    Adolphe, Hector and Joe Green getting all piratical
    Corsairs!

    A Adam - ballet
    H Berlioz - overture
    G Verdi - opera "Il Corsaro"
    "...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 she did learn how to lie. I'm really starting to like her. I think I may, although I would love to have a go at mercia's C, actually watch episode 6 once I've decided what to cook tonight, I have some genuine French merguez which I think are appealling Edit: Blimey, blink and I've missed the C, Caliban is ablaze today!

              Not as hot as your merguez, I hope...

              That bedside scene was marvellous.

              And like you I was sad about Anja. I found her entrancing, what a face!!

              By the way, I am a merguez fanatic, if you have any left over this evening...

                Yes, Anja had a lovely face but there is no way you are getting your hands on my merguez!! I have a friend who goes to France to visit family, he often brings me back little goodies, so that's tonight's meal sorted, with your endorsement, and I will be back at The Bridge shortly.

                          You're not looking for any foreign names...

                          Any other clues required? I seem to have put the brakes on after a speedy day

                            It's the way you set 'em.

                            Are we looking for a British name?
