Alphabet associations - I

Just element 2 left to get - and then the "N" which unites them.

I'll be offline for an hour or so now...

I wonder where your fractured-jaw bloke came from, Anna

It was covered in the news last month - poor old Riccardo Muti fainted and fell face-first off the podium while conducting a Chicago Symphony rehearsal. He needed his broken jaw wiring as a result

And he comes from Naples!

Oh, it's all yours I think my dear hercule. I may have the looks, you have the brains!!

[mercia]

he comes from Naples

does he? does that fit anything else? I've no idea about this radiophonic thing

[antongould]

someone called Rendine from the N word composed a Radiophonic opera in 126 parts but I want no part of this glory or whatever as I understand the rules say you cannot play from Debtors Prison!

No idea really, he befriended Farnellil the Casrato, who also came from Naples. I have a feeling the Radiophonic could be to do with wartime broadcasts? Would that fit in?

[Nick Armstrong]

And he comes from Naples!

You are volcanically hot there, Anna - a cerebral Vesuvius! You are almost there.... Come on! Another splash of Rioja! You are heading towards a conclusion and setting us a scintillating O (I infer, mon cher hercule, that you are not up for O? I sense you are acting as Eminence Grise here...)

EDIT: My delayed absence starts now. I expect to return in an hour to a Neapolitan clean sweep, Anna!

A musical broadcast on the radio is involved.

Hold Fast Sirrah, My Verry Fine Young Gennulman! Am I up to your exacting standards?

In Naples everyone lives in the intoxication of having forgotten himself. I barely recognise myself. Yesterday I thought either you were mad before, or you are mad now. - Goethe

I have no idea as to this. Can I read me book ?

[Nick Armstrong]

It's so near to completion, I'll leave it for some of the evening AA'ers to have a crack at finalising it.

You're the Cream in my Coffee

[Anna]

You're the Cream in my Coffee

You’re the salt in my stew;
You will always be my necessity--
I’d be lost without you.

Now, can you finish this puzzle off or will I have to sit up until midnight? Did Mrs. anton have a splendid time shopping?

Edit: I was away due to Master Chef

[antongould]

Good old Lew Brown
Reading back have we not got it?
Lady G had a lovely day thanks!
We are - lucky us - in Barcelona totally unaware of who left Masterchef!

[Anna]

Anton, Barcelona? Have they renamed the Newcastle Metro Centre? Oh well, as Marino Marini used to say, 'Up the Wooden Hills to Napoli! and a fish stew' Sleep tight.
