mercia's answer is correct in every particular. Now for an 'E' from somebody (yes, yes, I know...)

[Flay]

has the number of AAers dwindled considerably?

Perhaps we should advertise for more? It's not a closed shop.

I'm not well at the moment, that's my excuse for wimping out. Quadruple pneumonia, bird flu, Hong Kong flu, penguin flu all at once (i.e. a cold). I looked at the D clues, thought about Duke but was too busy blowing my nose to look further. Woe is me <sniff>

Okey Dokes. I'll do an Easy E. Remembering what is happening tomorrow (and that's a clue, Guys!)

An E to connect: George Balanchine, Thin Lizzy and a Detroit R&B group

Emeralds - ballet, song, Detroit Emeralds.

Emeralds.

Lat, well done! Now, would you like to expand on that? Whilst obviously sending your best wishes to the Irish team tomorrow for their match against France!

Oh they make 'em hard in the mountains!!

Get better soon, Flay!!

And go Lats!! That was said with the conviction of a man who knows it's the right answer! Care to hexplain for us?!

Oi !!



(much cross-posting at the moment...!! right, need to get my party gear on! )

I think I just have done on the first Anna. As for the latter, happy to, but then I don't understand the implications. I'm guessing it might be Wales v England with Wales victorious. If so, happy to again.

[Anna]

Oi !!

Don't you Oi!! me. You know full well why the Welsh want the Irish to win, it's because we are Celts, in harmony, loving each other, nothing to do with the Grand Slam obviously. It's only a game, it's the taking part, not the winning that counts ..........

Yes, sorry Lat, but when you amend your post others do not scroll back. So, as you got it right, I will recap (this is just to encourage the others)
Emerald is the first movement of George Balanchine's ballet Jewels, but the first movement usually performed on its own.
Thin Lizzy's song Emerald
The Detroit Emeralds, Detroit R&B Group remembered for their hit "Feel the Need in Me"

Thought so. My name is Ochrolmeddwl1 and I'm a lifelong Plaid Cymru voter. Suppose I've got to think of a question now.

Oh, you sweet innocent child! Wales have already defeated the English, we are talking now about the Irish (Emerald Isle) against the French!
Edit: I have to prepare some Thai food, may not be around until a lot later, and it is a Saturday night, do not fret if no-one responds to your F.

[Lateralthinking1]

This f was replaced by the name of a man which is also the name of a place in Melbourne
A singer has recorded this f - she likes names beginning with one letter although that letter isn't "f"
And it is an f that is part of the name of a WW2 campaign in which the Australians and the Japanese clashed

(For the shopping people - It is also the name of a Cornwall clothing company)

[vinteuil]

Formosa?

[Lateralthinking1]

Vinteuil - I'm sorry. That is not the right answer.
