If that's how you serenaded Mrs Oven, it's perhaps no wonder the good woman works abroad....?Last edited by Nick Armstrong; 01-06-12, 09:26."...the isle is full of noises,

Well, alright... I think the F is Fortuna.
The serenade is Il sogno di Scipione, K. 126, which Mozart composed when he was 15 but was only performed it seems in 1979 in Salzburg - one of the lead roles is a character called Fortuna
The choral work is 'O Fortuna' from Carmina Burana
For the cruise, I can only think of 'Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage' can't find a Fortuna...
Yes, Costa Fortuna - a sister ship of the sunken cruise ship Costa Concordia It was all I could think of at that late hour...
Gosh, are we onto a G already? Go for it, Calibs!Pacta sunt servanda !!!

A G to link Rotterdam, Ravi Shankar and a compound of sodium carbonate, lime and silicon dioxide
I am leaving for lunch with a client around 12:30... In fact the location of my lunch inspired this question ... indeed, it's the answer!"...the isle is full of noises,

From the infamous, painfully funny and totally non-PC director Mel Brooks and his film "Blazing Saddles". This is actually the first movie fart scene ever!!...

What were the restaurants called, Anna? Nothing's too downmarket for me
I have to leave now...
I intend to have a pint or two of Cobra beer (clue!) so may be a little squiffy on my return... I shall expect to be entertained after lunch, in particular by the correct answer"...the isle is full of noises,
