        Wow... this is esoteric stuff. I'm just spectating (ditto Murray v Tsonga)

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

              Only just looking in - how is The Odd Man out Elizabethan, or am I having (yet again) another blonde moment?

                      Flash Floods will ensure that the Avon won't flow gently, unlike the title of a choral arrangement of Ronald Binge's (his was several pints) Elizabethan Serenade.

                        Mint cake? Lovett at the Royal Opera House (taken with a pillar of salt).

                        WTF?

                          Going out soon, Mrs Flay will be (even more) livid if I'm late...

                          Elizabethan it was.

                          William Alwyn: Elizabethan Dances (he wrote the score for the film Odd Man Out) - oblique but by George, they got it!

                          Variations on an Elizabethan Theme - a set of variations for string orchestra, written collaboratively in 1952 by Lennox Berkeley, Benjamin Britten, Arthur Oldham, Humphrey Searle, Michael Tippett and William Walton.

                          Binge's Elizabethan Serenade was made to a song: Where The Gentle Avon Flows

                          Excellent, lads! Off now - exit stage left!

                              There is oblique, and then there is obtuse I find.
