    wow...

    I regret being out since vindetable set his most elegant puzzle
    "...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..."

          Thank you, Vinplonk. Does avanti urania mean stick your bum out?

          I have a busy day ahead. Would mercs mind kindly setting a V as his reward for finding Uranus?
          Pacta sunt servanda !!!
