                      I never been flirted with in Latin before. Nice and Exotic. Vaguely decandant and fin de siecle. But, Bit Messy, inint, declensions all over the bathroom! Amo, Amas. No, that's the bluddy bathroom Mat!
                      Sorry, getting back on topic, it's not Medusa! I hope not.

                        Annakins, heartface, answer me one thing: how do you and mercia appear to be present here and yet never show as being online? The little wossits next to your names are never green, as they are with others when online. You both appear permanently absent! Have you changed a setting somewhere??!

                            No. We want a Welsh composer who wrote The Servants with Iris Murdoch, and a work with from 1984 with a title not unlike a Latin version of Eternal Flame, and another piece "kaleidoscopic threesome".


                            Anyone know what's happened to Hustle?
