Domenico Zipoli

Oh 'im... yeah, I done 'im before... Jesuit... Paraguay... bla bla bla...



Talking of bla bla bla, I've encountered one of the best names ever for a lawyer, in the 3rd series of the US comedy show (brilliant it is too!) called 'Arrested Development'

Their dodgy lawyer is called Bob Loblaw.

Try saying it with an American accent....

Care to explain why it is Arne (cos it is )?

And a very happy new year to you Ammy, and to one and all, with apologies for my absence from the boards of late. Although Caliban professes yesterday to have been assiduously working, he did manage to find time to join me for a rather splendid luncheon, during which I was by turns gently chided and coaxed to return.

I believe Arne is popular with the so-called twitchers of Dorset. I have not been there myself, although I am familiar with Chesil Beach. As for Dogger Bank....not tried that yet.

Is the relation the composer Michael Arne, Thomas's son? Thankfully Wikipedia is back up and it lists all his works, although despite my probing I'm afraid I hit a barrier. Hymen?

Seven minutes! It's just not quick enough, Vinteuil.

C'mon! C'mon! Be quick with C

Good Lord, rubbers I do declare...

You have to watch old vindebourgogne, he's like greased lightning when he's a mind to it...

How was Michael Sheen's Hamlet?

Seven minutes! It's just not quick enough, Vinteuil.

C'mon! C'mon! Be quick with C

... why thank you! (the other Ettore is, of course, Bugatti... )

To use your words, "a rather splendid luncheon" awaits. And then a complicated afternoon. But I'll be dreaming of a C...

How was Michael Sheen's Hamlet?

As fine as the wine we enjoyed at lunchtime. Young and full-bodied. Perhaps the most extraordinary thing was the fact that a performance of such calibre comes so cheap. Tickets at the Young Vic cost £10. That, coupled with the fact that I wasn't charged for ANY of the drink at the restaurant bar a bottle of mineral water, made yesterday a bit of a bargain. And to delve into your kind gift of that exquisite Faure box set before retiring was the icing on the cake.
