          Thank you ladies and gentlemen. I am grateful for this opportunity to have another crack at the G, but I could not have done it without the fantastic dedication and support from Anna and mercs.

          Tom Jones - Green Green Crass
          The Move - "I Can Hear the Grass Grow"
          And Denn alles Fleisch es ist wie Gras (For all flesh is as grass)

          Well I have just found and munched some M&S Christmas pud found in the cupboard, best before 1/3/13. Delicious.

          I also found an Xmas pud dated use by 28/2/12. Now dare I risk that?

              Well done, Flay. Thank you for such a gracious acceptance speech. Your answers provide all the necessary coleslaw, except perhaps the fact Roy Wood co-founded The Move and then went on to become a member of Wizzard.

                      In order of appearance:

                      Symphony nr 38 "The Echo
                      Symphony nr 6 "The Morning"
                      Symphony nr 96 "The Miracle"

                      by one Franz Joseph Haydn.

                      I might take longer than 4 minutes on the next question....
