Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

Perhaps I should clarify that it was Hindemith whom I met, not the Archbishop of Mainz.

But ... Nice meeting! How come? (You just pip me in the 'famous composers I have met' stakes )

Anyone for an easy B ?

What B is

- a space between vertical lines?
- a place for purchase of measures?
- a portable or mounted balancing aid?
- a baritone from Dresden?
- a vertical line between spaces?

May I join you in the Bar (with or without the umlaut)?

I hoped that was going move quickly, Caliban.

Your turn : C

I shall look for the composers met thread later.

Time for tea now.

[Nick Armstrong]

Sporting stuff, Angle, cheers! I need a little time to think up C. I had to set C last time, I recall - a whimsical number involving C-C-C-Coronation Street...

[Nick Armstrong]

Right, this was a bit impenetrable to start with so I've tweaked it, I think I've made it too easy but anyway, here goes: what C links an inspiring pair, Anton and Richard, who were given a bunch of fives 102 years apart; a bowling alley; and someone who said that if he listened to too much Wagner, he began to feel like invading Poland?

[vinteuil]

yes, too easy...

[Anna]

yes, too easy...

well, yes, maybe, yes, so do you want to post the answwer vinteuil? I cannot as after tonight I'll be offline for ages.

[Nick Armstrong]

yes, too easy...

Is that an ironic or an 'I know the answer but I don't want D so I'm not saying' ??

[vinteuil]

... Anna - I don't have a pertickler D to hand - I just wanted to show off...

[Anna]

We seem to be getting more expansive - I make that SIX things that are linked.

Really?! I can only find 4

Indeed, when you look more closely, that could be true. However, dinner calls.

[Angle]

The man who said he felt like invading Poland after listening to too much Wagner is Woody Allen and at that point I am blank. Hmmm, C.

What did he play?

[Angle]

Sadly, I can only find three parts


what C links

an inspiring pair, Anton and Richard, who were given a bunch of fives 102 years apart;

a bowling alley; and

someone who said that if he listened to too much Wagner, he began to feel like invading Poland?

How do you break up the first one to make two, Caliban?
