I love it when the balers move in and to see what kit they've got and that rhythmic thump, clunk, thump, clunk.

... and presumably in this hot weather, the balers are unencumbered by unnecessary garments, and their kit can easily be appraised?

Thump, clunk eh?

[Nick Armstrong]

First, not a square composer; alone, a globetrotter; last, Mr Panayiotou. Mmmmm?

Last: Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou is George Michael...

So are we looking for 3 Michaels?

Oh, I deleted because I didn't want to get in the way of ferney's M .......... and of course I cannot repost ..........
Well, come on Cali, get a move on, I've already got a link to two of the elements! Edit: Curses, cross posted! And ....... Michael Douglas played for the Harlem Globetrotters!

... as my English teacher used to tell his students; "Always go for the questions that look most difficult: they're usually the easiest!"

I assume that, as 'last' pointed to Georgios's 'last' name, 'first' refers to someone called Michael something... Michael ... Tippett? Divertimento on Sellinger's Round... not Square?

Now what could the 'alone' refer to?! Yes Anna, Michael Douglas and the Harlem Globetrotters... but why alone?

Anna got this #20614, innit?

"Michael Douglas played for the Harlem Globetrotters!"

Impeccable logic, Cali; but not the answer on the card. More in the territory of Luscinia Megarhynchos.

But why alone??!?!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Michael Douglas played for the Harlem Globetrotters!

I preferred him in The China Syndrome
Not the correct character: the "alone" is significant.

"alone" as in "solo"?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

"alone" as in "solo"?

Yes; but also in the sense that "first" pointed to a forename, and "last" a surname.

Would you want to play with Michael Douglas? My mistake, I didn't read ferney's semi-colons and commas correctly! Surely Michael Jackson has to be involved ..........?

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes; but also in the sense that "first" pointed to a forename, and "last" a surname.

Not Michael Jackson? AKA just "MICHAEL" as shrieked all night by Japanese pre-teens when Jacko and his entourage stayed in a hotel at the back of mine

(Cross posted Anna... Great minds... Sorry about your 'balers kit' posting.. but I've no intention of deleting mine!! )

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

No, not the late "king of pop"; the Michael in question was never given a surname.
