Exaltation and Orgy are two of Turina's Danzas Fantasticas for piano. Might the dream be the Fantasy from the same opus?

Do you mean the movement called in Spanish Ensueño ?

[Anna]

Maybe you haven't knocked on enough front doors?

Maybe they saw me coming up the garden path and hid? Oh, I dismissed Turina. Never mind, well done Northender. And, programme alert: Twenty-Twelve is on tonight 10pm

Yes - I think you may have chosen the first three dances, yes?

It's all good

I never knew Hugh Bonneville could be a comic actor!! Ahem. As you were, continue solving the puzzle.

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes - I think you may have chosen the first three dances, yes?

I actually thought there were only three

Perhaps that's just the orchestral version.

So: yes, Northo

Joaquín Turina - Danzas fantásticas

I had visions of twitching net curtains and trembling aspidistras!

Like, totally!!

The almost supernaturally-awful Siobhan Sharpe has her own Twitter page, amusingly: https://twitter.com/perfect_siobhan

Brilliant work from Jessica Hynes, as well as Mr Bonneville

EDIT: he also has a Twitter account in his own name, which is fun too, e.g. re: tonight -

Hugh Bonneville @hughbon
In an attempt to reduce or in some ways maximise confusionality, the UK tx of #TwentyTwelve's final eps is now Tues 10 July (not Mon 9)

[Northender]

New York (upstate), Virginia, North Carolina, Hawaii, and 'U' (simultaneously). What and where is 'U'?

I deny All Knowledge of Gordon Comstock!!

That means I am less than half. I think

Never 'eard of 'im

(No google-based pretence for me )

Care to elucidate?

George Orwell, one of my favourite authors. Keep the Aspidistra Flying. 1930s London. Gordon Comstock's romantic ambition to defy worship of the money-god and status, and the dismal life that results. He has to trim his shirt cuffs with nail scissors and is a dismal failure, particularly with his girlfriend on a disastrous outing to Burnham Beeches and never has change for the gas meter. He is a literary failure because he is poor. His slim volume of poetry was called Mice.
Cannot believe you have never read Orwell?

I have but not that. Shameful, since my dad (English lit teacher) was often referring to the aspidistras in neighbours' and his mother's front windows. And I had an inkling after my post above...

I read that "As the book closes, Gordon wins an argument with Rosemary to install an aspidistra in their new small but comfortable flat off the Edgware Road."

Pearl Habour and Virginia Class submarins called Carolina and a guy from NY state...
