    I thought so - I would never have got anywhere without his #s 37329 & 37345.

    Good puzzle, Flay

      Whether he wants it is another matter
      I think the honour goes to ferneyhoughgeliebte. I just filled in a few gaps.

        Darn! Thought I'd got away with it!

        Ho Hum:

        Put your feet of clay into leaden boots and, with a little extra decimal energy, you get an obstinate song.

        Huh?

            No - a little further west for the origin of some of the answer.

                No - a couple of my puny clues here. Stick, for the time being with "feet of clay". (Incidentally, this whole puzzle originates in your use of this phrase in the last puzzle, and my forgetting which letter we were on! )


                PS: ooh! "Joules" is still incorrect, but if you're thinking in the way I think you're thinking, you're thinking along the right lines! Don't leave this Planet, though.)

                    If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, you don't need an "S" where I think you're thinking you need one. (You do need an "s" in the answer, but not towards the end, which is what I think you were thinking.)

                      Huh?!
                      "...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 Ferney is suggesting that flay has over estimated.......

                            I think that Flay is on the right lines - if he would chance a suggestion, I think everything will become clear. (I can't go into any more detail without giving away the answer.) This is a much easier puzzle than the IRCAM Advent calender - honest!

                              Well the clay lead me to Simon Holt. But I can't associate the obstinate energy.

                                Did you really miss my terrible pun, or is this just an honest and fair minded attempt at inclusivity?

                                ( a person brain numb from an 8 hour round trip drive to Norwich asks......)
