We have found a great way to con money from a large number of poor, lonely, old men in need of a nice fuck.

We churn out priority emails, like this one, to get you interested. Our randy, very attractive, female interviewers drop in for a nice chat, prior to their most stimulating sales pitch. Boy, you'll see what I mean.

They concentrate upon your personal "indoor needs". If you're sucked in, into any old con trick, ready to sign on, look for your "union" payment. We now go in for the kill.

THE ANAGRAM SET CATEGORY

1st - Richard Grantham with:
Five great composers whose surnames started with the letter B (as indeed so many of them did), in chronological order: =
Old Bach, who created great masses or the truly divine Passions then went off to sire more tiresome goddam children;
Beethoven, adored stone-deaf master, model of choral-symphonic writing, whose terse late string music is rather odd;
To Brahms, whose tight symphonies and sweet if guarded violin concerto are deemed models of orchestral restraint;
Berg, who drew his hot, sad violin concerto (dedicated 'to the memory of an angel') from serialism's stern, austere depths;
Berio, whose elegant, edgy, eclectic Sinfonia's rather odd third movement swiped from Mahler, Strauss and others too.

- Richard Brodie. What mass talents! So doesn't even flinch at many Good Book rewrites, etc. ("Mere piffles, guys!")
- Michael Keith. Class maths genius, yet fast renowned for 'Periodic Table'. (Now set odds-on for 'Very Best Gram'.)
