Good try, mercia, but no correct answers so far. I'm off to work soon, so shan't look in until this evening, so do all move onto B if A causes too much confusion. A quick clue before I go. Look east for your fair maid...Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....

I've been going through specific pasta dishes with an A but not getting anywhere. There is a pasta aurora but drew a blank with that as well. So, I am stumped, it has to be a surname I think.

Ethiopia and Egypt are a bit further east than Southend
Ada Pullen is thought to have been the inspiration for Pygmalion which was the basis for My Fair Lady.
There is a cold pudding called Pasta Aida Mollenkamp at http://www.foodnetwork.co.uk/recipe/...kamp-chef.html
There's a Spanish sitcom called Aida but it's hardly about a Lady or a fair maid.
None of these are what you might call musical except by association
Any other Aida connections?Last edited by Angle; 30-05-11, 10:46.

Just returning to this, still totally baffled. Aida seems a bit tenuous, if it's the soprano that mercia suggested is it the roles that she has sung?

Hi Vinteuil and Anna, with Aida I am grasping at straws, truly up a gum tree.
However, I don't feel so bad knowing we all seem to be in the same boat. Now, what other metaphors could I use ?
Shall come back this evening when, with any luck, the solution to the puzzle will have been revealed.

Horrible day here, it's been chucking it down, and quite chilly, so I'm not going out and will continue to pop in the see if anyone has a clue.
Edit: There is a very thin pasta called Cappellini d'Angelo (angel hair pasta) it seems.
