No, I am offline now, I would have nominated Calban (but, he just didn't get Dr. Who) so I nominate Rubbers. Who is more cool. See you in the morning. -

It was a genuine enquiry about Delia Derbyshire (& was going to be accompanied by a quip about Cuthbert Cumbria but I had to do some work...

Most of these 250,000 views are me popping in, looking at the clues, then making my excuses and leaving quietly because most of the time I haven't the foggiest.
This E has me completely flummoxed, for example.
Here's to the next quarter million...

To complete the answer (whilst waiting for rubbernecker to reappear):Originally posted by subcontrabass View Post
Ezio is the title of:
(a) a band, who had two songs selected by the last UK Prime Minister but one for his Desert Island Discs
(b) an opera by Handel
(c) two versions of an opera by GluckComment

Ezio Auditore da Firenze (1459 – 1524) was a Florentine nobleman during the Renaissance and, unbeknownst to most historians and philosophers, a Mentor and leader of the Italian Assassins

Anyone with friends or relations who are adept upon the computer games console knows that! One of the best games I've ever seen played recounts the adventures of Ezio Auditore. The graphics are quite astonishing. I love the one where he stalks his prey through the Mont St Michel....Originally posted by Anna View PostEzio Auditore da Firenze (1459 – 1524) was a Florentine nobleman during the Renaissance and, unbeknownst to most historians and philosophers, a Mentor and leader of the Italian Assassins

But as regards the game here - how on earth did anyone know about Gluck's two Ezio operas? Well done indeed.Comment
