          Brill I was still recovering from Cloughie's apparent leap from ocelots to Kodaly in #28376

          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Oh 'eLL!!

            Here's an easy one for over-night - I'll be off-line all day tomorrow!

            Which 'L' links an Ursa Major to various Zodiacal signs and Anna May Wong?

                  There's a pub called The Plough in Limehouse. Just a thought.

                    Fortunately I'm still alive. Anna May Wong was in Limehouse Blues. I cannot connect this with the zodiac yet. I need a ouija board for this one

                      Are you still in hospital Flay? Looking forward to your NHS dinner?
                      Only just looked at this. Ursa Major isn't connected to any zodiac sign, even looked at Chinese ones but nothing sprang out. Are we looking for bears I wonder or an Ursula? Maybe music/title from an Anna May Wong film. No idea, and I think Roslyn is offline all today so we must await a clue.

                        Thanks, Anna Home now, it was just day case surgery. All I had was an egg mayo butty fortunately. I'm a bit sore but can't complain.

                        I was trying to find a plough link. I still wonder about Limehouse. We shall see. Time for a kip!

                          It's always the "easy" ones which are hardest to solve!!

                          Still digging around when I can. I've learnt some fascinating things about Ursa Major and Ms Wong (of whom I confess I had not previously heard )

                            Moi aussi M'learned I thought I was well on the way with When Were You Born one Wong film with someone named after each sign of the Zodiac or some such nonsense........

                              Very briefly online...

                              All good wishes to Flay, firstly - glad you're OK.

                              Plough and Limehouse - afraid not...

                              Zodiac should be the biggest and most helpful clue.

                              Someone mentioned a bear - good thinking.

                              Anna May Wong perhaps needs a little more dedication.

                                Perhaps the ever Constant Lambert?
