Is it true that there was one that said 'Andrew Lloyd Webber writes another hit musical'?

I know people are taking the piss but I know what the OP means.
I love the names Polly and Dolly, quite like Holly but can't stand the name Molly. Grin
I do like Beryl too, both because of the semi precious stone and because I love Beryl Reid!

Lost consonants has a website!? I've missed those.
