I've been reading up the guardian's blurb associated with that name. I won't comment other than to say I would question her nationality before questioning her sexuality.

Of course, I am doing neither, you brought the name up.

Eh? She's conducting the performance - what have her nationality or sexuality have to do with it?

[SpondonBassed]

Indeed.

PS. I had never heard the name before you mentioned her. This was on page one of my search results. HTH.

Maybe I'm missing something here but it seems a storm in a teacup ? Driven perhaps by an unintentional pun on "come"...

I find it really hard to believe that in 2016, educated people can come out with this kind of comment. You really think this way, REALLY!!!

[SpondonBassed]

Think what way? I am just quoting from the Guardian.

[bigd1]

I would have thought you can read your comment for yourself, no further explanation should be needed.

[SpondonBassed]

Still not sure what you mean but as long as you are happy.
