Check the title of the Michael Norris Piece.
Might even be worth listening to ?

Oops! Misread it as Michael Nyman.


Never heard of Michael Norris.

Me neither. Until now.

... not even at the races here ....

Nor here. Still, as a result of my endeavours, I am more confident than I was before that no composer has ever set the poetry of Salvatore Quasimodo in a First Symphony that (like Bruckner) s/he "wrote twice".

And you never know when that knowledge might come in useful.

The earliest that I can offer will be tomorrow evening, so I would be happy for teamsaint to chip in before then.

sorry, work, work work.

as you can tell....

although , actually I am at work today, honest guv.

Awesome Q and believe me I've been in plenty of those ... not even at the races here ....

Thanks, I think!
Hope it wasn't too abstruse.
Given the paucity of words beginning with q, I had thought that the 'moonlight' hint would lead to quasi a little sooner than it did.

Indeed!
Or eek!
Like the knowledge of how to include a second quote in a posting. I know I've been told once, but.....
So I used copy and paste instead!

oh , I always think it's the taking part that matters , not the winning..... as the nicer PE teachers used to say.

these days , olympic athletes say things like " Our job is to go out there and bring back medals",in a predictably pragmatic and disappointing way.

ok, a bit off topic, really...

Well said ts .... we await the return of subs .....

If you're just adding one extra quotation, copy & paste is fine, but you might like to click on the "Wrap [QUOTE] tags around selected text" icon first: that's the "speech bubble" icon at the far right of the icon bar at the top of the "reply" ... erm ... space. (The bar that lets you put text in bold or italics or add a smiley ... )

... isn't the trending idiom - "Our job is to go out there and medal" ?

Sadly, you can't use the [QUOTE] "wrap" around a quotation that includes the word "quote" in capital letters and in square brackets!

Was this quoted from my now deleted post (which went wrong and looked like this) or did the same thing happen to you?
Even more off topic; sorry.

Pulcers, I'm gradually getting there with multi quotes, but it is taking time.

One of the things you need to do is highlight separate parts of a post, and on each of those highlighted sections click the little speech bubble icon.
