      Not "his lemon drizzle cake", but "my lemon drizzle lemon cake".

      (Or cloughie's "only lemon drizzle cake")

        And there was me thinking that you'd just got a touch of the Nigella Lawson about you: my granola bars, etc!

          Well - if it gave her pleasure, I'd not object too vociferously.

            "Ylem is a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen for a variable ensemble of 19 or more players, and is given the work number 37 in his catalogue of compositions."



            a veritable stockade of Stockhausens

              a veritable stockade of Stockhausens
              - but more specifically (to quote from the WIKI article) The score is dedicated to the composer’s son Simon, who was five years old at the time of composition.

              ... and a photograph of the infant Simon Stockhausen appears as the frontispiece of the score of the work.

              So - the coleslaw:

              Simon Stockhausen two Ss fer the price of one:

              "patronised" by appearing in the score of his father's Ylem (the letters of which appear, crosswordwise, in "mY LEMon drizzle cake";
              worked with his half-brother ("fraternally"), the trumpeter Markus Stockhausen in the Trio APARIS, one of whose recording releases was called Despite the Firefighters' Efforts;
              has produced many film scores and solo albums on his own, one of which is Trip to Asia.

              The second generation of Stockhausen Musicians (there is also a sister, Majella) warrant greater exposure in the UK than they currently receive (APARIS' work got some airplay back in the day).

              Time for T (or alternative) at mercs' - to whom all is due!

                      Nice one, mercs!
                      But I'm going to let someone else play this one out.
                      I like the sting in the tail, though.

                      But googling took me down a rather dodgy path, at least here in the Thames Valley. I've learned some new police slang! Such a sheltered life I lead.

                              I've a feeling of déjà vu, but:

                              Charles contemplated Len's lecture on the Kosmos

                              Will we ever find the U?

                                Well done, Flay.

                                So, did anyone else know that a cup of tea is slang for sex?
                                Not just in Thames Valley Police Authority, it seems.
