I feel distinctly plebeian in such sophisticated company. G & Ts, Pimms and the like.
I can only offer German weissebier

No no, TapiolaOriginally posted by Tapiola View Post
There should always be time for digressions, recommendations etc...
A propos, I breathed a sigh of relief when Peter poured the red wine away at the end of the week's final Corrie... I agree about the control with which he performed his revenge preparations: could have been so melodramatic and full of soap-style gurning, whereas it was all done with chilling naturalness...
By the way Anna - "P" is not about violins..."...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..."

But is the red wine wastage only a temporary blip? An immediate emotional response which he might regret tomorrow morning when he wakes up to see the empty bottle?Comment

Pimms

No offence to my esteemed friend Caliban, but I much prefer Campari and white. Delicious summer drink, though current climates dictate, chez Tapiola, the Snowbeer, or equivalent.Originally posted by Anna View Post
Casualty? We are back onto Roy Harper I fear.

Uh-oh, the Klingons are back!!!Originally posted by Pianorak View Post
only kidding... (there are rather a lot of Welsh people on this thread, I'd better watch my step.. )
And taps - I can't stand Campari... (what is the 'white' in the cocktail you mentioned?).... much as Anna can't stand Pimms. Each to his or her own... I love a nice weissebier too though!!

I seem to have betrayed my Irishness, Calibs. "White" is white lemonade, as distinguished from brown lemonade, which is, it seems a(n) (Northern) Irish thing. So Campari and white is merely Campari with (white) lemonade.Originally posted by Caliban View PostUh-oh, the Klingons are back!!!

Good morning Caliban!
I don't think anybody had actually forgotten that there WAS an unanswered question (Ive's just noticed what I've's just written). The more likely explanation for the lack of response thus far is (a) none of us knows the answer and wer'e probably hoping for a clue or two and/or (b) none of us fancies setting a 'Q' question.

Well let's think... There's a clue that I think will give it away instantly so I'll save that till later if required. For now: the musical sons in question are all composers, but the "P" you are looking for is not."...the isle is full of noises,

Well I have Handel born in Halle; Cherubini in Florence; Brahms or Mendelsohn in Hamburg; not sure about Cremona other than violin makers. Were they all Protestants?
EDIT: Monteverdi born in CremonaComment
