    Just element 2 left to get - and then the "N" which unites them.

    I'll be offline for an hour or so now...

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

      It was covered in the news last month - poor old Riccardo Muti fainted and fell face-first off the podium while conducting a Chicago Symphony rehearsal. He needed his broken jaw wiring as a result

            someone called Rendine from the N word composed a Radiophonic opera in 126 parts but I want no part of this glory or whatever as I understand the rules say you cannot play from Debtors Prison!

              No idea really, he befriended Farnellil the Casrato, who also came from Naples. I have a feeling the Radiophonic could be to do with wartime broadcasts? Would that fit in?

                You are volcanically hot there, Anna - a cerebral Vesuvius! You are almost there.... Come on! Another splash of Rioja! You are heading towards a conclusion and setting us a scintillating O (I infer, mon cher hercule, that you are not up for O? I sense you are acting as Eminence Grise here...)

                EDIT: My delayed absence starts now. I expect to return in an hour to a Neapolitan clean sweep, Anna!

                  A musical broadcast on the radio is involved.

                    Hold Fast Sirrah, My Verry Fine Young Gennulman! Am I up to your exacting standards?

                    In Naples everyone lives in the intoxication of having forgotten himself. I barely recognise myself. Yesterday I thought either you were mad before, or you are mad now. - Goethe

                    I have no idea as to this. Can I read me book ?

                      It's so near to completion, I'll leave it for some of the evening AA'ers to have a crack at finalising it.

                            You’re the salt in my stew;
                            You will always be my necessity--
                            I’d be lost without you.

                            Now, can you finish this puzzle off or will I have to sit up until midnight? Did Mrs. anton have a splendid time shopping?

                            Edit: I was away due to Master Chef

                              Reading back have we not got it?
                              Lady G had a lovely day thanks!

                                Anton, Barcelona? Have they renamed the Newcastle Metro Centre? Oh well, as Marino Marini used to say, 'Up the Wooden Hills to Napoli! and a fish stew' Sleep tight.
