    Thank you for your crypticism you should be looking for a T which appears in a work by Karg-Elert, a LP title of spike Jones and a film in which Bob Hope appeared.

        Here's how I imagine Cloughie in cryptic mode!

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

          I think you've got it, mercia! There seems to be a piece by K-E called ' Now Thank We All Our God' (Nun danket alle Gott).

                        First time today I've been able to concentrate on this.

                        So in addition to

                        Sigfrid Karg-Elert's ' Now Thank We All Our God' (Nun danket alle Gott).

                        Spike Jones album is Thank you Music Lovers

                        we have

                        Bob Hope's "Thanks for the Memory' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanks_for_the_Memory... I think?
                        "...the isle is full of noises,
                        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                          She did, she did!

                          Maybe she would like U?

                            No, merely giving you a gentle nudge in what I hoped was the right direction! Not really playing, very busy and want to get things finished because ......... (you will not believe this!) I want to see most of England v France which is early kickoff so I'm off now until quite a lot later.

                              You've got the bug!

                              Just settling down for it myself...

                              The U seems to be between you, northender, mercia and me.

                              Happy to oblige but northender: please go ahead if you have something in mind!

                                Not quite the bug, more just interested if England are going to be revitalised under new management and curious about the French team (which no doubt you will be supporting!)

                                I don't have a clue about a U anyway and I don't like posting a poser and then disappearing for hours, not really fair to others. Edit: I could do a very quick and easy V if Northender or mercia doesn't want to oblige with a U. Actually, scrub that last sentence, I hadn't realised it was gone half four already.
