Alphabet associations - I

[Anna]

While we're waiting, and inspired by Anna's Y, may I offer a Z just for fun?
What Z links:
(a) Bad behaviour the year Hitler came to power
(b) Some really great-sounding fleshy fruit
(c) A Queen's Master of Music?

Dunno Ofca, I've been messing around with zombies and zeppelins!! Only possibles so far are

a) signing of agreement with Zionists (but that is only from google)
c) Handel - The Ways of Zion do Mourn

Edit: No, that must be totally wrong, can't find any fruits

It was just a pie and a pint!! I'm easily pleased, you know

Chilly wind out there, despite the beautiful sunshine and blue skies! Now: the snooooooker

Just a pie and a pint

Describe that pie!

Name that pint!

I'm lusting for details here [a day out in Bounds Green won't assuage this lust for long tha' knows]


How goes the snooker?

[Anna]

Ams, I was wondering about the pie as well, I suspect it was really posh don't you? Probably a Game one, not your usual Gastropub offering. Any thoughts on the Z?

Snooker just about to re-start - the evening session, to the death! (Metaphorically-speaking )

Just a pie and a pint

Not a posh pie at all - just a basic, very nice pork pie, with some salad and chutney... washed down with a pint of Shepherd Neame 'Spitfire' ale. One of my 2 or 3 favourites - along with Adnams' 'Broadside', Hook Norton's 'Old Hooky' and Ringwood's 'Old Thumper' I think. Those are rather more difficult to find in London...

I'll be thinking about the bonus "Z"...

Garçon! A pork pie for the man in the pork pie hat s’il vous plaît ! Spitfire ......... that's usually on offer at Wetherspoons! Caliban been slumming it? I am off (not to the snooker) but to my version of a gastropub meal. My butcher's finest homemade bangers, grilled cherry toms and mash. English mustard of course.

... wasn't Zelter Queen Victoria's music teacher?

Not sure it helps tho' ...

Oh, my eating habits are rather less sophistiqué than yours by and large, Anna

Z: there's really nothing to it.....

En l'année 19xx, j'étais un élève très méchant.

Eh bien, je reviens à dix heures - when I hope the class has learned to behave properly.

Mmmm a good pork pie is a wondrous thing of great pleasure & delight I reckon (especially if there's jelly involved - NOT the tangerine variety ).

Adnams' Broadside is one of my faves too, tho' in The Salusbury in Queen's Park I became famous in a kinda irritating way for being the dodderer who insisted on asking for 'a pint of Broadband' ... oh how they laughed & pointed!

Words, eh?

Slippery lickle suckers, I reckon

The only z-word my mind offers at the moment is 'zeugma' so there you go!

Zilch?

As in Fanny Zilch and Jonas Zilch Pomegranate?

[Norfolk Born]

Short of actually giving you the answer: What Z connects a 1933 French film, a track by the Smashing Pumpkins and a work by an English composer who sounds as if he's in a very happy state?
EDITED so as to make it even easier!

[antongould]

You go away for a few hours and it's time for Z already !!
