No.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Sheherazade (Ravel)

Kourse it is!

... and why Ravel and not Ripsthe Korsettsoff?

[cloughie]

I think merc can kling on for the L of it.

[Northender]

Ah... kling on ...Tristan Klingsor's words set by Ravel in 'Sheherezade'?

[Northender]

Klingsor's Last Summer (novella by Hermann Hesse)
Klingsor (character in Parsifal)

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

That's a hat-trick (set up nicely by mercs and cloughie) for Northender - and no need for an Annaian resumé!

Give us L at your leisure!

[mercia]

so is the story that Wagner nearly mistakenly employed a castrato for a baritone role ?

Let's be honest mercs solved it the kept his head down to avoid the setter's block!

[Northender]

I wouldn't have got it without the help of others.
L:
Career highlights include:
- Lust, pride etc.
- A mission for a terrorist organization
- A venue that sounds like a chocolate bar

Is Northenders trying to send us down the Lotte Lenya/Kurt Weill route as a wildgoose chase? Can't get into this. C.S. Lewis' Lion, Witch & Wardrobe dealt with the 7 Deadly Sins. Can't find any venues called Lindt, but I found Rosemarie Lindt, softporn actress!! Only choc bar which comes to mind is Lion Bar. C.S. Lewis also wrote about Galaxy and the Milky Way? As we looking (as it's career highlights) for an actor rather than classical pieces of music or maybe pop/rock?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

I think you're on to something with Lotte Lenya: she played Rosa Klegg (an agent of SPECTRE) in From Russia With Love.
Stuck on the Mars Bar bit: unless (ferney dreams come true!) there's a chocolate called Whisky Bar?! (Oh show me the way ... )

[Northender]

Lotte Lenya is indeed the answer, and ferneyhoughgeliebte clearly remembers her (thankfully) unsuccessful attempt to dispose of 007. Which Seven Deadly Sins are involved? The chocolate bar is so well-known - what can I say, other than 'Have a break...'?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

ferneyhoughgeliebte clearly remembers her (thankfully) unsuccessful attempt to dispose of 007.

Who could forget!? She circles Robert Shaw putting on a knuckle duster, and then hits him in the stomach with all her force. Shaw doesn't even blink.
"He seems fit enough!" she sneers, unimpressed.

Up there with "Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr Bond; I expect you to die!" from Goldfinger!

(PS: "ferney" or "fhg" saves a lot of typing time/spell checking!)

[Anna]

The Kit Kat Klub I guess? I'd abandoned Lotte Lenya as I thought it was too obvious!!
