      Well, not a diminished one, evidently!

        Nor augmented. Nothing devilish about it.

            Did you know, by the way, that Sir Thomas Forthwangler once said that he had never conducted any Bridge but he had once travelled over one?

              Was it A Bridge Over Troubled Waters?

                Certainly on-topic are:

                Forth Bridge-related puns

                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  I agree - definitely Forth rate.

                      I don't know, although there may be trouble over Bridgwater over the Hinckley Point saga.

                        ... as Guy Gibson might have said.

                            The operas of Richard Strauss - apart from Rosenkavalier I have struggled to get on with them even Arabella.

                              I think Capriccio is even more (great) than it's cracked up to be. Pure gold.

                                I like the closing scene of Capriccio but find the subject of it like many of his operas tedious .
