      Welcome back, rubberknickers. I trust your attempts to evade the attentions of the various constabularies along the M4 corridor were successful?

      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        You might, I suppose, call it that - a poor thing but mine own. Committee meeting tonight, for my sins.

            That's a bit cryptic, Siggy, isn't it? It's not a crossword! I'm lost! More please... :)

              I love all my new endearing names appearing here .. ..

              I wasn't intending to be cryptic. It is just that Y, is well; LIMITED in my little square inch of classical that I am aware of .. ..
              hmm.mm I'm thinkin".. ..

              DW and her brother are ant eaters.

              at your service,
              Siggy

              And please do go ahead for this is classical this Y, but I may be too elementary in where I am heading with Y.

                  I think I've got the first two....
                  (a) Yorkshire ('Countdown' originated in their Leeds studio)
                  (b) Yossarian (the initials are those of the bisexual orderly who persuades him to come down from the tree in Chapter 6 of 'Catch 22')
                  I must confess to still being a bit puzzled about (c).

                    Find Simon's circle in that! I think you've invented the Google-proof question, at least.

                      Good Morning,

                      Google Proof, NOT. Just a poor hinter, I am.


                      Who does DW adore ?

                      She and her brother have a mix up and invite ?

                      DW and her brother are ant eaters.

                      Thread of mine here is made of
                      *silk
                      *digital compositing
                      *DW is a girl
                      *DW's brother is a boy
                      *vibration of music DW adores is a said person who, instead of waking up said in-laws after performance, and locking one's self out of the house, slept at the front door, in thoughtfulness as to not disturb their sleep.

                      Yes, anteaters they are, DW and her family.

                      10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 BLAST OFF is simply child's play to commence the Y thread, silk of course. It comes from this

                      zoom, zoom, zoom we're going to the moon
                      if you want to ride my rocket ship ... ...
                      10, 9, 8 .........................

                      BLAST OFF

                      no hint in this. just an introduction.

                        Ah well, that makes things a lot clearer.

                          Hmm. It's almost too much information - where do we start?

                          The obvious ant eater (apart from an anteater) is the green woodpecker, sometimes known as the yaffle, which is at least the right letter. Is there a classical association with yaffles? Perhaps DW is Dotty Woodpecker, brother Spotty Woodpecker. Digital compositing implies perhaps a cartoon, but that's Woody Woodpecker? My brain hurts ...

                            Well a brother can be otherwise....

                            Anyways

                            DW and her brother, Arthur are digital composites as well as illustrated for the books by Marc Brown a real human like you and me.
