Alphabet associations - I

[antongould]

I think Flay got there well before me and with Anna's help I have only acted as an interpreter!

[Norfolk Born]

Well ... Flay seemed to hint at a couple of the songs involved, and antongould at a third. Four of the six singers have been named. No explicit mention yet, as far as I can see, of the 'D' word, and no mention of the fourth song.

[antongould]

Are we talking the Andrews Sisters, who seem to make Simon and Garfunkel appear as lifelong friends, Peggy Lee, Petula Clark and Julie Covington and a lot of very negative songs?

[Anna]

Are you ever going to spit it out anton or are you waiting for Flay?

[vinteuil]

... the Andrews Sisters, ... Simon and Garfunkel , Peggy Lee, Petula Clark and Julie Covington ...

(it's all right: I've taken my tablets... )

May I hazard a guess that the answer to the next puzzler will be 'The Everly Brothers'?

[Flay]

Are you ever going to spit it out anton or are you waiting for Flay?

Don't wait for me. You'll be waiting a long time... Just had 2 partners resign, one threatening to go on sick for "stress." It feels like I am going through a double divorce.

[Flay]

Don't cry for me.....

[Norfolk Born]

Are you ever going to spit it out anton or are you waiting for Flay?

I shall be offline between 1.15 and approximnately 4.00 p.m. Shall I 'spill the beans' and let you decide between you who gets to set 'E', or hope that somebody pops his or head above the parapet by the time I return?

[Norfolk Born]

Cross-posting! I think flay would (understandably, by the sound of it) really like somebody else to set 'E'. Any offers or shall I reveal all (ooh, matron!)

[Norfolk Born]

Time to move on, I think
London-born Julie Covington: Don't Cry For Me, Argentina
N. Dakota-born Peggy Lee: Don't Smoke in Bed
Epsom-born Petula Clark: Don't Sleep In the Subway Darling
Minnesota-born Andrews Sisters: Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me).
I'll leave you to decide who gets to set 'E' (Helpful hint: Don't mention Don and Phil )

[Anna]

Don't wait for me. You'll be waiting a long time... Just had 2 partners resign, one threatening to go on sick for "stress." It feels like I am going through a double divorce.

Really sorry to hear of your partnership troubles Flay and hoping that matters can be resolved quickly

[Flay]

Thanks, Anna. I have popped back here for a sniff of sanity.

I can't even find where I got the "don't be mean" song from this morning - it had a Surrey link.

Do you want an E? This is just a simple one-liner answer:

This E can be open in a shut case, but cannot easily be flattened.

[antongould]

Is this a legal in joke like evidence or something - if so we'd better wait for Rumpole's early morning meeting with the Mafia(?) to finish!
Sad I had been studying Don and Phil all day.

[Flay]

No, nothing lawful or unlawful
