    Yes, I'm still not sure what this is all about. I rather suspect it was recently triggered off by Ammy's uncensored account of the Coral Browne taxicab episode

    But then again my 'Roger Wright' joke on the Proms thread seemed to slip under the wire, unnoticed....

      Yes you did well.

      Frenchie was moved yesterday to issue a guidance note, Attorney-General style... and then raised the idea of robotic assistance: http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...958#post152958

      It's sort of caught on as a concept

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

            is this person alive or dead?

            (if the latter, was his death as the result of an accident ?)

              I never stoop’d so low, as they
              Which on an eye, cheek, lip can prey.
              Seldom to them, which soar no higher
              Than virtue or the mind to admire.
              For sense, and understanding may
              Know what gives fuel to their fire:

                has this anything remotely to do with Arvo Part ?

                  I repeat #18154 above...

                  And to respond to your other question, this person is definitely dead. As far as I know, it was not an accident but illness/old age.

                    is "magnification" an allusion to a magnificat ?

                    should "morning star" be translated into German ?

                          Yes to both.

                          Don't go, mercs!

                            I guess mercia did retire, quite understandably...

                            Anyone want a clue?

                              Is E T A Hoffmann involved?
