| Well done Clay ... Actually whether you class it as 1.5 or two depends
on whther you the term "snare drum" belongs to the Dept of redundancy dept.,
since most drummers I know talk about snares and basses and kettles and
drums etc.
By the way just for a bit of pedancy here ... no one can cure the flu,
let alone the common cold (which it turns out isn't so common considering
that there are hundreds of cold virii).

Do drummers snare trumpeter swans, catch C-basses and cook them in a kettle?

| Settle down, boys!
Seems I shouldn't have hooked the incipient musicians in you!
Now look, I've just received this despatch from Reuters. I think
it's an extract from a press conference given by an allied commander
in the Gulf.
"When Israel first used Cilla missiles against the PLO it erupted
into a major conflict. If they were to fire, in response to the
Iraqi Scud attacks on Tel Aviv, a Cilla, terrorist reprisals would
be certain.
It would be a startling error of judgement, sending a shock wave
rolling over foe and ally alike, all the way to Baghdad.
Saddam would love it! If there's a desperate player in this game,
he's it!
A tense period would follow as allegiances change and starry-eyed
Saddam sees Egypt and Syria fall into line"
