Spot on Paul. :D I've never seen Gene Hackman in a comedy role before - it's worth watching the film just to see him in drag: blonde wig, full makeup and a spangly dress. The late Mike Nichols never let the film descend into schmaltz; if that had been the case, then instead of watching it so many ti...

Some poetic licence here as I'm departing from the facts in the hope of giving a clue. It's the English pronunciation in the film but the origins of the story are French.

Welcome back Chris - it's lovely to hear that you have had such a marvellous time. :D Now, how does it go, " Never apologise, never explain :!: " :lol: :lol: :lol: If you are going to be back on the straight and narrow very soon, then can we assume that your shoulder is much improved? Okay...

It's the French pronunciation of Albert.

Paul Victory wrote:That didn't last long.

Paul, you did say that it would be easy and I do have the DVD.

This is a comedy ( 1996 ). There are some songs but it isn't classed as a musical.

" I'm maternal but Albert is practically a breast. "

The Kinks - Lola? Good idea Steve but not the right answer. PS: I've no idea what song it is, but maybe another clue would help. I didn't think that anyone would have difficulty with this one. The clue of clues needed here I think. This song's vocalist would have looked in the mirror and said' &quo...

' When Harry Met Sally '

Shrek? I know. Back to the drawing board again Jill.

Robin Hood. The characters are animals and Robin Hood is a fox.

It's a bit tricky trying to think of a song that's not too easy.

Here's a clue; Bruce Jenner has nothing to do with this song but Ann's suggestion is working along the right lines.

Mmmm

See me for special tuition Oh dear... I was always one of teacher's pets ( or was it pests ) at school: book monitor, milk monitor, ink monitor and blackboard monitor. :D Sorry Plummy, I'm having one of those days today as everything keeps going wrong. #-o #-o :roll: If I haven't completely ' blott...

Plummy, I don't have a clue - this is a wild guess; Donny Osmond = ' And They Call It Puppy Love ' = ' 101 Dalmatians ' Wrong Back to the drawing board Jill.

Plummy, I'm the one who needs to see you after class.

Plummy, this is a wild guess; the Donny Osmond connection = ' They Call It Puppy Love ' = ' 101 Dalmatians '... I know. Wrong Back to the drawing board Jill.

Plummy, I think it's ' Purple Rain ' or going by your clue and the reference to 2, should it be ' Purple Rain, Purple Rain ' by Prince?

A belated ' Very Happy Birthday ' to you Paul. \:D/ \:D/ 8) =D> Back this afternoon, after spending a few days at Beaumaris on Angelsey. Although I didn't know that the 21st was your birthday, yesterday, when Richard had pointed me in the direction of Dublin, I called out across the water, " Ha...

With no disrespect to the formidable Ms. Jill, this is Name that Tune, not name the singer. Correct responses in the past have identified the singers of covers or remakes, rather than the original singer. I believe Plummy should choose the next tune. Jill can identify her choice of the "only o...

Peter, I can assure you that this will not be a stumper - it will be your PB because you'll probably work it out in about 0.01.0 :fssmile: I was about 6 or 7 when I first heard this song - I loved it then and still do: sublime voice, sublime lyrics, sublime music. There's no love song finer But how ...

Oh. Thank you. Will be back on Sunday but if anyone has any objections, please shout.

It's an anagram of "Marching Ham Tins" When I asked my son, Ian, a few minutes ago, he said it was The Smiths ' This Charming Man ' . Not sure if that qualifies me or not? If it does would somebody else like to take a turn as I'm going away tomorrow and I do not possess any electronic giz...

You guys are inspiring. I had a slow start this year being new to the erg. Hopefully next year I will complete one million in a season. You're inspiring yourself Michelle - keep up the consistency and anything is possible. :fssmile: You guys are right about just trying to catch the next person on t...

Great going Peggy. 3,000,000 x =D>
Lots of books out there to be read before your next million.
