    what I meant to ask them was, if a camera catches me again (this was my first time) will I automatically get penalty points ........... they surely wouldn't send me on another identical course
    When I went on my course we had voting thingees to check our answers and to the question what is the speed limit in a built up area the answers were and I jest not

    2 - 10 mph
    4 - 20 mph
    7 - 30 mph
    2 - 40 mph
    1 - 50 mph
    1 - 60 mph

      The answer includes Jeremiah Clarke of the trumpet thingy presumably, and http://www.jeremiahbornfield.com/ ?

      Go for it, amster!!
      Don't be so b...y cheeky Cal - one football match is enough for one week, or even several, I was out at singing practice! Yes Jeremiah Clarke was one composer, Am quite rightly has Bernstein's Jeremiah Symphony and there was another composer called Jeremiah!
      Jeremiah Bornfield - heard of him - neither had I until I decided that no J other than Jeremiah would do!

          the work with the J in it is by a composer who has the same J as the other two composers ?

          i.e. four Js altogether ?
          The final answer

          Jeremiah


          Jeremiah Clarke
          Bernstein Symphony 1 Jeremiah
          Jeremiah Bornfield

          I came home fully expecting Am to have a magic but tricky K and that it would be half completed.

          Oh I see Am has declined, but Cal stepped in!

                  But Kim Jong Il 's book on opera has already been mentioned. Independence, peace, art, literature and friendship are ideas that have been consistently adhered to by the government of the North Korean Republic in foreign relations

                    Message #15890 has the answer!! - oh that's the 20:09 reference. So that gets you all three!

                    I think anton has earned the L even though Flay said he had one ready - and I suppose if he steps in first we can't object, since he inspired a slightly cheeky question. Since I happen to know both are abroad, first come, first served!! (And I'm not talking about local alcohol. Or perhaps I am...)

                    Yes cloughie, am in a rather cheeky mood generally this evening!

                      Hang on - I knew there were some smart-asses on this board, but answering before the question is set, is pretty damn good!

                        Well it wasn't the book, but Kim's 6 operas recently cited which sparked my interest.... Course I haven't checked if Flay was actually telling the truth..!!!

                          Hamlet

                            Who's setting the next question? I've been having trouble following the sequence of events over the last few days.

                              Franz Lizst wrote a tone poem based on Hamlet, and a variation on the Diabelli waltz. His mother's maiden name was Lager.
