      Well that blows my second theory out of the water! And now, I guess, the George is not Handel but Michael!

        Oh probably.... Four letters ending in 'na' - they're all the same on a Sunday morning after far too little sleep

        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            I've commented before on Chris Gascoyne's acting. It's never less than very good, and frequently the best anywhere on the telly. The lady wife and I repeatedly sit there saying 'Peter - you're a fool', but he won't listen, will he?

            In contrast, sadly, Anne Kirkbride and William Roache (Ken and Deirdrie) seem to be going through the motions. While this may be understandable given the way their offspring have turned out, I would have thought they could have developed a wider range of facial and verbal expressions over the years.
            Indeed - but they're like the gargoyles at the entrance to the cathedral (and there's a few more on the cast): grotesque, unchanging, highlighting the quality of the rest...

            Yes I remember you commenting on his acting before, Norfs...

            Few things more satisfying on the box than to see stupid, nasty Sally Webster given her comeuppance (Who's the AA'er who held a candle for her?? Not you, Norfs? Was it Taps?! )

              Clues anyone?

              (Corrie's finished - I thought The Deed was already done... rather a let down... Have to wait till next weekend for some real catharsis... )

                I did wonder if you'd already given a hint: there's an opera by Vivaldi called L'Incoronazione di Dario but I haven't found any comparable "Corries" by Georges Gershwin, Antheil or Butterworth (and Handel's Coronation Anthems would be cheating!) or Nicola-s LeFanu or Sani.

                So a cluelette would be welcome here!

                  OMG, I said ages ago Sally Webster was, well, not very nice (I'm being polite) when she was being horrible to (sorry I cannot remember who) but it was Norfy I think what held a candle (probably a candelabra or even two) in her defence.

                  OMG Mark II. This thread has been derailed by Corrie! And who was it who remarked upon Dreary Deidre and her neck veins? Oh, I do miss Mad Becky!!

                  Ahem, 45 mins to kick off. Are we all rather over excited? There will be tears before bedtime

                    You're sniffing around the right sort of area.... nothing to do with Corries through - wrong ceremony

                    The three names in the question are indeed all the first names of composers.

                        So, it's either a wedding or a funeral. The more cynical amongst us would say that both amount to the same fate. <world weary sigh emoticon>

                          I'm sure they may have played music by all three composers but that's not the I in question.

                            Actually, Cariad Caliban, that's Goddess, rather than God. I do have the usual female secondary sex characteristics although I am pleased you credit me with some wisdom! Shall I do a Cassandra and rummage in a chicken's entrails to predict the score this afternoon?

                              Trying to be politically-correct - does the habit of calling all thespians, irrespective of gender, "actors" not apply to deities then?

                              Plus I was trying to give a CLUUUUUUUUUUUE !

                              Go on then - what's the score going to be?

                                Ireland win by either 1 or 2 points, OR
                                France win by 20 points.
                                I dunno, the chicken wouldn't submit to the evisceration!!
                                I'll catch up with you apres le match
