        May I thank people for their kind comments - I'll try to maintain standards without losing my broadband connection in the process!

          Not gone yet But thank you

          And since we shall be living the dolce vita in Rome for some of the time, and the MacBook Pro is coming with, you may not know I'm gone...

          Departure tomorrow. Shall I try and rustle up a quick O?

          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Aha, you are off to Rome, I reckon your O would be .......... The Oceanids (Although it's all Greek to me!!) And I am now offline.

              O !!

              I have a feeling I may have set this O before but anyway, here goes: I am at work with my mistress who has no name...

                      Mercia you are like unto an avenging angel.

                      Well it wasn't quite the same...

                      Well done!

                      In the immortal words of Capn. Mainwaring: "I wondered which of you would spot that one! ahem..."

                      Over to you to P off, mercs! I must bow out for a day or so.

                        on that previous occasion you were called a rude name by your chum the rubber, but I guess you were expecting that - bon voyage [or the Italian equivalent] caliban

                        I can't match the crypticosity of O

                              remember Q can be omitted

                                I wasn't trying to dodge the Q, it's just that at that point I had just one element, whereas I now have two:
                                The typewriter features in Satie's 'Parade' and the Parade of the Tin Soldiers was written by Leon Jessel. Still thinking about the third part.
