        Watch what? Sniping at Geminis? You should see how I dislike Taureans!! Sorry cloughie, this has got a bit hijacked. Shall be begin again at the beginning?

        Something that Delius (Bradford) wrote links an obscure rock band from Canterbury and a mystical number 148, which is not Psalm 148. I think I have got that right? Everyone clear about this?

          You never know who the gun is pointing at, there's often at least one in the crowd!

            Oh, I really do not hope that clue is what I am thinking it is ............ I'm off now.
            Edit: I think I got it wrong, sorry.

                Same from me too.

                Back to the N. If it is North (Hatfield and the proverbial), then we have Delius: North Country Sketches.

                But 148 has got me completely foxed...

                      I'm still sweating over this....

                      148 = Dunbar's number - a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.

                      Sonnet 148: "O me! What eyes hath love put in my head..."

                      The atomic number of an element temporarily called unquadioctium (Unquadoctium is the temporary, systematic element name for the transactinide element having the atomic number 148 and temporary element symbol Uqo).

                      And a bus route! Where to now?

                        While I'm at it, I have realised that we never actually finished my marvellous L by using the recently passed Anna's law.

                        <<The first L could have gone nuclear if not for the composer of a work including the second L, which could have gone royal. The third Ls could have lived for ever with a violinist, but didn't. >>

                        Justin Lavender - a tenor who left nuclear science for music at the behest of Pears and Britten.
                        Lavender's Blue - sung in Britten's The Turn of the Screw (royal as in "shall be king & queen").
                        Ladies in Lavender - where a Polish violinist who had been on his way to America was shipwrecked, washed-up and nurtured back to health by Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. He went on to leave them without saying goodbye, although later repaid their kindness. Debussy's "The Girl With Flaxen Hair" featured. I though he had played it, but cloughie assures us that it was the theme tune. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377084/fullcredits#cast

                        I'm glad I've got that out of my system

                            I'm writing you a PM about Bruckner 8

                              Exactly, my thoughts! Wow! But, maintaining 148 stable relationships ..... 148 is just so atomic as a number! Love it, it's positively nuclear in its intensity of feeling.
