                indeed, well done sorry for delay, I fell asleep

                I'm afraid the convention of the game is you have to tell me why kiss - all the boring details

                then you get to set the next question

                  Do I really want to have to set the next one? L - I'll have to think hard. I'm not really into this yet.

                  Will get back with the answers soon - but rest assured I have found the four connections already. One is obviously Kiss Me Kate.

                      Or rather silly, like most of mine seem to be. I haven't been around lately to join in but - Welcome Dave!

                        Solution: Kiss me Kate - I hate men
                        Martinka and the smugglers - an opera by Smetana - Hubicka
                        The Poisoned Kiss or the Empress and the Necromancer , an opera by VW premiered in 1936
                        Kiss Waltz, Op 400 Johann Strauss II

                        Now I'll be off for a little while to find my "L" questions.

                          I really miss the AA thread! I just can't spend more than 5 minutes at a time at the jolly old computer these days - unless it's at work, which is still busy. Let's see what this weekend brings... (apart from the Corrie Omni - which I shall watch while doing some work this weekend ). Even now I find myself immured in one of the country's leading media institutions (also frequented sometimes by the Rubber One) wherein I must remain working for another hour...

                          Greetings to all Alphabetical challengers and musers and solvers
                          "...the isle is full of noises,
                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                            OK here goes: L

                            Sleep maybe

                            All out for 626 in the Roaring decade

                            NASA employs these

                              Is it Lehar?

                              June Mary Gough (Bronhill) best known for Merry Widow
                              Lehar is an astronoid belt, does NASA look at it, use it for something?
                              Is the second one The Roaring Twenties that used Lehar's music? 626 is a Packard used in the film.

                              Actually, not too sure now but I'll leave this posted and go to bed and think about things.

                                the operetta Lilac Time ran for 626 performances in 1922
                                I don't think it is a Lehar opus but it is an L
                                June Bronhill recorded Lilac Time
                                there's a Lilac Fairy in the Sleeping Beauty but I think I'm heading in the wrong direction
                                having googled NASA/lilac it would appear that lilac trees/bushes are studied in the US to observe climate change

                                wouldn't it be funny if this was all total b*ll**ks? (my answer that is)
