Gloria will arrive unannounced in Weatherfield

How can she arrive unannounced when they have just.... ???

Yes, welcome back Calibs . No sign of Anna yet this week.

Any thoughts on our current conundrum? I bet you remember the poem well.....

Anything to do with Alice?

[Flay]

No, who ..... is Alice? Have you tried a google of certain key words provided?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

I want a poem,
Mother's vexed!

Eee, I am ... !

Of course! The Lion and Albert "by" Stanley Holloway*.

Song?

Albert Herring


* = EDIT Actually, one Marriott Herbert err ... erratum: Edgar!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Bigger! No; you said t'Opera weren't English!!!

Song?

Albert Herring


* = EDIT Actually, one Marriott Herbert err ... erratum: Edgar!

yes, Albert and Lion!

So now for the others? Not Herring etc. A bit more googling is called for. And later we'll all have the bloomin' song in our heads....

Correct, mein Freund, as I implied, it is German....

Giving it away, now, Flay: Eugen d'Albert?

Who wrote an opera called Mr Wu, which might suggest another Music Hall artiste, but I can't find an opera based on Lion(s)?

... and as for this song ...

And who wrote a libretto for an opera about an animated anthropomorphic being for Mr d'Albert?

The song was thought of on a whim, I won't give it away!

Point of order, that's a monologue, not a poem!

And is he a window cleaner now?

That's the least of your worries! Do you want me to set another A?

Tell you what, Flay, since I joined this fun/mad board, I've not had this grief before - then perhaps it's early days!
