Alphabet associations - I

[vinteuil]

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?

there is indeed:

and so, sneakily, - for a change - inspired by ofca - a totally unmusical round:

What W might connect

an unmusical Pygmalion
an unmusical Ring
an unmusical Ode
some unmusical Songs

So your, Alt+130 also results in Enchanté Wow! How can that be, obviously some magic is afoot or I am impossibly dim and should not be allowed on the internet without a Chaperone and vast supplies of sal volatile! And, I suppose you want me to cut and paste your workings into a Word document? Oh, you are a hard taskmaster. <swoon>

Ignore all this, solve Vints puzzle, please

Yes I always use the three digit 'ALT' codes. I have no idea why there are two options for most accents.

Depends on what side of the river you were born! That matters quite a lot, when it comes to Offas's Dyke.

Now: to paraphrase Vints (if that is possible) and can we be sensible? And I am off now.

Why don't you simply hold down the "Alt Gr" key while pressing your vowel á é í ó ú?

Mind you I find "Alt" 171 useful at work = ½. Then there's 13 = ♪ and 14 = ♫

Alt Gr is a new one! Enchanté... But not much use for others... ç... è... ©... ™.... ® or Spanish action such as ¿

If I did that, I would land up in the cast of Casuality, as a victim!

And I would be there with my stethoscope.... Now just lift up your top, nice big breaths...

NO, because I would ask for a second opinion, I know my rights under the NHS. Now, can you boys think about vints puzzle and forget about this sexist nonsense?

OK then. Chastised (for the second time today). A silent performance of The Ring? http://www.lizglynn.net/portfolio/basement-wagner Strange

... and just to remind you - this puzzle has nothing to do with music.

Further hints available on request.

EDIT Further hints...

... such as: 1823; 1855; 1807; 1794.

I'm really looking forward to Frank Foster's trial, which starts next week. He could easily be mistaken for Alan Shearer under less than ideal lighting conditions (not that AS would get involved with the like of Carla).

This message has nothing to do with music.
