      Yes written by Paul when Julian was troubled by the impact of Yoko on his young life.

        Cute! The younger Goulds will be on you for that!

        Haven't had a moment yet to address myself to your nocturnal problem. (Matron...)

                Noted. I have always managed to fail to see it, despite wanting to.

                  Oh, I know, I know, Duckie. It's that wanting .... But then something better comes along!

                    Y or Y not?

                        In fact a literary Y more than a musical Y

                          He is indeed a shameless grammatical strumpet

                          However we have neglected the puzzle. To bring it to the fore, (mutatis mutandis):

                          A Y if I must to, hopefully, link

                          Grosse Pointe Blank
                          Richard Strauss
                          Closing Time


                          In relation to the latter, I assume it would be naïf of me to think it has anything to do with the Defence of the Realm Act 1914 and its recent relaxation?

                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

                            ... while we are delighted to make the acquaintance once again of Dora - and while we are enchanted by the diaeresis on Caliboozer's naïf - we are distressed to think he imagines there can be a 'latter' of three...
