Our father drove a Delage at one time and to this day the redolence of its vapours rises in our mind at major intersections.
intersection n. That part of an internal combustion engine that, when driven by he 'who art in heaven', emits pugnant vapours after the piston sucks in rich petroleum and the spark plug explodes. |

Here is Puzzle 293I have not been able to trace the name of the composer, so title and genre/specific role will have to surfice. To show the remaining surface substance (only) of a piece of music after it has been disowned by its composer due to his self-effacing wish (in retrospect) to remain anonymous. 2. Snowboarding Tommo That's my favourite. I am amazed to find that, according to Google, nearly 50,000 other fingers have strayed up from the surface of the "f" to the "r" key when typing that particular word. However, only 84 have managed to get a double hit, with "surrice".  |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

HERE and HERE is puzzle 351. We should warn members that it comes from one of those modernistical pieces so inexplicably popular in a certain camp which lack form balance structure rhythm melody counterpoint and a sense of harmony. modernistical n. the irritating tickling sensation that some examples of 'recent' music have upon the ears of those whose inclination is normally to avoid listening to it at all. |
