      I wish I could! No, there is another W that will do for a later AA. I'll let the insomniac mercia finish off this W

        OK I'll try to finish it.

        The Lyke Wake Walk is funerial - but Barber set Nuvolette to excerpts from James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake (someone on the internet tells us it is where the daughter Nuvoletta-Isabel-Issy plays a death scene). I wouldn't know.

          Ah a man with a conscience! Barber is correct. No to Lyke-Wake ( that's not a W) It's Wake......and die. Easy enough!

                  Oh gosh. Let's have three Zs please. The military men, all must pass, one who framed more than 600 English works.

                    Well the clues seemed simple enough when I set them. However at the time I was still podged out from last night's meal. We went with friends to an Italian restaurant near Barnsley. The portions were enormous!

                    We attracted some odd looks, I suspect because our womenfolk were not tattooed (every other person in the restaurant displayed multiple patterns and designs )

                    The military men would not generally fly nor sail. The English works were all by the same person.

                      Only to be expected I guess! Hello Flay, long time and all the usual. Are you enjoying your retirement, I imagine you, in this sunny weather, gently rocking in a hammock with a G&T whilst reading Milton's Paradise Lost.
                      Not really playing, your 600 could be Mozart, Schubert or, perhaps Purcell? Just don't like no-one replying to you, so I did, out of the kindness of my heart.

                        And there was me, hoping for a clue

                        So what sort of noggins caused you to be so podged, Flay?

                          Hello I've been really busy trying to sort everything out - no rest just yet. And Mrs Flay thinks I should be looking for locum jobs..

                          Did I not say English? So that narrows your list down...

                            Glad you made it out alive from the Barnsley badlands!

                            Just popping by, we're about to go to Iron Man 3

                            (Enjoying Dr Who for once, Anna! Great writing from Mark Gatiss His are the only ones I can get on with... 'League of Gentlemen' Royston Vasey - style meets 'steam punk'... We'll have to watch the end back home later!!)
                            "...the isle is full of noises,
                            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                                Iron Man 3? As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
                                I thought Dr. Who was dreadful, I think I've finally grown out of it.....

                                Dear Flay, I have to go now, they're not all English are they? Oh well, someone will be along shortly with the answer, I'm sure.
