Alphabet associations - I

You might need to be more (boldly) Courageous perhaps?

Flay, I never knew you were a Trekkie! I was thinking more Sandy Dennis?

"Ludwig for kids": should we be thinking of the kids' TV cartoon (five-minute stories, used to be shown in the "Magic Roundabout slot" at tea-time, just before the News)?

Forgive my Germanic interruption - it was just a thought. Cloughie's not giving anything away, we will have to plead on bended knee as usual .

Gosh, I missed that. Was something directed at me? Our phone lines have only just been reconnected after two days of no-internet hell. I was only popping in when I could from other places.

I am sorry that you have so much stress on at the moment. I know all about the taxman and his surprises

I'm very fond of Her Majesty but I hate her %*&^^"% Revenue and Customs men!
Are we looking at a film for the Ludwig connection? Is the Ali G? No, perhaps not the last

More of an Alf really. The Ludwig is not film-related.

I'm like an open book

the archivist says no Queyras registered before

I've used Queyras AND Mantovani before, m'lud

Could fhg and Caliban and anyone else minded to discuss very recent episodes of The Bridge kindly put SPOILER ALERT at the top of their threads svp

You just can't get the staff, innit

SPOILER ALERT

(ACTUALLY NOT - I DELIBERATELY TRIED TO AVOID ANY SPOILING...)

And lucky old August!!

Ah; I'm not so sure - Saga merely said that he "slept over" and, I think, literally meant nothing more; Martin (the idiotic hypocrite!) put two-and-two together to get seven! I think sleeping was all they did "together" that night (to August's understandable disappointment, no doubt!)

I have no idea about this U...

In the meantime, I would love to know Anna's intuitive view on the above question, assuming she watched The Bridge... August: did he or didn't he?

Alf - is that an alien life form? Perhaps in a cartoon? I only thought with Ludwig, there is a film Beethoven Upstairs, which I think is for children. No idea, obviously up the wrong garden path again!

Nasty, have you seen a doctor about it?

OK OK



That's why I arsked mercia originally, in fact: the Mantovani thing rang a distant bell.

Apologies for not having the laser-like photographic memory capacity of the amateur brain!

It's like having a limp

Must be all this cold weather...

I was thinking about LvB rather than a St Bernard! Something many an exasperated parent has shouted to their children in the early hours...

Come on, cloughie, pass us a clue, don't hoard it in defence, SHOOT!

Anna - you have the Beethoven link - in my obviously inadequate googling, I had nnot realised it was a film< having only checked the music!

So can you get the other two? Who was Alf - well if I said she was female would it help. Sandy oon the other hand is male!

[Flay]

Oh goody, I was on the wrong track. I can keep what I was thinking for another AA clue later on....
