      ... if you put "Kinderlieder, , and a jolly good Falla"

      it becomes clear that is a discrete item, the second clue...


      Just a thought.
      sorry

        can't think of an O question, unless you can wait a few days

        perhaps the vint can ?

          Yes, spurned as ever for my humble attempts to contribute whilst threatened by the bared teeth of the old dog, work.

          Ho hum! But I am happy to be the instrument of so many moments of satisfaction in the life of our dear vinrouge!

            May I presume to set an O?

            No doubt, judging by recent form, by the time I've finished typing, vindetable will have posted #24710 being an elegant O question.

            Just in case I get in first, here's one:
            an O linking a musical motorbiker, an Everton FC hero, and a young man from the Kalevala

            PS: wow! I made it!

                    The only Everton O link I can find is Leon Osman - where this fits the rest I haven't a clue!

                      The Everton connection is to do with Duncan Ferguson

                          Osmo Räihälä composed a piece called Barlinnie Nine dedicated to DF. Presumbly Osmo Vänska is also involved in some way?

                            There's a 'young man' called Osmo in the Kalevala; Osmo V seems to enjoy motorcycling; DF was at Everton when Osmo R wrote his piece.

                              Northender you beauty. Well done. A bit obscure all that, but I thought someone would get it

                              Yes - Osmo

                              Biker Osmo Vanska
                              Osmo Räihälä, composer, an Everton fan who wrote "Barlinnie Nine" dedicated to Ferguson (who apparently did time in Barlinnie jail - seems a rather backhanded title )
                              The 'young man' of the Kalevala.

                              Well done Northo - tho it sounds as if mercia's inklings were making themselves felt

                                Osmo, Osman what's in a name! Why on earth would anyone want to write a piece for DF? Did he not top the Red Cards for the Toffees?
