Fancy a pint, tinners?

(anyone remember the story in which the serious possibility was considered that some Oxford musicologist who was a fan of John Cage might have murdered an opera singer as a result of their aesthetic convictions? Wink )

I don't see this one getting very far before Wagner is mentioned, but won't that then suggest the need to move it into one of the opera threads?...

Should someone start a "Moveable Feasts" thread"?...

Best,

Alistair

Funny you should say that, Ian, as I'm just heading out to the George now. See you there? (When Morse says 'Fancy a pint?' doesn't he generally mean 'You're paying', though?! Wink Which I suppose means I'm buying you one.)
