I'll try a couple more: #3 - The Intruder; #6 - A Long Day (but I'm not betting on this answer!) I"ll go with Ranald on #2. Cheers!

I'm having a bit of trouble following Hugh's replies on #16, but for now I'll just add #12 as "Adding Machines". Thanks!

I'll get things started this week, but either I'm getting duller or these are getting harder! #1 - Broken Promises; #4 - Sick in Bed; #5 - Unfinished Business; #7 - Big Deal; #8 - the Last Word; #9 -...

I'll add #2 - Living in the Lap of Luxury; #4 Spittin' Image; #8 - Lost in Space and #11 - back door. I agree with Ranald and Falcon on the others, and #6 and #7 are driving me crazy so will keep...

Frankly Alastair, I wouldn't take the "too large and intimidating" criticism too seriously. That's the nature of the game on the internet and in fact, size is it's strength. The ES search function is...

Good morning all, #1 - Foreign Accent; #4 - 'Pheasant Under Glass" and #9 - "All in the Game"? #3 maybe "Blind Justice" i.e., no i/eye? #5 is something "over-rated" but that one hasn't clicked yet.

Ha! This just popped up on my screen. You get my vote and my hat is off. Well done!

Sorry for the pollution Ranald, it happens from time to time when the weather here lets the forest fires get out of control. I was pretty young for your 1951 experience, but was involved in several...

Thanks Ranald, I'll stick with Blue Moon on number 1 as it shows up blue on my screen. The best I can do for #2 is "Ruthenium Between It" which makes no sense, so I'm missing something. The only...

1 - Blue moon; 2 - I had to leave this one for Ranald! 3 - Upgrade; 4 - Paint by numbers; 5 - Undercover spy; 6 - Sweet 16; 7 - Big dipper; 8 - I'll leave this one for Ranald too, something about...

The Allan Neave, (guitar) and Robert Irvine, (cello) duo in "Classical Music in Scotland" was absolutely captivating. I'm on the lookout for a recording.

A co-worker's husband was only a few safe minutes ahead of the blasts, so we are quite thankful for that. The horror of terror bombers has been with us since the old European anarchists, the IRA and...

Kicking myself for missing the West Indies. Good fun!

Don't wait for me Ranald, I don't always check in regularly. I'd guess the missing ones are: 1 - File cabinet; 2 - He's in over his head; 4 - Wild west? (not sure about that one!); 6 - Out of your...

At first I thought it would be about WWII code breaking, but here goes: 1. Foreclose (four close); 2. Low income (a freebie); 3. Plumb bob; 4. Thumb in it; 5. That is beside the point; 6. Doom and...

Forfar bridies and Arboath smokies - it doesn't get much better! But I'm finding this series most interesting for it's attention to agriculture. I've often wondered how my grandfather's people were...

Supporting aboriginal economic development!

The feature on Princess Kaiulani is enough to make one weep, but it highlights one of Scotland's best kept secrets, which is the place of Scots in Hawaiian history. Even Devine has little to say...

Nothing beats a properly seasoned and cared for cast iron frying pan. Those non-stick, Teflon marvels never seem to last more than a couple years and who knows what they impart into our food. I have...

You really have a knack for taking me back, and I do appreciate it. The first time I heard this song was a miserably cold winter night in 1978/79 when I was stationed in a remote community in...

Thanks a whole bunch! I still have her first album with the Stone Ponies and have loved every note since!

Taking the video at face value, it's an extraordinary combination of luck, skill and cool reaction in a crisis. I'd fly with this fellow anytime!

Thanks Joan, I saw the marvelous documentary on the recovery expedition some years ago but hadn't seen anything recently. It's a powerful story and there is certainly no dishonour in being laid to...

There is no easy way to understand the issues surrounding aboriginal peoples in Canada, so kudos to Alastair for trying. The first thing to remember is diversity: there are hundreds of Indian bands...

My daughter worked at a Tim Horton's in British Columbia and would have considered this very polished performance to be well above the ordinary patrons. They've obviously sung together for quite some...
