I think it's had just the one outing - praps frenchie's having problems finding the replacement batteries ... or has it been requisitioned for Jubbly duties?

It's a real tickler, ammy!

No, frankly, it's not that, it's blokes sticking together; and cutting out any femalesl Goodnight

Oh dear!

O Lord - you're not dragging Mr Dentressangle in here again are you!?

Could the wobbly first be Herr Brainin - first violin of the Amadeus... Did he have a pronounced vibrato?

Forgotten the flippin' question... Hang on...

Ah! Ahem... yes... Schumann's mate...

Well it's this cove I suspect:

Robert Schumann, who arranged for the posthumous publication of Burgmüller's two symphonies, and completed the orchestration of the scherzo of the unfinished Symphony No. 2, wrote in a memorial notice that no death was more deplorable than that of Norbert Burgmüller since the early death of Franz Schubert.

One Hundred and EIGHTY!!!

Bravo Caliban!

Over to you for an exceptional O, svp

Or shall we have a break?

[amateur51]

On reflection, I am going to take the bulk of today's Guardian to bed & have an early night

Nighty night

[Nick Armstrong]

So for Anna's Law purposes:

- a wobbly first: Norbert Brainin, first violin of the Amadeus Quartet
- a composer much-admired by Robert Schumann: Norbert Bergmüller
- and a song sung by Connie and Amanda and some husky Cherman voman: Norbert Schultze's "Lili Marleen"

I shall be back by and by with an O for the night shift.

[Nick Armstrong]

Ten percussionists, spoken word performers and doubtless some garbagemen were Knaackered by this O
