There’s a W at mid-day,
there’s one in the west
and two are known to be Russian.

Am I having even more blonde moments? Just looked at the R4 schedule for next Friday - anton and Ofca meant - Desert Island Discs!! Something I never listen to. I thought it must be some indepth stuff. Oh well, I'll give it a whirl. I like Dirk Bogarde, I saw a film with him called "Victim" not so long ago (ignore me and talk amongst yourself whilst I whitter on) about blackmail, very good it was I thought. Pre Wolfenden and all that. Seems odd don't it now, those attitudes?

I think I saw that in 1955 or 1956 [EDIT, no it was about 1962] - probably seems very dated now, Anna. Those were the days when all non-homosexuals held real power over those who were gay, most of whom lived in a state of fear of exposure and prosecution.Comment

Angle, it was on Film 4 and repeated recently. Yes, terribly dated I guess and rather difficult to understand in this day and age of civil partnerships and prominent gays in all the soap operas. Yet, as I understand it, being a lesbian was never against the law as Queen Victoria did not think such a thing existed! Personally, I think being gay is perfectly natural as being left-handed (another thing the Victorians tried to stamp out)Originally posted by Angle View Post
Anyway, seriouisly off topic! Your puzzle, of course, the W at mid-day says John Wayne (High Noon) but, that's wrong, so I dunno. Will have to have a ponder about this.Comment

Anna - I'm not sure if this was really a question - but if it was - I'm not sure it was answered - but anyroad up - Adagietto from Mahler 5 - the feem-toon for the fillum of Death in Venice - final shot of Dirk Bogarde dying on the lido gazing at the unattainable Tadzio - Bogarde's make-up theatrically drizzling down his face in the venetian sunshine as he dies - but you prob'ly knew all this anyway...Originally posted by Anna View PostComment

Yes I enjoyed it also and found Mr. Waters, who I supposed I had expected to be somewhat bitter and twisted, to be rather charming. I thought his description of playing to a 70% empty hall while a few miles away the Floyd had filled a baseball stadium, as a learning experience was "nice".Originally posted by Ofcachap View PostComment

Well, Baba-Yaga appears in a Liadov tone poem and towards the end of Mussorgsky's Pictures.Originally posted by Angle View PostOur chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....Comment

Tchaichovsky - The Witch perhaps? Baba yaga?Comment
-
Baba-Yaga, yes
and Tchaikovsky fits the bill, too
Mention of Liadov leads also to Kikimora,a fairy tale for orchestra
That's Anna 1, Mercia 1 and Inquisitor 1
but you might disagree.
It is time for a V from one of the above.Comment

I have to go now, sorry. So count me out. If I can pass on my point, can it be to IGI?Comment

Anna is leaving the ring and Mercia is not in sight.
Inquisitor, X, Y or Z or, if you wish, A, seems to be all yours.
No, not a V as I said earlier
