pushback and that their leadership will listen to alternative proposals. nation.cymru/news/huge-jo...
