Alphabet associations - I

[vinteuil]

... are we looking for something Cajun? [cos if so, I'm out... ]

[Lateralthinking1]

Sorry Anna. I'm really sorry but no. There is now something from Drieu etc, a hop to Cow Island which is in Vermillion, Louisiana, and a song without words from de Falla. I really do think I should have the next question. It has been a day back at the office, albeit a nice one.

vinteuil - One of the strands has a cajun link. Another is classical music and the remaining one is another serious art form. All lead to the same F.

[Anna]

Cow Island is a record label?

[vinteuil]

My last word on the subject is Eugène Fromentin!! Not that has anything to do with it but I enjoyed saying it

O, Fromentin is good. I think he was a subject on the "What am I reading" thread some time back. Those of us what had read him came to the conclusion that, tho' we had enjoyed his Dominique when we read it as younglings - we probably wdn't feel up to re-reading it now. I think.

[vinteuil]

a hop to Cow Island .

... he keeps saying " a hop " - I feel sure that's significant....

[Lateralthinking1]

Yes it is significant. And it isn't a record label.

[Anna]

Rayne, Louisiana is the Frog Capital of the World

not a lot of people know that

Oh well done mercia, that made me laugh! The things you know is amazing .... now, can you please post the answer?

[Lateralthinking1]

Ah mercia, and to think this all began with your etincelles. It is now so much bigger.

[Lateralthinking1]

Should I say then?

[Nick Armstrong]

Heart of Darkness was ... an opera

Ah! I had no idea (no change there, then)

Sadly I am offline by and large till this time tomorrow (partners' conference outside London tomorrow ) Those pesky partners, eh Mr Flay? Are yours quiescent, more or less?

[Lateralthinking1]

I think I had better say in 2 minutes and 45 seconds (unless I hear to the contrary).

[Anna]

oh dear, is it all my fault ?

speaking personally I think it may be time to put me out of my misery with F

No, of course it's not your fault mercia. This question has now been ongoing for 8 hours. I think the record was the extremely strange E posted by Caliban. Remember the forum closes at 10pm tonight..... so get your answers in before then! I think I'm totally giving up at this point. even our wonderful Dumbledore finds Hogwarts does not have an answer to this ... And whoever got the Falla gets the next question (I forget who it was, possibly vints)

[Lateralthinking1]

I feel that this is a message for us to soldier on.

[Anna]

I feel that this is a message for us to soldier on.

Well, the obvious answer is: You and whose Army?

[Lateralthinking1]

I will say then. In one minute.
