it's surely been asked before, but does anyone know what the brisa de la palma might be? | ||

Sounds like the name of a bar or hotel to me. Literary, of course, it's something like "breeze of (through?) the palm tree." | ||

Oh, for an editing feature. I meant "literally." | ||

For a very long time I thought that line referred to "the greasy Della Palmer". I thought she must have been a right unsavoury character. | ||

Ah! The misheard line. Recently I was listening to VU's "Stephanie Says" and realized that the line is "what country shall I say is calling from across the world?" I always thought it was "what country shall I say is calling from across the room?" I like that much better. | ||

Yep, even the double 'L' is present + correct (sad trainspotters remark) | ||

I thought it was a bar that was "Breezy". Surely a draught excluder would come in handy. Either that or "Brisy", short for Brisbane. Not sure how you spell it. | ||

Wasn't Della Palmer a character on the old Perry Mason show? | ||

That was Della Street. |
