All correct. We await a G at some stage in the future.

I'll jog along the touchline for a bit and then come on as I think mercia's heading for the dressing room!

[Nick Armstrong]

G up folks!

An armed man meets David with hiccups in a French hotel?

[cloughie]

Three clues: three works, one composer.

Some punctuation would have helped, I took one look, hadn't a clue what it meant and abandoned it!

[cloughie]

G up folks!

An armed man meets David with hiccups in a French hotel?

Has David got the hiccups or are the hiccups in the hotel?

[Nick Armstrong]

Has David got the hiccups or are the hiccups in the hotel?

David's got the hiccups!

[Nick Armstrong]

You mean like my heavily punctuated question?

[Flay]

It's all gone very quiet!

Logging off in about ten minutes if anyone wants to suggest a solution before then.

Otherwise we'll have to see if the Night Shift can finnish things off.

Just catching up on the day's happenings. I was wracking the brains late last night with Barbarossa but missed that cunning clue. Curses!

[mercia]

An armed man

l'homme arme
a French song whose tune has been the subject of many mass settings including by at least two Guillaumes, a Giovanni and a Giacomo
if any of those might be the G in question
would it help if I knew the French for hiccups?

EDIT - hiccup/hocquet/hocket - a musical term
EDIT EDIT - David Hocquetus, a double hocket by Guillaume de Machaut

blimey, this is all a bit esoteric isn't it

Guillaume+Hotel is giving me a poem by Guillaume Apollinaire, 'Hotel', part/all(?) of which set by Poulenc in his Banalites ???

[Flay]

indeed.

I vote it's the Guillotine for Caliban!

[cloughie]

You mean like my heavily punctuated question?

It was scb really, but if the cap fits, but your clarification was exemplary even if I still haven't a clue.

Ésotérique? Moi?

Mercia, your early night has done you good

Your powers are undimmed

The G is indeed Guillaume !

Yes to "David Hoquetus" by Guillaume de Machaut
Yes to "Hotel" by Guillaume Apollinaire as set by Poulenc.

Now which Guillaume for the "Homme Armé" Mass?
