    I confess to it - I left without saying goodbye & faretheewell.

    I was only offering William Alwyn as the composer of Derby Day and nowt else so others may have a firmer case to make

      Did my spies get it right then - Academy then Pub?!

      No two ways, Ammy: you are the Al-winner of a healthy bouncing B

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

        A right rattling concert of Britten: Serenade for Tenor, Horn & strings and then Mahler: Ruckert Lieder (pardon my umlaut). Then a pint of IPA from near the River Stour but there are several - rivers that is

        Gissa mo & I'll return with a B - would it be ok if I use the cyrillic alphabet?

            Relatively straight-forward as I have been soooo dilatory .....

            What B, American resident musician but world traveller, would have possibly preferred a Havana but is known to have preferred an SD-10 and died a mysterious death?

                    Legal stuff (wish it were illegal stuff!) Beneficiaries, Mendicants, Recidivists, Land Registry, Will Writing Firms, Hailstones and Plagues of Locusts!! Also, the Rubbers Recommended Rioja from the Co-Op is no longer obtainable, he has snaffled the lot it seems ..........

                      Oh Lord... Hate all that legal stuff... I try to keep it to a minimum too

                      Your list of afflictions reminds me of that list of ne'er-do-wells in "Blazing Saddles" - remember it?

                      rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists



                      See, your Friday could be worse! Good luck, heartface.

                            Funnily enough, not one hornswoggler nor a Methodist, all the rest are there! Thanks, Caliban, you have cheered me up with that! Yes, and so typical of Rubbers to recommend Rioja reduced from £9.99 to £4.99 after he's bought the entire stock!

                              But as I trust Ams more than anyone we had William Alwyn

                              Born in Cobblerville
                              Son as opposed to Daughter of a Grocer and
                              Composer of Derby Day inspired by Firth/Frith and The Derby Day.

                              B prepared for/by Am!
                              That was the missing bit!
