    Participation and the addictve nature of AA are one thing - but pre-meditated preparation of clues puts it on a seriously worrying higher plane.

      I recall, about 9 months ago, I asked if AAers had little notebooks with pre-prepared clues as people came up with new puzzles instantly. It was vigorously denied by one and all and I was told 'oh, it's all spur of the moment stuff' ......
      But, to be fair to Flay, he has been laid up in the spare room for two weeks recovering from his Op and has had nothing else to do but fiddle with his ipad 24/7

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

          The kids would rightly say that I'm sad. Admit it, we're all addicted to this idiocy.

          I usually add a word or name to the list then cannot remember why I put it there. But forgive me, I have been whisked away (again ) by Mrs Flay, we are out for the evening with friends, so cannot play now.

          But Idle reminds me of du Prez???

            If that's a crack at the clue you need to go to Specsavers!

              The only Ilde I came up with was an Ildebrando, cannot go further and I have to be offline now, until very late.

                      Well I'm struggling with Ilde. I have found this (translated by Google hence pidgin english):

                      Four parks "colored" rose.
                      Argenta: inaugurated parks named after Ilde Brunazzi, Nives Gessi, Lucia Recalchi Grillenzoni and Pauline Calura

                      ARGENTA. Four parks in the territory silvers were equally dedicated to women who, in various fields, illustrated Argenta. A gesture of gratitude by the municipality that has materialized, yesterday morning, with four separate ceremonies very significant in the presence of the mayor and councilor Antonio Fiorentini equal opportunities Isabetta Gòmedi.
                      It began on a Bulgarina, Argenta, with the park located at the intersection of Via Corticelli, which was dedicated to the soprano Ilde Brunazzi (1905-1977). Very excited and grateful to the City was the family.... etc.

                              Yesterday, when I posted Ildebrando it was because I found nothing for Ilde. So I used my initiative and came up with Ildebrando Pizzetti and was going to make a joke about it being Friday night so that meant Pizza and beer for one and all! But that is as far as I got as I went offline and I doubt if he had anything to do with the puzzle. With all this talk of Gentiles are we in Biblical territory?

                                That was a spurious comment about eyesight, not to do with the answer.

                                I've been trying to find a Harp link without success.
