    Gold medals shared between mercs and Cali:

    To be open and honest, I just chucked that clip in for a giggle on the GOLD theme, didn't occur to me it might be the answer ... You mean the first two chords presumably?

    I think it's HIGH TIME for mercia to entertain and delight us!

      needless to say I don't wish to set a question
      is the goldfinger theme a succession of E major / C major chords ???

          I don't know what that bit of 'andbags was all about nor do I really care.

          Who's doing H then?

              Oh, a sweet little voice at the back of the class is it? You just watch that I don't flick some ink pellets at you!

              I think, re Goldfinger, they are transposed into E major (so the Gold 1 becomes E major/C major and back again, that sort of thing)

                Tulen synty is the Finnish title of a cantata by Sibelius. It translates as 'Origin of Fire'. I guess Tapiola must have been referring to something else.

                  It's been said before but I'll say it again: one never ceases to learn from this thread. I am a Sibelius fan but had never heard of it !

                      That is a very relevant thing to ejaculate, Anna, though not the answer! Or was it just a random outburst of joy?

                      If the former, please go on and then we can have an Anna I and none of that 'oh I'm going offline for hours' mullarkey!!!!

                            I cannot say, probably sheer joy, but it would be unwise to speculate as to whether balls were involved in this. And, I am really offline now.

                                All 3 received the equivalent of legion d'honneur. But with you clue setting that would have been too easy!
