        ... well, adjacent Savonlinna has been, since 2000, home of the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship - which is probably not as relevant as I might hope...

                    Hello hedgey! I'd been idly thinking of helping out but hadn't thought of an N...

                    Nothing to do with Rameau?
                    "...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..."

                      That's right, nothing to do with him!

                                It must've been hell in the Sanderson Fagan household if Sybil was an early riser - now where's my Purdey?
