Alphabet associations - I

[Norfolk Born]

Hadn't realised there was anything alphabetical still going on in this thread?

Don't worry - I also have trouble keeping up! We seem to be on 'L', 'tho nobody seems to have had a crack at it yet.

Well, you're looking for a saint whose name is associated with a building that sounds (and no doubt once was) rural... and for the musical Academician who is associated with the building...

Academy of St Martin in the Fields ?

Lucie (Skeaping, Weidt)?

Academy of St Martin in the Fields ?

Sorry, folks .... had to find and order a new fridge for delivery before Xmas


SCB: spot on. So now find the individual and that should lead you on to the L.

Nothing to do with Lucie, NB, or with... Abban (whaaaaat???), Don.

Saint Abban - There were three of them, and you said a rural building? (A barn - geddit? )

There are some truly terrible puns on this forum today!



Come on folks!

Need a clue? Wonder when amateur's back from poking round a load of old mummies in Oxford? (That wasn't a clue, just wondering...)

Well I've just got back from hols (in Venice).

Sorry, nor did I. It seems the question is

What is the connecting L between:

1) Isol de an d Brünhilde
2) A rural-sounding saintly Academician
3) A favourite musical radio presenter

I think I have two and three - my only stab at one is as above... (Great Scott! The man's an oxonian... )

EDIT - but on second thoughts - Callipers didn't do Greek, so probably didn't have the Dictionary on his shelves...

I have no idea at present - perhaps the Rev. Smallbone will inspire me!

I don't understand your stab, vints.

Back after Rev !

Wow SCB! A hatrick

Sorry, vinrouge. But is this a contender for the double set of answers that fit perfectly? How does your first answer fit with Isolde and Brünhilde (apart from the word play you mentioned earlier)

Rev not quite so funny this time, but by heck, those writers really know how to end an episode, don't they! And some gem lines... ( and I guessed that the snow would mean that the Archdeacon turned up! )

"Eighteen hours in that departure lounge. On a bench. In front of Bagel Planet"

Wow SCB! A hatrick

Moving on:

an M to connect:

(1) a trumpeter who shot himself in the foot
(2) a pioneering harpsichordist
(3) the son of a coal merchant.
