      Tesco was very different. That said, despite the aisles being like a busy dodgem track, I slipped through a till with no queue as well...

      Ding dong!

      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          I did T last time and I've done a recent puzzle, so may I request T at Subby's?
          No, no, it's a night at the opera or alone with an airship.

            ... and it was a little unfair to overlook your splendid recent contribution. So

            A T that combines

            Music for a statue
            A Flower song
            and a stella cast.
            So now we have two Ts.

              Was your post #11031 the puzzle?

              Genius! I've deleted mine (it can do for later) yours is much more intriguing.

                  First thought and the only T to occur to me so far is that the Marx Bros film "A Night at the Opera" was produced by Irving Thalberg, still commemorated every year with a special award at the Oscars. I hastened to Wiki to see if he made a movie about the Hindenburg or something, but my hopes were dashed. So I suspect Thalberg it ain't

                    Look for a more recent incomplete Canadian "A Night at the Opera".

                      Sorry, in between family duties this evening, I haven't got anywhere with this. A group called The Canadian Tenors did a show called A night at the Opera but I don't suppose that has anything to do with airships...

                      Hope some early birds will tease out the three worms here

                        must applaud Rumpole for trying so hard but this early bird is getting nowhere - we are not talking Queen are we?

                          No. You might do better starting at the two ends. They are less obscure than the middle.

                            so No No and the singular Zeppelin are we talking R3 stuff?

                              Zeppelin is the correct link. The commas in "No, no, " are significant.
