Alphabet associations - I

I have to admit, my first thought was Novello (except I thought his first name was Ivan - no idea he was Welsh!!!!!! real name David Ivor Davies ), but that was purely a gut reaction.

Further research yields that he played in two silent movies directed by "Alf" Hitchcock: The Lodger and Downhill, both in 1927, but I don't read anywhere about his demise, he seems to have done fairly well thereafter until his death, but Anna definitely knows more on the subject - await her return?

You've got them both, hodge

Anna got the breakthrough & the dodgy petrol rationing and we'd all love an Anna special, if that's ok with you hodge?

[hedgehog]

It's more than OK, I'll wait patiently

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes he did and no you're not Time for a J from Anna, though it's for Ams to say!

I agree!!! Good knowledge, but I fear that AA's will'o'the'wisp has absented herself... I long for an Anna puzzle!

[Nick Armstrong]

"Alf" Hitchcock: ... Lodger and Downhill

Great deduction and great question! A spiny J would be well-deserved should we indeed have lost Anna to the candied lemons and the hispi...

Oh yes please, Anna

We''ll brook no arguing, no false modesty & a-wriggling, y'hear?

2nded. I'll just curl up now for a late winter hibernate whilst Anna muses on a Jaunty question.

Over twenty-four hours and a big bowl of nada...

Anna being evidently otherwise engaged, maybe it's time for hedgehog to uncurl herself and produce a J?

Meantime, a small bonus Z linking a diminutive Don Juan, Cleopatra and the Oracle at Delphi...

She didn't argue.
She showed no false modesty.
She didn't keep stationery.

She just byggered off!

To be fair, it's not her turn on the rota to be stationery monitor

'Ang orn, aren't we meant to be on J?

Here I am in Penultima Thule (Inverness) and I find that the coleslaw has gorn orf and Caliban is cavorting with his quantum leaps again!

Z?? Z?? Referee!!!

Calm down dear!

Yes it should be J but we are awaiting one from Anna or hedgehog. Rather than poach, I thought I would chuck in a random, oft-shunned letter for the entertainment of the troops.

[Flay]

Calm down dear!

Oh, that's OK then...

Me? Moi? Ich?

I wouldn't take the Karl Michael, you know that!
