OK, what's the connection between tension sheets and Beethoven 5?

Are tension sheets those plastic bubble wrap thingies that people pop?
And is Beet 5 the one that goes 'ta-ta-ta DUM' and was used by the BBC during the war as the intro theme for the radio news because 'ta-ta-ta-DUM' is Morse code for 'V' which stands for Victory as well as being the roman numeral 5? (Bear in mind that Beethoven never heard of Samuel Morse of course.)

You're getting there on the tension sheets....
..but I need more!

Beatrice Posted May 14, 2003
Right tension sheet connection.
Beethoven bit needs work though...

Well the 5th has always been popular but I don't think it could really be called 'pop' music.

OK - what I know:
The Tension Sheet, according to the episode of Red Dwarf entitled 'Timeslides', was invented by 'Thicky' Holden, who slept in the bed next to the 11-year-old Rimmer at boarding school.
Over to you...

What I know.
Every time Beethoven sat down to write music, he poured ice water over his head.
Perhaps if we did that we could come up with a connection

Surprisingly enough, jwf might be onto something....

Mu Beta Posted May 15, 2003
"Every time Beethoven sat down to write music, he poured ice water over his head"
Well, 'Thicky' Holden was "so thick he thought a glacier was a bloke who fixed windows."
Is that the answer? Have we solved it?

Beatrice Posted May 15, 2003
No no no! The pop music suggestion, not the ice water!
Sheesh.
If you're really stuck, try trawling through some of my old threads.....

Ew, no fair, that's like hiding something in your sock and underwear drawer.

Hiya Luckystar!
Long time, no scintillation.
Paws/drawers, right?
It's from Grease. It's where the other girls are all taking the p*ss out of Sandy.
"I won't go to bed till I'm decently well, 'cos I'm Miss Sandra Dee".
That one.
Yeah?
But you want a title, I bet.
Oh well, back to the bottle...
