    Nothing wrong with that - he was giving the dyslexic's answer to an earlier question on Greek mythology - 'Who was Castor's twin brother?' ;)

    No. Being a 'man of books', I thought you may have been the one to get this...

    As a clue, think of a way of describing Laurel & Hardy.

    Laurel and Hardy were slapstick comedians. Will Shakespeare used slapstick in comedy of errors. Some recent displays from Watford have been a comedy of errors. Paris Hilton could have been described as having a slapstick existence. ;)

    Pass the bottle please Mme!

    Make sure it's the empty one Mme, creative but not correct. :)

    When I said think of a way of describing L&H, I meant physically...

    Is there a connection with anyone called Zola? Le Ventre de Paris is the novel by the way.

    I'll give you that - it was relevant when I set the question. <laugh>

    Zola's novel Le Ventre de Paris, translated into English under the title The Fat and the Thin.

    Could we have an easy one please BB? I am off to bed and don't want to be kept awake wondering if I know an Aussie author who had a relationship with a black and white film actress. :(

    A multi-national company is filing patent claims around the world in order to gain control over the curative powers of a particular flower.

    Which company and which flower?
