Anna and I both want you to take it
I think that's a decision

Yes, we are united hercule! rubra has to have a P

[rubbernecker]

OK, but I don't have one ready to go at the moment and will be offline for a couple of hours. So P for patience, please, people.

Cue Don Petter: "What, not another hiatus...?"

Patience, by G&S, is really so very camp and funny about aesthetes and lesbians. Or that is the on-dit in Builth Wells.

That is your best yet, Anna!!!

As for your question, that pesky intruder, work, got in the way, followed by the journey home. The solutions were right up rubbers's latex-lined alley anyway.

Point of detail - Billy the Kid is listed in Wikipedia as someone who is "often wrongly" referred to as a cowboy. He was a rustler and outlaw, not strictly speaking a cowboy. Apparently.

Now the weekend hurrah! till a journey to France on Tuesday morning chouette!

No! I'm as easy as an oil slick, now I'm back home. It was earlier in the week, when I was 'on tour' and trying to tune in via Android gizmo now and again when I could find some Free Wi-Fi, that it seemed my window never coincided with a live question.

[rubbernecker]

Which P first put Harry in the can, commissioned a pair of BBs, inspired a piano quartet, and gained a Hollywood star?

[Don Petter]

Polignac (Prince and Princess de) commissioned quite a few musical works in the early twentieth century?

Indeed so, and we had Polignac last time around...

So I've lost the thread! Not for the first time (and to be honest, it has been getting rather diffuse of late, and difficult to see the wood for the lovies ... )

[mercia]

are there any viola players playing this game?

[Nick Armstrong]

Not guilty!

Furrow-browed of Felixstowe has rung in to ask precisely where we are as regards 'P'.
EDIT: Message #2553 contains all previous answers. I make a point of checking there before setting a question.

Square one, I think. I take 2903 to be a 'no'. Our archivist would not repeat a previously-sought answer...

[Norfolk Born]

Thank you! (Blame my confusion on those who introduce such extraneous matter as, say, bargain wines at the Co-op, walks in uncharted territory, Pink Floyd and so on. Not to mention that chap on the East coast who WILL GO ON about Coronation Street. )

But surely there is no rule against setting a question which will lead to a 'previous answer' - provided the clues are sufficiently devious and baffling. and unconnected with the previous route to the answer?

I remain, however, baffled as to where we are in the pea-stakes...
