Alphabet associations - I

I suggest that either the person who deciphers the connection, or the person who sets it in the first place, explains the solution and the meaning of the clues at the conclusion. This would prevent this sort of confusion. You could churlishly refer to it as 'beefy's rule'.

De superfluitas non curat lex.

That is Anna's Law, Beefy old boy.

Trouble is, we're not at the conclusion yet because no-one can be a***ed to solve the final element!!!

hmmm. We in Shepherd's Bush are traditionalists and sneer at you newcomers -

Even though I am from east London, I accept that those south Londoners have the best pie and mash shop - Arments.

its called life.

Edit. Is it the liquor Anna? A lot of people don't like the liquor.

I just don't like looking at a picture of tasteless slop.

That is Anna's Law, Beefy old boy.

And a very fine Law it is too.

I could, possibly, but I have to go in a mo so don't want to post an H

I thought the answer was Glass

me too
Ravi collaborated on the Gandhi/Attenborough film music ??

hope someone's got an H question 'cos I haven't

[Anna]

me too

Hurrah! I was not alone

[Nick Armstrong]

Ravi collaborated on the Gandhi/Attenborough film music

Yes!

So Anna's Law:

Gandhi
1. Ammy worked out Philip Glass (the compound) and
2. Anna got the Rotterdam connection - both leading to Gandhi as PG's opera Satyagraha was based on his life
3. Mercia got Shankar's connection to the film Gandhi

If Mercia's sitting it out and Anna has declined an H... eyes down for...

<drum roll>

Amateur Hour!!

If anyone thinks Pie and Mash is tasteless slop, they haven't lived. Washed down with a cup of PG Tips tea, Skol lager or wines like Black Tower or Blue Nun, it can't be whacked

... clearly M. Oven will very soon be applying to join the highly select coterie of raffiné gourmets here - a secretive group, but of which Anna, Caliban, Amateur are known to be denizens

Since Caliban has revealed his taste for builders' tea, sweet and strong <shudder> (I use loose top quality Darjeeling, Darling) plus a passion for pie and mash ........ I've really gone off him!

I think my "not bad" hardly equates to 'passion'.

But still:
