    I think it may have been....

    Isn't Northampton shoes?

    Nottingham's lace... (ventured the Nottingham lad)

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

        So not a complete aberration, then...

            Terribly shameful! I went to Nottingham University.

              By jiminy, Flay has got it

              I read a review of and listened to a CD by Joseph Spooner of some of his work for 'cello & piano - not something to be liostened to right through but decent enough music

              The Mendelssohn Medal was correct and Dresden was the Flattened city and Theo Kirchner was the bloke he studied with; Kirchner being the current female Argentinian prseident, a role that even Evita did not achive.

              OK Flay, care to Tee off the new day?!

                    A hole in one, ferney!

                    Dallapiccola also wrote an opera called Job, forgive the pun.

                    I hope you are not feeling Under par. It's your turn to tee off for the second hole.

                          Rebecca Saunders doesn't seem to have written anything in 1994, according to wiki, so I guess she's out.

                          And Sebastian to Ariel - is this Shakespeare's Tempest or Mr Adès'?

                            It's funny that Saunders has the word Under in it.... ?

                              Trust not the ways of Wiki!

                              No; it aren't neither!

                                Good lord! I'd never noticed that! (That might prove useful in the future!)

                                It isn't the only thing, of course ...
