                I advise against an "Images" search....

                  Have we established any answers yet - is it David?

                  Oh and has anyone noticed we've topped #30000?

                    1) Attenborough
                    2) Le Roi David (Honegger, steam train anorak apparently - or is it just cause he wrote a piece about it?)
                    3) ..... stuck

                    Is that about the size of it so far, as the actress said...?

                        Steam trains? Fred Dibnah, Michael Portillo or Rev W Awdry, as well surely

                          Yes, that was a new one to me.... it reminds me of one of my early AA clues involving Janáček's 2nd string quintet

                            Yes but only one of those has a D? ...and only the rev's afterthought locomotive based on a GWR Pannier tank, Duck starts with a D!

                              Did Ole Bull write anything about work and whistles beginning with D

                                I just didn't want you being led astray young cloughie with the sireen calls of Dan

                                Didn't I read somewhere that there was a Dolores in Little Door's life?









                                I made that last bit up
