[Flay]

I feel your pain, ferney!

[cloughie]

Not much luck with Christmassyesque I's - so a quickie instead:

An I to see what connects Maurice, Alex, and John.

Ivy?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Ivy?

No - without planning it, this puzzle turned out to be a Christmas-free zone.

On the basis of ruling that I for Alex isn't I for Iwobi - at least I don't think it is - I am tempted to go for another scattergun approach.

Maurice - would that I derive somehow from Ravel, Ohana, Forster, Chevalier, Gibb?

Maurice - Ravel

(You're also right in that it isn't "Iwobi" either. Nor any other Jedi knight. )

My starting point for Maurice being Ravel was "Idees" but I ran out of ideas on any Alex and John connections soon afterwards.

A turkey dinner hasn't helped the thinking processes but hopefully establishing that Maurice is Ravel will help others.

That's all right - I've no idee, either.

[Lat-Literal]

That's all right - I've no idee, either.

To help this clue along, I think we can rule out any connection between Ravel and Oxlade-Chamberlain but not necessarily Jensen.

I could, of course, be wrong.

If you're not, I am!

Not Alex Hills .... ??????

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Not Alex Hills .... ??????

Correct ... it's not Alex Hills.

[Lat-Literal]

The nearest I can come to a sensible suggestion is ice - Bolero/Fire and Ice, Ice Cold in Alex and possibly John Curry or John Mills - but my instinct tells me I am wrong.

I suppose we could try to tackle the Alex - de Grassi. Shapiro, Patterson, Prior, Harvey, Ferguson (!)?

FORGET ALL THINGS SEASONAL! HONEST!

As you've established that Ravel is concerned, you're already nearly there - it's one of his most famous pieces.

(When you get to John, you might find Stingray helpful - but I don't want to be too childish.)

Sorry - I have completely lost the plot.

But is Barry Gray relevant?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Sorry - I have completely lost the plot.

Well, with Alex, you could just take a Wilde guess.

But is Barry Gray relevant?

Tangentially, yes.
