Would you like some ketchup? There could be connections:

TIVERTON PREEDY (1863 - 1928) "The founder of Barnsley Football Club... ...Once ordained he was dispatched to Barnsley in 1887 as a cleric at the church of St Peter. He founded the club in what was then a predominantly rugby town as a way of engaging with the working classes."

there is a very strong possibility that Tiverton's brother would have officiated at the funeral and subsequent burial of the noted artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti who died on 9th April 1882 and is buried in the local churchyard. (Rosetti was the brother of poet Christina Rossetti, the critic William Michael Rossetti, and author Maria Francesca Rossetti, and was a founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt). Strange to think of a connection between the founder of Barnsley FC and the Pre-Raphaelites!

Not so clever as to realize that I'd have to set the D if I got it right! It was the "Secret" "Marriage" that did for me - a delightful bonbon of a piece, recorded by Barenboim back in the late '70s. I need help with the "unexpected" "scam", because my Italian isn't up to the list of titles in Wiki!

Those are both marriages too. I used Google Translate so their meanings may be slightly different.

Blimey! He wrote a lot of "marriage" operas, didn't he!
"Unexpected" = I matrimoni impensati (1784)
"Scam" = Il matrimonio per raggiro (1778)
"Secret" = Il matrimonio per segreto (1784)

As opposed to the police in all the voices? Actually no chance - in fact, was it just me, or was the plot of last Saturday's episode exactly the same as the one from the week before?

Awesome coleslaw indeed. Such Dedication!
