Why were we led to believe you were from Walthamstow*, then?
(* a 'god-forsaken part of North London') -
Have been pondering this T since about 9.45 this morning and can't get a way in.
- Rather like the conference I have currently been helping to organise (and which has partially explained my enforced absence from this esteemed thread) in a major continental fleshpot and my concomitant frustration in failing to secure invitation thereto.
- Rather like repeated attempts to secure online access (and which has partially explained my enforced absence from this esteemed thread) during a period of Advanced Level/Facebook revision for The Teenager.
Greetings to all!

It is almost 12 hours since I first looked at T and have made no progress.
Is the T musical? Which of the elements, if any, are musical? Am I not paying attention?Comment

Evening all. I'm in the same boat as Taps, I have only been allowed brief visits here by the rather hectic rhythm of this weekOriginally posted by amateur51 View PostI'm not responsible for m'learned friend Caliban's more fluorescent flights of geographical fancy, now am I?

And in that time, I too have failed to penetrate "T".
Monsieur l'Amateur, I have never led anyone to believe that where you lived was anything but a mecca for the faithful, nor that it was anywhere other than the upper reaches of the Harrow Road. Where on earth Rubbers got the Walthamstow idea from (
"northern"?? and anyway could your header be clearer, Ammy??) is beyond me unless there is some recherché little private witticism that has escaped me.
I'm going to be only an occasional bird of passage here this week I fear. The 7am call on Saturday really upset the carte à pommes of Caliban's nocturnal constitution... and I have to meet a client for breakfast somewhere at 7.30am this Friday
However cordial whatsits all round. No sign of our dear Ofcachap?
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

This T is beyond fiendish, but I am going to hazard a guess then retire for the night:
Trigonometry.
EDIT: Matteo Ricci brought trig to China; Ptolemy was an early exponent (he was known as Tolomeo in Handel's Giulio Cesare), and...erm...Hollingsworth contains four letters which spell the word "trig".
I'll get me nightcap...Comment

Now up a tree in Barking Creek. Good night, all. Sweet dreamsComment

Matteo and Mandryka are both characters in Strauss's ArabellaOriginally posted by vinteuil View PostComment

... so we have:
1.) Zdenka/Zdenko in Strauss's Arabella
2.) Handel's eponymous hero Giulio Cesare
3.) perhaps Robert Hollingworth's take on Giovanni Croce...Comment
