      Oh! Bravo Ammy!! You've cracked it and no mistake

      I've been distracted by the snooker - it is electrifying! Anyone else watching? 15 games each and so now down to the best of three, to see who gets to 17 games first

      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              "balcony" is a well known euphemism

                  What I ….

                  In older days would have played with cat gut but being a modern chap uses anything from polyester, Kevlar, Vectran, Zyex or even metal?

                  Is closely associated with a garden flower and a heavenly body in professional life?

                  Is known primarily for playing an instrument descended from the vihuela, where the playing posture has been credited to the example of Moorish rabab players?

                  Two are decidedly musical; one is decidedly not

                    Talk about an open goal for Monsieur l'Amateur!!! And he pressed home his advantage...

                    Then a goose followed by a Gentleman's Excuse-Me in the Ballroom, perhaps?

                        The young Brit is through to the snooker final

                        Now, let's have a think about this 'ere "I"...

                            I admit that "Judd Trump" sounds like an anagram or a character in an off-colour cartoon show - but he's the Brit and Ding was eventually Trumped
