      Oh, have they moved Bradford South of Watford? edit: Clue was used to be Northern, now Southern

        Where do you get that idea from, blodyn? Bradford Bulls used to play (soccer) in the Northern League when Mr Waring bought his Hovis for 'a'penny.

          Blodyn, Blodyn, get your Welsh names right, it's Blodwyn ferney!
          Excuse me, who, apart from you and cloughie, would know such an obscure reference? What an odd question this is!

            Sorry; it being a "northern" thing, I was trying to be clever and call you "flower"!

              To be truly accurate should it be Blodwen ?
              You and your fancy Rugby union, I'll tidy up the clue Bradford Northern in the old Rugby League, when the cash was splashed to make it the Superleague, they became Bradford Bulls. This was about the same time when payment to Rugby Union plyers was legalised! The phoney amateurism went and RU teams were made or broken!

                Oh. Source of all knowledge. I am going to have lunch and then watch some RUGBY UNION!

                  ... does Rugby League really use egg-shaped balls? viz with one pointy end and one rounder end??

                  For Rugby Union the balls used are oval. I knew that the League was weird - I didn't realise it was that weird!

                    Oval - egg-shaped - as in not round like soccer!

                      Just popped in for a quick update....Bradford Bulls, Ole Bull, The Lonely Bull - clever stuff, cloughie!
                      I've just remembered that we have an afternoon concert of piano duets at the local church, so I shall have to record the rugby and we shall watch it upon our return. fhg seems to have made a major contribution to the solution, and I'm quite happy for him to proceed with the next question if that meets with general approval.

                        Quite frankly, I'm fed up with measuring the size of rugby league v rugby union balls, can someone please finish this off? Oh, Norfy has done so, it seems. What a weird question that was.

                          What was the title of Etta James' hit?

                          I really don't deliberately make them difficult.

                            Well, only after the "bull" had been identified! I was thinking "Herb" meant "Karajan", then I got really clever and started investigating "Hancock"!

                            I'll come up with a C to keep things active til Norfs gets back from the Duets: what a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

                              A "Wiki-Quickie":

                              This C composed Sonatas (including Pyramids and Stars) and Preludes and Fugues, but didn't write them. They're quite well-known, but nobody's ever played them.

                                Wonder what the programme is.
