Reeling at the overnight goings on here, and the arrival without warning of Soorjo Alexander William Langobard Oliphant Chuckerbutty (1884–1960) of whom I had never heard and whose name almost made me choke on my pre-breakfast gin His surname isn't so mad when you think of his Indian forebears and remember the Chakrabartis... but it still sounds like one of Ken Dodd's more eccentric creations... Right up there with Fredegond Shove

Fertile nocturnal exchanges in any case!

Re P one thinks instantly of Handel but I can't make it fit with anything secret...

Do you mind, this is a serious message board with serious business to do. We have poor Roland splitting his temples playing his olifant (a cautionary tale for any brass musician ), and you sir are mocking poor Soorjo...
