Justin Lavender was persuaded by Peter Pears and
Benjamin Britten to abandon nuclear engineering for music.

I reckon you made that up, cloughie

Only on the AA thread, ladies and gentlemen, only on the AA thread would that make sense



Even then, only just... !!

[Flay]

No M handy - you go ahead! As to the rows - a few of us got quite heated, but I don't think Flay meant that - I've seen lavender in very neat rows in France, however.

Look at page 2 of his biography, cloughie:

A founder member of the Newlands Rowing Club, he rows regularly on the Thames.

On the M Maxwell and Marmalade are possibles

Maxwell

relevant but not the M (and no breakfast preserves)

[Anna]

Oh. Only relevant and Maxwell not an answer? George III had caged bullfinches that he taught to sing

(No doubt Anna will remember that particular episode from years ago)

Not sure that I do remember that Flay ..... was it fun?

[mercia]

It was when I went over to the old R2 MB and asked them if they would like R3 to give them Brian Kay's Light Programme. Their reaction was so vile/violent that you all had to come across from the R3 MB and rescue me!
