      Sorry; I shouldn't interrupt as I can't set a puzzle, but we have an English Cat(Anglo-Saxon Moggy) and some Boulevard Solitude (alone in a French thoroughfare) and We
      end up Come(-ing) to the River. All operas by Hand Werner Henze.

      Not sure about "deceived body of water".

        The Betrayed Sea! (Of which I'd not previously heard. )

        I feel guilty about butting in and calling off: I can set an I (once I've thought of one!) if you don't mind my frequent absences from the Forum. But if anyone does have an I burning a hole in their pocket they'd be doing everyone a favour.

            Might vinrouge get his revenge by setting us a Bygraves-free I, to help ferns out?

                don't worry I don't have a long face
                look
                actually it had plenty of flaws. Anglo Saxon doesn't mean English. Deceived doesn't mean betrayed. Alone doesn't mean solitude
                etc. etc.

                    I liked the puzzle, too: the way I got stuck on the cat and was even thinking of Waxman (Sunset Boulevard before the penny dropped.

                    It's gone quiet, so off the top of my head (rather like my hair ):

                    Jan's first; Fred's imagination; J(e)an after a String Quartet. What am I?

                      Nice one ferney

                      No idea Is it Fred rather than Fréd this time?

                      Not about getting intimate, is it?

                          Two minds with but a single thought, Flay

                          (A tragic waste of a pair of crania...!)

                          I was thinking Intimate Letters - Janáček

                          Voces Intimae - Sibelius

                          errrrrr

                              No, I cannot get things to fit - was thinking aloud. The Makropulos Affair Suite has a section: "a jsem totiz idiot (I am actually an idiot)."
                              And there's Alfred Schnittke's Life with an Idiot.

                              Shame, I'm blowing a perfectly good I clue
