      But had been wondering if ferney put semolina in his lemon drizzle cake, not that that helped!
      Not "his lemon drizzle cake", but "my lemon drizzle lemon cake".

      (Or cloughie's "only lemon drizzle cake")

        And there was me thinking that you'd just got a touch of the Nigella Lawson about you: my granola bars, etc!

          Well - if it gave her pleasure, I'd not object too vociferously.

            "Ylem is a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen for a variable ensemble of 19 or more players, and is given the work number 37 in his catalogue of compositions."



            a veritable stockade of Stockhausens

              a veritable stockade of Stockhausens
              - but more specifically (to quote from the WIKI article) The score is dedicated to the composer’s son Simon, who was five years old at the time of composition.

              ... and a photograph of the infant Simon Stockhausen appears as the frontispiece of the score of the work.

              So - the coleslaw:

              Simon Stockhausen two Ss fer the price of one:

              "patronised" by appearing in the score of his father's Ylem (the letters of which appear, crosswordwise, in "mY LEMon drizzle cake";
              worked with his half-brother ("fraternally"), the trumpeter Markus Stockhausen in the Trio APARIS, one of whose recording releases was called Despite the Firefighters' Efforts;
              has produced many film scores and solo albums on his own, one of which is Trip to Asia.

              The second generation of Stockhausen Musicians (there is also a sister, Majella) warrant greater exposure in the UK than they currently receive (APARIS' work got some airplay back in the day).

              Time for T (or alternative) at mercs' - to whom all is due!

                      Nice one, mercs!
                      But I'm going to let someone else play this one out.
                      I like the sting in the tail, though.

                      But googling took me down a rather dodgy path, at least here in the Thames Valley. I've learned some new police slang! Such a sheltered life I lead.

                        It is indeed. And I just had a nice cuppa too!

                              I've a feeling of déjà vu, but:

                              Will we ever find the U?

                                Well done, Flay.

                                So, did anyone else know that a cup of tea is slang for sex?
                                Not just in Thames Valley Police Authority, it seems.
