[... or perhaps you did mean Faure...

Yes, V for Victory: Victory At Sea - hardly a mini-series - the music for which was written by Richard Rodgers; Victory, an opera by Richard Rodney Bennett; and Victory Waltz, the last track from the 1996 OMD album Universal. It's hard to tell which of three elements caused the most offence, which indicates that I must have pitched it just about right.

[Anna]

I was pining, anyway, but the Faure helped. Now we must swift hide ourselves else the accent police will be upon us!

Too late! We are undone and castigated!! Flee, flee, the wrath of Vints! How do you do accents? I will willingly co-operate with the accent police if they tell me what I have to do

[vinteuil]

How do you do accents? :

there are various ways - I use the old-fashioned system of - number lock; hold ALT; then press (fr'instance) 0 2 3 3 - should give you - é

[Norfolk Born]

Anna - if you're using a PC, you can use ALT plus a code number. Try: http://usefulshortcuts.com/alt-codes...-alt-codes.php

undone and castigated

Oh... for the wings.... for the wings... of a dove

[vinteuil]

number lock; hold ALT; then press (fr'instance) 0 2 3 3

and you could try ALT plus

0224 0226 0231 0233 0232 0234 0235 0238 0239 0156 0244 0249 0251 0192 0194 0199 0200 0201 0202 0203 0206 0207 0140 0198 0241 0209 0212 0219 0171 0187 0223 0246 0252

That's the fellow. The former French Prime Minister. I find it amazing that Wikipedia completely ignores his prodigious musical output

...or you could ignore it, and hold fast with me. Together we can be strong

[Anna]

Fauré. Oh, enchanté. So, it works! But it needs me locking into number lock, gosh, never ever turned that on, I suddenly feel such a sense of liberation and freedom, to be able to effect an acute, instead of just being cute. This may be life affirming experience .......

[Nick Armstrong]

Well rubbers, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think our Caliban is rather lovely in his own way!

Thank you, Esmeralda

what I have to do

Anna I have a page of A4 which is pinned to my notice board, setting out all the shortcuts for accents. I shall try and append it to a PM as I don't think I can attach anything here

EDIT: PMs won't let me. Here are the main ones for general edification (there seem to be two 'ALT' options for most accents, save one or two):

Crikey, Caliban is willing to share his A4 page on his notice board with me .......... what more can I ask? Should I throw myself upon him and beg, beg, to be made a Ward of Chancery? He really is kindness personified, is he not? Oh, and is there a puzzle to be solved? Perhaps we should look at it before I go about strewing umlauts upon all and sundry?
