Be patient, cloughers. We were entertaining tonight. I thougt it might have been Quarters. Back to the drawing board. Think I'll sleep on it. Too much good wine...

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

My immediate thought (following on from mention of The Who in the previous cloughiequest) was Quadropnenia ... but "middle names"? So, not anything to do with Elvis or Schonberg?

[Flay]

No probably not. John Howard Carpenter didn't do Quatermass but was merely influenced by it, so it appears. Wasn't it Elvis Aaron Presley?

Like Heribert, Ritter von Karajan...?

Ritter (German for "knight") is a designation used as a title of nobility in German-speaking areas. Traditionally it denotes the second lowest rank within the nobility, standing above "Edler" and below "Freiherr" (Baron). For its historical association with warfare and the landed gentry in the Middle Ages, it can be considered roughly equal to the titles of "Knight" or "Baronet".
