        And anton's seems admirably clear... not that for the moment I have a clue as to the solution!

          Second the motion.

          Plus I'd appreciate swifter application of more generous clues ... but being a lightweight (like Caliban? - surely not ) I would, wouldn't I

          Just a thought ... well several actually

                I came up with something Caliban must have been doing in his spare time... "La vie est une truite arc-en-ciel qui nage dans mon coeur"

                  are those potatoes you've accidentally put into the washing machine instead of the saucepan ?
                  I'm always doing that

                    See what's happening? A simple solution, and I'm scaling heights in Milan (and lows in Vernet-les-Bains).

                    Spill the beans, mercs.

                        Strangely, I'm enjoying Cali's music, but I cannot really see this video featuring on Top of the Pops...

                        Music video by Cali performing Je te veux maintenant. (P) 2011 EMI Music France / BCBA les éditions de Mireille

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