Alphabet associations

[Norfolk Born]

I generally spin through the Corrie omnibus at weekends (believe it or not, for professional reasons)... The main highlights seem to me to come from the magnificent Eileen - her one liners, delivered with perfect timing by Sue Cleaver, rarely disappoint

Sally Webster is one of the most subtly disagreeable people in Weatherfield, I think - another great performance - but I suspect you are not referring to her character traits... ?

I agree with you about Eileen. The suspicion which you voice in your second paragraph could not be described as wide of the mark.
Perhaps we could compare notes on the characters of whom we would most like to get rid....

Haven't really looked at this before. Double sharp springs to mind. Isn't that an X on manuscript?

congratulations! - X is the answer : a double sharp
hence the use of 'chance' - / accident-al

very clever - double sharp, orwellspeak
a double sharp turns A into B
a large whisky, quick! - a double, sharp!

[Norfolk Born]

Double sharp springs to mind.

Aha! Another Eileen fan - double sharp describes her ripostes pretty well!

[Don Petter]

It was really the whisky that did it for me! (What does that say about my musical interests versus my alcoholic ones, I wonder?)

Have I got Y again? Or do we jump to A? I'll think on Y for a bit ...

[Norfolk Born]

Yes, well done DP!

a large whisky, quick! - a double, sharp!

I really should have got it, the number of times people demand a double Scotch at the double in the Rovers Return. Are you going to give us a 'Y' or 'Z' or proceed to 'A'?

[Don Petter]

It was rubbernecks who suggested going straight to 'A' a while ago, but vinteuil ignored him. It's reall up to vint to say, as he's passing the baton.

As it happens, I do have an 'A' question left over from an earlier round and ready to go, but I don't mind trying to think of a new 'Y'.

o Don, I think you shd go for whatever suits! ...

[Don Petter]

Hmm! Well, I was just honing a fairly conventional 'Y', but that could mature until sometime later, as I think the 'A' might be a tiny change of angle. (Ofca may not be pleased.)


Here goes (I hope this question is still valid, as I haven’t been there for a while):


Which A is a nightly invitation at the RFH?

(The answer is numeric.)

[Norfolk Born]

Don't mind me - I'm happy gawping at the picture of Peter Barlow's 'other wife'

[Caliban]

Basically, you name between 3 and 6 words or short phrases, and ask for the thing that links them together. You have to do it in alphabetical order, so that the first answer starts with an A, the second B etc.

Have we drifted a little from the original ethos of this thread? I suppose there may be 3 or more indications compacted into that phrase, Don. RFH... nightly... invitation...

Is the the numerical 'A' answer music-related? Does it still go without saying that all solutions have a classical music connection?
