I have just put "chevaliers" in the google translator under French (in spite of your earlier telling us that it wasn't French) and guess what .... ?

It said "chevaliers"!

Language is such a difficult thing. No I meant that that part of the quiz didn't have a French answer. The answer there was, as mercia offered Cavalieri.

Anna has come up with Campion. Now for the stubborn (pig-headed) one, the accomplice and the slipper!

oh Ok, the slipper had an accident with a bicycle

[Nick Armstrong]

OOOOOH just saw this! Campion is correct!!!! So that leaves the pig-headed (stubborn) one and the accomplice!

Yet again Anna flushes the system!!

Though it seems as if that should be my department....



But I digest... err... digress....

I'm too easily distracted for AA

[hedgehog]

Exactly, application caliban, application!

(but my goodness, I didn't even think that syrup of figs existed! Well now....hmm )

[mercia]

Chausson [slipper] famously died after a bicycle accident

[mercia]

so we need a composer whose name (beginning with C) translates as stubborn

and a composer whose name (beginning with C) translates as accomplice

or not .......... as the case may be .........

[Anna]

Cavalieri, Campion - thus we have so far (I did like mercia's Campion the Wonder Horse) and then, possibly Chausson. Is there charcuterie involved re the pigs head, perhaps some brawn or chipolatas?
BUT, I have no idea know of what we are looking for!
All great fun though, as France once again seem set to be slaughtered! Who could ask for more on a gloomy Saturday afternoon!

Chausson is the slipper! No charcuterie is not involved - language wize - more chorizo!

Oh mercia - sorry yes

so we need a composer whose name (beginning with C) translates as stubborn

and a composer whose name (beginning with C) translates as accomplice

[Resurrection Man]

compere?

[Nick Armstrong]

I'm Confused....

Are we not therefore looking for a single C word or name (or at least versions in various languages of a single name) ... but just a collection of five different C names?

That's a rather different game from the AA model, no?

[mercia]

so Campion is English, Cavalieri is Italian, Chausson is French

we need the Spanish for pig-headed/stubborn or accomplice

Spanish for obstinate seems to be obstinado
Italian for obstinate seems to be ostinado
I've forgotten which language we're allowed to have twice

[hedgehog]

compere?

Compère (ahem )

[mercia]

Compère

could someone translate that for me so that I know what's left

[Resurrection Man]

so Campion is English, Cavalieri is Italian, Chausson is French

It's French and Spanish, I believe. Compère is the second French composer. But according to Google it translates into Compère in English! Which would leave our Spaniard as the stubborn one (where's that Thesaurus)...and as I am typing this probably someone has come up with it!

[Resurrection Man]

Got it...Cabezon.

Blimey..I think I'd rather do ten rounds with Mike Tyson!

Well not on my Google it doesn't! Compère is "the accomplice" so now to the pig -headed one ( head = cabeza )
