Well, if foul-mouth oafs can have charisma...

Tis oft the case cloughie, although, never having seen him live, I wouldn't know, I was just going by his appearance .....

Getting back on track.... It's mercs turn to go down the U bend,

I nearly posted a U .......... but mercs got there, well a Lahti L-39 is a Finnish 20 mm anti-tank rifle used during the Second World War .... Oh, Flay, when Mrs. Flay bangs on the bathroom door, tell her, a Man has to Do, What a Man has to Do and although you, obviously, love her to death, AA means more to you ...........

[mercia]

...and he conducts Sibelius exceedingly vell!

thanks for the clue - actually I already know the answer

[mercia]

I nearly posted a U ........

oh yes, go on Anna, then cloughie can set a W

brilliant idea

[cloughie]

I nearly posted a U ...........

Look skywards for the porcine flyer!

[Anna]

I deleted my U (thinking it would be solved in 30secs) as I am having to be offline until the morning, carry on with the V. Oh, cloughie, porcine flyers, just look back.

[Flay]

And so I have deleted my picture too!

I confess I couldn't work your clue out, Anna, my mind is not devious enough.

[amateur51]

I had assumed not so much as a broken reed but watching James Murdoch? Is he squiggling and wriggling? I do hope The Divine Mr. Jay is being very stern with him! I had not a clue about the T, well done super-sleuth mercia.

Seconded mercs

Mr Murdoch is behaving as if he has been very well (and very expensively) prepared for this. He is busy 'shopping' Jeremy Hunt while appearing not to do so, natch. Eddie Mair & Robert Peston were chatting gleefully about it all on PM and reading out various e-mails & it was clear that they contain their fair share of profanties (Hark! Is that a robot starting up?) and yet you get no sense of that from Murdoch's presentation to Leveson (hence my remark about preparation).

Look skywards for the porcine flyer!

[Flay]

I only just got it! <doh> Cheeky, cloughie!

[Nick Armstrong]

I deleted my U (thinking it would be solved in 30secs) as I am having to be offline until the morning, carry on with the V. Oh, cloughie, porcine flyers, just look back.

Just back after •¶≠∞§*!!! of a day... What is all this deletion, and was the picture of Nige holding some form of appliance the pic you deleted, Flay? Was that linked with U? Nige... U... ... Unshaven? Unconvincing (plebeian accent)? Unnecessarily trendy, even though middle-aged?

Oh well, it's history now.

The V is Osmo VVVVVVanska isn't it?

[mercia]

The V is Osmo VVVVVVanska isn't it?

vvvvvvvvvvv..yes
for probably obvious reasons ........ he done his conducting at them places wot wos in the question

I'm afraid there wasn't a U question ............. but I guess that doesn't matter
