    No I wasn't but having checked I'll own up to the plural being deities - however I don't think it invalidated my clue on that lot what burst into Valhalla!

    Interesting how these boards evolve - Fucik gets a mention on the 'New World' thread - bit like buses innit!

      We are about to hit half a million views, and the thread has gone moribund. Mind you, it's a glorious day, and I have been preoccupied with throstle and spittle on another thread!

      Is Rozza around to take things Forward?

        He's not online. May I be fearfully presumptuous and propose an F?

        A sparkling prélude, a rehearsal for half a crown, and a fantasy wedding present.

                    A crowd of 12k paid 2/6 to see the rehearsal of Music for the Royal Fireworks that's a hell of a lot more than watch Hartlepool United!

                        Feu d'artifice was a wedding present, I think.

                          Yes it was, from a young Stravinsky to Rimsky-Korsakov's daughter Nadezhda and Maximilian Steinberg, who had married a few days before her father's death.

                          So we have left the prélude to the end. Any takers?

                            So all we need is a prelude from Rumpole?

                                huh?
                                "...the isle is full of noises,
                                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
