              Oh Bless! I was never much good at geometry, never could tell a polygon from me Archimedes' twin circles ... but (to assist others) was I totally wrong with a non-European composer?

                        A very lame clue, the Vapors were turning Japanese, as I thought the composer was! Oh well, proves I am totally wrong ... as usual. I shall gracefully withdraw.

                            Huh?! Why?! Japanese may well be right.... but what has that got to do with Vapours? or the Vapors
