Au contraire, you have simplified it brilliantlyOriginally posted by Oddball View Post
Yes - quite right.
The Severn, the Teme and the Somme all feature in the titles of works by Gurney.
Easy!
Are you sure you don't want to have a crack at an H. Needn't be complicated, at all ! Think of a musical H word, check out three facts about it / him /her .... and let us have it !

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Thanks for the invitation Caliban, but I think I ought to demur. I would prefer to continue checking out the musical databases on which you guys are operating! Too hard work at present - maybe the next time H comes around!Comment

I didn't understand the Spit the dog reference, or cloughie's tilt at the question....
Enjoyed mercia's joke though!

"The sincerest form of flattery"? (as I tried to explain to the judge at my trial for plagiarism; I was acquitted but given three months' solitary for poor grammar.)Originally posted by Caliban View Post I did the L&H gag somewhere lately, I think!
A reference to a previous cloughie puzzle in which one of the answers was Bob Carolgees, which got my jowls-a-wobblin'!I didn't understand the Spit the dog reference, or cloughie's tilt at the question....
Yes, cloughie's gone quiet, though I think he's got the answer. I'll give it 'til after The News Quiz then add extra pointers if necessary. (mercs is closer than I think he thinks: his response is actually a very good way to the solution!)We watch and wait.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment
