I doubt whether I have the financial clout to indulge your exotic tastes at the bar Caliban!

I grabbed my Prof B. Cox Duffer's Guide to The Universe, Milky Way and Constellations, rushed out, and found ..... cloud. So, it's goodnight from me, and goodnight from him as I join Flay down't pub! No, I have to think of something imaginative to do with cous cous (part of my new healthy regime)

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives

Nope, once again. You have lost me. I thought Blazing Saddles was all about blokes, cowboys, baked beans and fart jokes. I am sure my cous cous will be absolutely delightful and full of nourishment.

ah, you have the sensible part - Gerard Wyss
the other two were a bit silly - yes to Johann David Wyss with The Swiss Family Robinson

I'll let you have Thomas Wyss, actually I was after Sophie Wyss, the dedicatee of Britten's Les Illuminations (Blackpool-sur-mer - geddit? - obviously not)
