      If you pop back to posts round about #20920 you will discover that Enos were invented by Thomas Beecham (1820–1907), a chemist and grandfather of Sir Thomas Beecham



      It was Beef's first attempt at AA

            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                          Spanish novel featuring a rogue = picaresque.
                          Bax wrote an Overture to a Picaresque Comedy....
                          EDIT: Martinu composed an opera called Comedy On the Bridge
