      In this case knowledge only of how to do relevant internet searches.

        Oh No, don't come the raw prawn with me! I know your knowledge does not just come from google or wiki but from experience (possibly at Hogwarts?) and a deep understanding of classical music, how else would you have got the answer except, if you knew it? Case dismissed!

          Non - moi!

          Loving all the "resident salad-head... greengrocers offering Anna a furtive Boston (instant new euphemism) &c &c" fun!

          But I see that even typing this, the M has whizzed past.

          Cracking stuff, folks. It's good to be back. Just have to get back up to speed

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

              But I did it with love in my heart! Because you are worth it (the odd insult)

                Lucky that old vindetable is clearly a robust Merlot-Syrah who can withstand such treatment, and not a delicate Pinot who would have gone off (in a huff)

                  I think it's the odd bunch of mourvèdre in vindetable's mix that accounts for his robust structure, Caliban

                    You are right. I am chastised. I will delete those posts, say three Hail Marys and a Novena. I now feel so ashamed at bismirching vint's good name ....... did I really call him a Prima Donna?

                        might they by any chance be Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor or otherwise connected with Falstaff?
