Been puzzling more about how Flay arrived at someone with 'Miles' buried deep as a middle-name, than about this conundrum, which is puzzling enough. Getting nowhere on any front...Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post
Constantin Silvestri, presumably? And Dutch based composer Franz Weisz? Assuming you don't mean the fragrant Rachel, Mrs Daniel Craig?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I suspect that Flay took one look at the puzzle setter* and decided it couldn't possibly be anything more straightforwardOriginally posted by Caliban View Post
No.Constantin Silvestri, presumably?
No.And Dutch based composer Franz Weisz?
Follow your nose, Mr Bond!Assuming you don't mean the fragrant Rachel, Mrs Daniel Craig?
* - does that mean that those who try to solve them are "puzzle settees"? Reminds me of IKEA.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Unless we're talking ancient Rome, where Miles is a soldier (though it's Colosseum not Coliseum), we are presumably in the environs of St Martin's Lane or Trafalgar Square, where we have Nelson's column.
That's no help yet though!Comment

No help ever - the needle would have been more helpful.or Trafalgar Square, where we have Nelson's column.

Ah!
Think I have a possible N!
Have found a Miles connection, and she also has an uxorial current Coliseum connection.
Now for the others.......Last edited by Pulcinella; 05-03-16, 16:58. Reason: Changed a uxorial to an uxorial; not a word I use much but think it needs the an!Comment

Might be confused: Weisz and Silvestri are a combo, yes?
So we are looking for an N that connects
Weisz/Silvestri
Miles
The Coliseum?
In which case,
Nefertiti
Rachel Weisz starred as Nefertiti in Silvestri's The Mummy Returns
Miles Davis has a 1968 album Nefertiti
Nefertiti is one of the characters in (wife of) Akhnaten, currently on at ENO (though possibly without the choristers being dressed or singing the songs!)Comment

Would that I were as lucid when confused!Originally posted by Pulcinella View Post
- a perfect answer with extra creamy coleslaw. So, in the words of the "Four Candles" sketch - "Got any Os?
(Incidentally, as the chorus in Akhnaten are supposed to be slaves, wouldn't the choristers not "being dressed" be authentic?
)

It was the needle hint wot did it, with the further south east: Cleopatra ---> Egypt ---> Nefertiti.
Old yer orses and an O will be along shortly!Comment

This O is associated with a vitrified (though actually petrified) first appearance, and also with two varied members of an Elizabethan sextet, making a dozen in one case.Comment

It was none other than Sir Tim Rice of Lloyd Webber fame, so it just might have been relevant.Originally posted by Caliban View Post
