Alex and I are singing in the chorus of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Grand Duke. The performance is next Wednesday, 18 June, at 1pm, in Queens' College Chapel. (Unfortunately that's the only performance. Yes, I know, but it's a student society and weekday afternoons are as good as weekends and evenings to them.)

"Telling the story of a humble actor who decides to take over the world and ends up with four wives in the process, with the help of sausage rolls, statutory duels and the game of roulette, "The Grand Duke" is definitely not to be missed!" - Cambridge Uni G&S Society website.

By the mystic regulation of our dark Association
Ere you open conversation with another kindred soul
You must eat a sausage roll.
You must eat a sausage roll, a sausage roll.
If in turn he eats another, that's a sign that he's a brother
Each may fully trust the other - it is quaint and it is droll,
But it's bilious on the whole,
Very bilious, very bilious on the whole.

Come and see the show! It's lots of fun!
