Thanks again for the quiz - and thank you for making me grin at the line "never did so many young men dream of being a double bass..."
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a clarification of "Russian dolls in the topiary", care to explain?
ReplyDeleteAdding Gilbert O'Sullivan to my list based on Nothing Rhymed
Those Russian dolls that go inside one another are babushkas (or matryoyskas). Topiary is bushes cut into fancy shapes.
