    however, that's me done for todaya bientot
    Oh! And so close to the "memorable": the Overture In Memoriam (1866).

    Three works by Sullivan before he ever met Gilbert.

      Nice one mercs... I could find a T, to save mercia from having to battle SB in the early hours.

      Great pair of Bridges. Gripping. I thought the moment when Saga 'learned how to lie' sitting next to sweet Anja's bed was marvellous, so subtly done... The character progress of Saga is almost more interesting than the plot

      And lucky old August!!

        Mercia - if you were burning to set a T, apologies... I'll hand you a letter later, upon request! I've had a T at the back of my mind for a while, so here goes.

        Which T links Liszt's First Piano Concerto with Baldrick and John Deacon?

            This very three sided question rings true.

              So does that answer...

              I think perhaps you'd better explain!

                    I think I've had a problem finding a suitable U before - need a little ponder time or does merc want a go?

                          is that Sandy Wilson ?
                          are we vaguely in the world of pantomime?

                            You might need to be more (boldly) Courageous perhaps?

                              Ah; I'm not so sure - Saga merely said that he "slept over" and, I think, literally meant nothing more; Martin (the idiotic hypocrite!) put two-and-two together to get seven! I think sleeping was all they did "together" that night (to August's understandable disappointment, no doubt!)
