We regret that we cannot quite see how is is possible to regard some one answering to the name "Mitzi" as a serious person. Or are we "out of touch"? |

Some of the names Member Grew himselves has in the past answered to, like the incongruously Aeschylean "Io the Girl with Horns", hardly inspired one to take him at all seriously, if I may be so bold. |

Glad to see Ollie introducing his own special version of Peggle into the proceedings! The trick here is not guessing the snap, but rather managing to catch it accurately enough with the mouse and pointer so as to activate it.  Notice that they are deliberately 'out of phase' so as to make the exercise a challenging one. Baz |

We had thought that staggering the moving puzzle links might in fact make it easier to catch them. Alas now we note that we inadvertently included the staggering spaces in the link for 396 instead of before the url opening bracket. Too late to edit it of course since the edit time is of vital importance!

If this is an attempt to introduce a levelling of the playing field for those of us whose skills aren't so hot in the music-identifying sphere, I'm afraid it won't work, Ollie. I seem to remember that IGI was also the undisputed Master of the Universe when it came to 'Whack the Cyclist' and 'Splat the Kitten'.  (Funny name for a kitten, or a cyclist come to think of it.) |

I seem to remember that IGI was also the undisputed Master of the Universe when it came to 'Whack the Cyclist' and 'Splat the Kitten'. Ah, Dangerous Dave and Brutal Bob - happy days, George!  Now 401 seems very English to me, although I can’t quite place it – Vaughan Williams? 402 sounds like Mendelssohn, although is possibly Schumann, Weber or someone of that ilk. Is that the Danzi Sinfonia concertante for clarinet, flute and orchestra?
Indeed, Mr Sudden, a delightful piece of nonsense, full of fun.  Hurrah! I think I have the dots for that somewhere. Never played it though. Or for that matter heard it...  You should certainly try to find some time to take a look at it - this was from the Larghetto and the third movement polonaise is great fun. |

401 sounds like Elgar to me. But then I'm just a small green composer |

Hang on a tick. I might not be all that clever but not to put too fine a point on it either 402 was the third movement polonaise or I'm Very Surprised Indeed. |

379 sounds like it's James MacMillan. That can't be right can it? It reminds me very strongly of moments of the Seven last words from the cross but I know that it isn't. Trying to work out if it's a string quartet but I think it's larger than that...  |
