        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  Has David got the hiccups or are the hiccups in the hotel?

                      You mean like my heavily punctuated question?

                        Logging off in about ten minutes if anyone wants to suggest a solution before then.

                        Otherwise we'll have to see if the Night Shift can finnish things off.
                        Just catching up on the day's happenings. I was wracking the brains late last night with Barbarossa but missed that cunning clue. Curses!

                          blimey, this is all a bit esoteric isn't it

                          Guillaume+Hotel is giving me a poem by Guillaume Apollinaire, 'Hotel', part/all(?) of which set by Poulenc in his Banalites ???

                              It was scb really, but if the cap fits, but your clarification was exemplary even if I still haven't a clue.

                                Ésotérique? Moi?

                                Mercia, your early night has done you good

                                Your powers are undimmed

                                The G is indeed Guillaume !

                                Yes to "David Hoquetus" by Guillaume de Machaut
                                Yes to "Hotel" by Guillaume Apollinaire as set by Poulenc.

                                Now which Guillaume for the "Homme Armé" Mass?
