Hello AB. Yes - I have seen that one too i,e. Think of plane tricks- a ballet rail with Luxembourg, and what a ball does. Well planes do "stunts/loops"; a ballet rail is a "bar" and a ball "bounces" but no idea whee Luxembourg comes in. Just can't fathom it out at all.

Not to worry, Twinsnan; I enjoyed reading through Pinafore and Pirates! But I'm not sure that Q90 is G&S either!

Bill,
Asea shanty from Gilbert and Sullivan I believe.
"While the raging seas do roar
And the stormy winds do blow
And we jolly sailor boys were skipping up aloft
And the land lubbers lying down below, below, below
And the land lubbers lying down below."
