Alphabet associations - I

... then the passing affair reference... then the emergence from trap 3 of the toxic one amid the gurgling of the flushing lav. (Where's a :vomit: smiley when you need one???)

You can always rely on Caliban for exquisite detail

[Norfolk Born]

I'd be inclined to offer Caliban first refusal, as his detail was far superior.

Perhaps the two of you would like to toss a metaphorical coin or something? Or exchange PMs and come up with a fiendish joint question? You're equally deserving of the honour of setting the next question.
(Time for lunch - logging off for a while).

Tapiola was the first to mention 'Tuxedo Junction', while Caliban added the exquisite detail (to quote Colin Powell). I would be inclined to offer 'N' to Tapiola, if that's OK with Caliban.

Oh, my goodness, yes - I just filled in the final piece based on a very generous clue. And anyway Taps also got the original "M" solution viz Miller.

Anyway, I'm off out for an hour or two. Go for it Tapiola.

[Tapiola]

Ahh, Caliban, I have just PM'ed you. Thank you anyway. A straightforward N, I hope:

"I aint never been a Marxist", he said intolerantly.

[Tapiola]

3 elements to this one, I should add.

And a quick question to all Floydies - Who is the only non-Floyd male ever to sing on a Pink Floyd album?

Roy Harper?

[Tapiola]

Have a cigar, young man!

Yes the brilliantly infuriating and infuriatingly brilliant Roy Harper.

[Nick Armstrong]

A straightforward N, I hope:[/B]

I have no idea how one might unpack your succinct phrase into 3 elements and then distil a musical "N" ...!

I shall cogitate as I drive!

[rubbernecker]

I shall cogitate as I drive!

You know what happened last time you tried that...!


I don't know how to unpack T's N either. It's pretty tightly wrapped.

[Tapiola]

Laters, gentlemen and ladies. Shall check back in an hour or so...

[Anna]

. A straightforward N, I hope:

"I aint never been a Marxist", he said intolerantly.

Is the double negative referring to Luigi Nono? (who was at one time leader of the Italian Communist Party) but I don't see where I might be going with this!

[rubbernecker]

Is the double negative referring to Luigi Nono?

Anna, If I were a woman and you were a man I think I'd want your babies. Yes, Nono was a Communist...

...and wrote something called Intoleranza, 1960

[Tapiola]

Is the double negative referring to Luigi Nono?

Yesyes.

Between you, Anna, and rubbernecker you've resolved all elements.

Nono - purveyor of the most beautiful dissonances.

Claiming the majority of the solution, is it Anna's O?

[Anna]

Anna, If I were a woman and you were a man I think I'd want your babies.

Steady on rubbernecker, you'll have Caliban telling us to get a room again!

[Anna]

Yesyes.

Claiming the majority of the solution, is it Anna's O?

Well, I just knew it was Nono (pub quiz mode again!) but rubbernecker has more knowledge than me with regard to Intoleranza so I'm willing for him to continue with O as I have nothing prepared and today is a Rugby afternoon! (England v Italy just started and then it's Scotland v Wales)
