Alphabet associations - I

[BetweenTheStaves]

(an ex-mayor of New York was the founder of HarperCollins publishers, but I think I'm taking these clues far too literally)

Follow the bold...but don't forget the 'maybe'..so not the mayor but someone with the same name, maybe.

[Anna]

None of the above, I'm afraid, hercule and Anna. And climate change is not the weather!

Well, I'll believe you!! Thousands wouldn't

[Norfolk Born]

Whose turn is it - if it's anybody's yet?

[BetweenTheStaves]

I'm still waiting for the last two parts...maybe published by an ex-New York mayor or shall I change the weather (think wings)

[BetweenTheStaves]

Follow Calisto!

[Don Petter]

and dieting girl is LASs...the dieting implies the truncation.

Hmm. I would call 'dieting girl' for LAS a bit of a sloppy clue, unless she was wasting away from the feet up!

LAS for 'short girl' would be OK. I would expect dieting girl to be more likely LS (lass with nowt in 'er)?

[Anna]

This is far too complexicated for me Laura. Weather changing with wings is Lorenzo innit, not P. MacCartney I'll tune in tonight to see the final verdict after Casualty (sorry, don't do Corrie re soaps)

[mercia]

(think wings)

well there's a Callisto butterfly which might make you think of that saying about a butterfly on one side of the world causing a hurricane on the other side (or something??!!)

[BetweenTheStaves]

Yes....so just the last one. Going to have to take a break but will check in later on this evening.

[BetweenTheStaves]

Ah well...maybe Corrie or the Killing has taken precendence. Away to the land of nod. The last part will be solved...we know the name 'Calisto'...think music!

[Norfolk Born]

Calisto? Callisto? Another pound cryptically lost?
(Having become comprehensively confused, I think I'll join Anna in simply waiting for the answer).
In the meantime....Todd, Violet and the other Barlow sprog are slated to return....
Perhaps Anna would like to introduce a 'Casualty' sub-thread to entertain us while we wait for the answers to the more cryptic questions to emerge.

[Anna]

Cavalli composed an opera La Calisto

The Corrie sub-thread is confusing enough without a Casualty spin-off!! Off now, all will be clear in the morning I expect.

[Norfolk Born]

The opera La Calisto was published by Giuliani (a reference, no doubt, to Rudy). The Jovian satellite is Callisto. The weather-changing butterfly (something to do with chaos theory?) is also Callisto (thanks, Anna). Is this the first occasion on which the correct answer has had two different spellings? Final score: Callisto 2, Calisto 1. 'Back of the net!' as Alan P would say.

[Nick Armstrong]

'Back of the net!' as Alan P would say.

"Eat my goal!"

[rubbernecker]

'Back of the net!' as Alan P would say.

I'm hearing echoes (rubbernecker #580)
