she was a remarkable writer and all manner of her previous work has now been re-published. Edward Nemirovsky writes music, some for film but also chamber music. Two of the films are titled 'The Horse' and 'The Billiard' hence a load of balls 
O, it's your mercs but I guess that you could hand over to cloughie if that is your wish and he is willing ...

Despite being able to supply two credible alternatives, I got nowhere near the 'card' answer the O is mercs, even though his enthusiam for the task appears less than totally enthusiastic!Originally posted by amateur51 View PostSpot on, mercs she was a remarkable writer and all manner of her previous work has now been re-published.

Blimey, ammy you've been cock of the walk this morning... with the balls to go with it! I'd have been nowhere on that one.
We need an O tho' !"...the isle is full of noises,

Thanks, chaps... I think I looked into pagodas recently, there may even have been a question about them (or which I thought was about them).
I do have a modest O... ahem... if no one minds...
This O links a visit to a cathedral (it might seem) by Holst, to a public school by Vaughan Williams, and a joke by Tchaikovsky."...the isle is full of noises,

Actually I'm ok with jumping one and going back - keeps things flowing, in case of difficulty... and O is tricky. We could call it the Mercia Skip.
