Nope

Okay just remember - there's a clue in the title, but I'm off to bed.

Cut off the ears as the American Indians cut off scalps????

No that's that's right.

Is there a giant gong involved?
That's not for points I'm just curious if this monument to ear removals
has a bell attached anywhere. They're big on bells them Buddhists.

You're very quick tonight Arthur.

i don't know what you mean olive????

oh dear...


no gongs of any description are involved.

That seems familiar - are there several shrines to these severed ears?

More than one, certainly.

"never seen a clarinet with a kickstart"

My brother had a yamaha violin. He could play the minute waltz in 48 seconds.

I can't klaxon bad punning.

More's the pity.....

Doesn't matter any more. I have given up klaxon chasing.

He is very good isn't he?

I think the competition helped raise his game.

>> i don't know what you mean olive???? <<

Now I'm confused.
The only Olive I know is Popeye's girlfriend.

When you said 'rank' in the context of bells and gongs I was sure
you meant the sweaty slo-mo guy with the giant sized q-tip banging
on the gong at the start of J Arthur Rank movies.

But of course there's also the bath-robed Arthur Dent who I think
(but am not entirely sure) is also referred to as J Arthur Dent or
Arthur J Dent at some point in the great Trilogy. Or maybe not.
I don't know that many Arthurs and can only speculate that DNA
came up with the name Arthur Dent after seeing a J Arthur 'Dent' movie.

Anyway, too many grey areas.

I was also of course referring to your several simultaneous postings in
several different threads that left me helpless with laughter and unable
to otherwise respond. 'Arthur' was meant to acknowledge your use of 'rank'
in the context of 'gongs' as well as being a tribute to your h2g2 legend as
a gormless innocent caught up in an adventure in a universe not of your own creation.

Don't know anything about severed ears, but the guy walloping the gong at the start of the J Arthur (not rhyming slang) movies was Bombadier Billy Wells. He is also the reason why Wells Brewery do a beer called Bombardier.
