The Count of Luxembourg is an operetta in two acts with English lyrics and libretto by Basil Hood and Adrian Ross, music by Franz Lehár, based on Lehár's three-act German operetta Der Graf von Luxemburg which had premiered in Vienna in 1909. Lehár made amendments to his Viennese score to accommodate the two-act adaptation. He also interpolated into the score three new pieces: a waltz that he had written for a commemorative performance of Der Graf in Vienna; a song from his first operetta, Wiener Frauen; and a Russian dance from the opera Tatjana.
The original production opened at Daly's Theatre in London in 1911 and ran for 345 performances, starring Lily Elsie, Huntley Wright, W. H. Berry and Bertram Wallis. It was followed by a UK tour and also had a good run at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York in 1912 with the libretto further adapted by Glen MacDonaugh. It played in Australia in 1913. Adaptations included a 1967 BBC television production and an American silent film version made in 1926. A new English language adaptation of Der Graf von Luxemburg, more closely following the original score and libretto, was produced under the name The Count of Luxembourg and recorded by New Sadler's Wells Opera in 1983 and toured by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1997.
Saw the Counting Crows perform in Dallas last night & all I can say is PHENOMENAL! This was the 5th time I've seen them live & it very well could be the best performance thus far. I look forward to many more. Here they are singing the song Miami from the Hard Candy album.

Species count goes up!
A small catch but with a superb variety of moths. 5 new for years is nothing to complain about and nor is two new for gardens either. Considering the cool conditions again this morning it was a surprise to say the least!
The next few days are set to stay unsettled with sunshine and showers being the flavour of the week.
Lets all hope we can get the traps out despite the weather forecasters trying to poo poo us with threats of rain...back of Mr Fish :)

Arthur was locked up in a Dalek prison cell awaiting extermination. There he met a fellow inmate, who introduced himself as Count Scarlioni. “How long have we known each other?” Count Scarlioni asked Arthur after 3 and a half minutes. “5 minutes. Maybe 6. Most of it seemed to make some kind of sense,” said Arthur, who wasn’t very good at keeping time. “How would you react if I said I wasn’t really a human who dressed like he was on his way to a disco, but was in fact Scaroth… last of the Jagaroth?” Arthur thought for a moment, and then finally admitted, “I really wouldn’t care at this point.”

The saying "Don't count your funnels before they are hatched" is a humorous twist on the more common proverb "Don't count your chickens before they are hatched". The original proverb means that you should not assume that something will happen or that you will get something before it actually happens or you actually get it. For example, if you are expecting a bonus from your boss, you should not spend it before you receive it, because there is a chance that you might not get it at all. The modified proverb replaces chickens with funnels, which are devices used to pour liquids or powders into containers. Funnels do not hatch from eggs, so the saying is absurd and funny. It implies that someone is being very foolish and unrealistic about their expectations. For example, if you are hoping to win the lottery, you might be counting your funnels before they are hatched, because the odds of winning are very low and you have no guarantee of getting any money.
