    Actually the versatile pig is providing the Rolls today: our canteen has roast pork baps complete with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce. Very nice. In fact, I can feel another coming on...

    Fhg makes a very good point. I've sent the Sergeant-at-Arms out to arraign Norfy and fear I can make no more progress till he spills a bean or two.

        Yup, nice canteen, good chef... He's particularly good at roast meats (and curries on Thursdays )... even an outpost of Costa coffee where they know how I like my latte with an extra shot and not too much milk

            A "much more famous composer" such as Rossini, perhaps, who invented/had named after him Rossini Tournados.
            Which reminds me of the track Tornado from the Yellow Shark album by said former Czech Minister of Culture?

            EDIT: "Advisor" rather than actual "Minister". Got a bit carried away, there!

                Just back from celebratory anniversary lunch! The first of our three composers was born in a city named after a Baron, the second (the only lady involved) in a city known for its Dolphins, and the third in a city that's most of a codebreaker. The very famous fourth composer was born in Germany.

                  *Cross-posted with the formerly errant and celebratory NB. Congratulations!
