That's it I am out of huff now.
So keeping to the Elgar theme and to show that you might not need a 
passport.

It's not necessarily an Elgar theme (just a musical connection) as I
shall now demonstrate:

Well, since it's a musical theme, and on Saturday we heard the world 
premiere of a piece of music by Sergey Prokofiev's grandson - who's based 
in London (but during the concert, was sitting about 30 feet from us), 
Gabriel's symphony was titled "When the City Rules", and was intended as 
a musical interpretation of life in a large city - Seattle, London, or 
wherever (it was a commission by the Seattle Symphony).

There aren't any stations in common between the London tube map and Link 
light rail, but there is a wormhole between Othello Station and Stratford-
upon-Avon, so that's my move. :)

That piece was quite loud, yes.  There was a familiar movement - the 
March - but yeah, quite dissonant.

> Don't like modern classical. :(((((

I've been surprised by a few modern pieces - Gabriel Prokofiev's piece 
made heavy use of syncopation, but it wasn't just loud.  It was pretty 
nuanced, if highly complex.

I was very surprised last year by Giya Kancheli's Nu.Mu.Zu. - we saw a 
premiere performance of that as well, and it was incredible.

That recording was made from our performance, as I recall - but it does 
lose something when listening to a recorded version.  The most intense 
parts, actually, were the completely silent parts.

I suspect that those would be the bits that Stephen would appreciate ;-)

Meanwhile, since the first line of this is:

I can do no other than head to Gloucester
