    Thanks for what I assume is an open invite!

    Sadly, I have commitments in Kenilworth that night. This sounds like a euphemism but isn’t

    That’s the puzzle. The answers will appear some time soon but solving it yourself will be much more fulfilling

    As a retired pub quiz compiler—inspired so many years ago by the answers to the first and final ?s on my first outing (START [nuclear arms control treaty] & Finnish [name of Norwegian composer])—I’d be happy to collaborate.
    Please contact me if you are interested.
