I only know Red Brick^* commas
(^*Does Nottingham University count as Red Brick?)

Oh, Bless! Actually, it's really called the serial comma (but also known as the Oxford comma or Harvard comma so as those that use it, and refer to their use of it, can feel superior!)

I thought it was a Comma Van!

mercia, how do you do it - just conjure up the answer out of thin air? It's awesome! You must be on the same wavelength as cloughie ........

That should definitely be cause for worry!

a possible riposte ]

... sadly, Caliban had not noticed that my #24671 to which he hoped to riposte was itself the Vampire Weekend song.

And in a prettier version than his #24674.

pray for me

anyone got an N question they've been burning to pose ????

I might be gestating one if you care to wait some little time... Say your prayers in the meantime.

Indeed it was vints, far prettier and more entertaining. But, we expect nothing else than superiority from you.

thank you Mr Flay

We're all in a silly post-Olympian mood, so let's have an N from: Kinderlieder, and a jolly good Falla

[Flay]

This isn't going well.

The first sang but lacked a cord, the second was only briefly in existence but the product lives on in football crowd culture, the third might have been popular to some Iberians.

Kinderlieder

Nana Mouskouri, apparently born with only one vocal cord - Kinderlieder (1979)

EDIT - Nana - one of Falla's 7 Spanish Popular Songs

Almost! The clue is and it is trite and trivial, but for some reason was my earworm for the day

This is a case where, I think, an Oxford Comma would actually have helped.

Rather than "Kinderlieder, and a jolly good Falla"

... if you put "Kinderlieder, , and a jolly good Falla"

it becomes clear that is a discrete item, the second clue...


Just a thought.
