OI!!! ULTRAVox - JOKE - not "Ultra" - witty suggestion for an answer to the V puzzle - suggesting a link in Pulcie's mind between "Ultra" and "Vienna".

I an disappointed that you didn't see the humour, and leapt to the conclusion that I was unhelpfully taking the piss; what in our "communications" on this Forum could have led you to think I was being unpleasant?

You've made me VERY upset with your comments.

I am sorry you are upset as that wasn't my intention. With my neutral hat on, I'd like to congratulate the person who set the question. I thought it was really excellent, especially as it wasn't accompanied by pictures. In my mind, Roslynmuse pops in to get ideas because she is a contestant on Round Britain Quiz and while she probably isn't such a contestant, there is always there a sense of inspiration. I get the Ultravox joke now and obviously I did appreciate it. And it should have been No 1 at the time rather than "Shaddup Ya Face".

And taken in that spirit; thank you.
At one point, I thought that we had to take the letters of all three parts, jumble them up (excite them) and end up with a rhythmic (then we went percussive) masterpiece, such as Bartok's Music for SPC or Jimmy Mac's Veni Veni (and I couldn't think of anything beginning with U).

Ah, good - thank you very much.

Always surprised me that a Scottish artist would wish to be known as "Midge" - doesn't he want people to have picnics near him?

But, I overreacted - I'd had presumed Lats would have known that I never intend to be unpleasant to him, and just thought he'd see the pun. My apologies to him.

It reminds me of a question I asked many years ago!

Did you know that the reason he is called Midge? He is actually called Jim but when he joined the band there was a Jim already there, so they turned his name round so I suppose really it should be Mij and not Midge.

_ I didn't know this.

One Otto was on holiday, and another Otto was roaming around the trees and some water, while Franz was also travelling around nearby but looking at different trees and water.
What V do they have in common?

Just thought it was worth 'bumping' the V!

Are the three named characters composers?

[vinteuil]

Are the three named characters composers?

... are they Germanically "Otto" or Italianately eight?

[ ... or of course Brazilian : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_(singer) ]

[Pulcinella]

Are the three named characters composers?

Two are composers, and one is a character; both Ottos are abbreviated forms of their longer names.

... are they Germanically "Otto" or Italianately eight?

I hope the reply to ferney's query answers yours too; but all the Vs are in Italy.

Perhaps 'nearby' would be better as 'in the same country' (viz., Italy, since I've given a clue).

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

So ... might "Franz" also answer to "Ferencz"? And would he be playing in these waters?

Yes he might, and actually 'nearby' the two Ottos is a fair description after all.
