Lady G pushes you too hard, methinks.


Let's have an E to link:

A maternal waterfowl, a brothy reptile and a thermoplastic polymer from an unusually powerful visual aid

With apologies to all

Good Heavens Flay!
Have you been raiding your medicine chest together with a glass of whisky?

Ams51 will be apoplectic. At the same time it gives the chance for free association. Very probably wrong but Esmeralda Duck pops up in my head!

a Mother Goose unhelpfully pops into my head - what the heck does brothy mean ? something to do with soup ? - turtle soup

would an unusually powerful visual aid be something like a radio telescope ? with the thermo-doodah being a lens ? [not that that helps much]

Is it a reptile or an amphibian?

Yes but not turtle

It helps quite a lot. But a radio telescope is not visual. Try a shorter wavelength. The lens is good.

Is it a reptile or an amphibian?

It could be both. If it exists at all...

Edmund is a possibility for the Mother Goose and possibly the optical bit but I'm left with a nasty bowl of soup.
Are there musical links to all three?
Is there a Lewis Carol link?

Sorry, not Edmund. Yes all three are musical, although musicality of the latter would be debated by many here.

Sorry Tiggy, I missed your contribution. Not Esmeralda.

Is there a Lewis Carol link?

That question popped up after the others! No, not Lewis Carroll. Mercs is getting there. Any idea on the other two?

Could be the first goal-poach of the new season.

Elliott
A maternal waterfowl Mother Goose by James William Elliott.
a brothy reptile Composer of Clangers Vernon Elliott
a thermoplastic polymer from an unusually powerful visual aid Billy Elliott through the Lens

Then again it could just be an Elliott Mess.

[Flay]

Well the first two are correct.

But the third went well over the bar. Try again.

[mercia]

anything to do with Elliott Carter ?

No. What has a much shorter wavelength than radio waves?

[Flay]

And can you expand on the polymer?
