    I get the Allegri/Mozart link but Stockhausen - light music? And Paul - who he? Explanation pleas
    Edit: No explanation because it appears some formula 1 nonsense is on!
    Men! What are they like ............. How boring is F1? About as rivetting as scrabble. According to the BBC Pastor Maldonado won it, since when has religion entered into it?

      Stockhausen's Opera Wednesday, is from the Cycle Licht (= "light"! Y'see what I did there? Pathetic, isn't it!)

      And Paul - who he? Explanation please
      Paul Simon, whose first album with his partner Art Garfunkel (gedditt?) was the tautologously titled Wednesday Morning, 3.00 a.m. - "early" because it was their first, and because of the hour.

      I think you must be mistaking me for Mr Pee. (Not a sentence I hope to have to repeat ever again!)
      As for "F1", isn't that the key you press to get "Windows Help"?

      Love Scrabble, though.

            Anna - I didn't choose my curry very well, felt like trying something new so went for something called a Chicken Namaste which was a bit too creamy-yoghurty-vinegary for me. Chicken Naste more like...

            But good natter and so nice to sit outside before, outside a Clerkenwell pub, with a pint of Young's bitter, in the light till gone 9pm, shooting the breeze... the first foretaste of summer

              I refer the honourable gentleman to the relevant passage in my previous answer:

              Paul Simon, whose first album with his partner Art Garfunkel (gedditt?) was the tautologously titled Wednesday Morning, 3.00 a.m. - "early" because it was their first, and because of the hour.
              Anyone fancy throwing a nifty X/Y/Z into the ring?

                How was it up near Hadrian's Wall. Did you pack your thermals?

                          I have just extended a personal invitation to FrenchFrank's taste and decency android to attend to the inevitable aftermath of that remark!
