pretty much - my Bridge partner Martin has a Bosendofer which is around 8˝ octaves, with wonderful additional bass notes...
so what about the rest?

You were watching a slide show or a video of somebody's recent holiday around Europe and North Africa?
You were eating a selection of foods from those countries?
I know not and I won't be able to guess till tomorrow. Shutting down in five.... four... three... two....

The Quizette Quiz: At this juncture this is what I know. I know that.. a) a quizette is a quiz designed for women, and men who try to stay in touch with there feminine side. b) the company of 100 keys is “Century Islands Productions”, the company that produces the tube adventure show -“Escape From Fantasy Island”. c) the words Germany, Scotland, France, Greece, Egypt, Czechoslovakia, Portugal and Spain, contain all the letters of the alphabet but b,d,j,q and x. d) one can extract one hundred words from Maverick’s paragraph and reassemble them into a paragraph of one hundred words that makes no sense. e) Faldage’s answer was wrong. Which makes it all worth while.

Czechoslovakia was only a country from 1919 until the early 90s when it split in two. Previous to 1919 it was part of Austria-Hungary.
The countries named have very little in common. It can't be about languages since Scotland speaks mostly-English. It could be about food or music or dances. The tube has me.
The only thing I can think of that would match Mav's bio is that he plays bridge and Omar Sharif (the Egyptian actor - Egypt being one of the named countries) is also a bridge player. It's a long shot but I'm guessing that tube has something to do with Bridge. The only terms I know from that game are rubbers and tricks.
So you played out some classic bridge problems posed by players from those countries and then finished off the night tinkling on the ivories.
Getting warm, Mav?
