Belfast-related Teaser
While speaking to the Lord Mayor of Belfast at the unveiling ceremony last Wednesday, I said something which I immediately realized was the wording of one of Ruby's recorded song titles. Which one?

Great Day! (with apologies for being so late posting this!)
Well, what a wonderful time we all had! I was so pleased to be able to be there in Belfast after all - it was my first visit to Northern Ireland - though flying all the way there from Norfolk and back in one day left me pretty exhausted! It was great to see Bernie,again, also Julie and Tim, and they...

29 March 2006 in Belfast
Sorry to confuse everyone totally, but I've been able to plan everything during today and - I'm coming! It will mean travelling through the night this end, but I can do it there and back in one day, and still teach my students on the other two days. They have been very understanding, and as I am on ...

Please disregard yesterday's message, as I have today made arrangements which I think will allow me to come after all, though it will be a flying visit (literally!), arriving in Belfast mid-morning, and having to leave early evening all on the same day (the Golden Anniversary of Ruby's 21st Birthday...

I am sorry, but I very much regret that I shan't be able to come over to Belfast for the unveiling after all:- Since November I have been replacing the German teacher at a local Sixth Form College, and have just heard that she will not be able to come back until well after Easter. As my work here is...

Another teaser from Norfolk!
Let's see whether this one can possibly last longer than an hour.....!
In which song does Ruby start to count?
John from Norfolk.

Super, Graham! Well, that lasted less than half an hour! I don't know why I imagined it might cause any difficulty! Will have to put my thinking-cap on again! Do you hope to be able to come to Belfast? It would be great to meet you, with all the others, always assuming I can get there myself - we'll...

Teaser from Norfolk
Can you identify a word which appears in the titles of six of Ruby's songs - once as the only word, twice as part of a longer word (first and second half respectively), and three times in full sentences (one of which is an invitation and another a well-known saying)? Please name all six titles! John...

I very much hope to be able to come as well - it will be my first visit to Northern Ireland, although I had a super long weekend in Eire in 2000. However, a lot will depend on my work schedule, but I hope to be able to book a flight over in the near future; will keep you all in touch. It will be goo...

Of course I also remembered Ruby on Saturday - she missed my Birthday on 16 December by only just over an hour when she died in the early hours of the following day. Also, by a strange coincidence, 17 December was the last time I saw Ruby, in Wisbech, in 1987, therefore also an interval of nine year...

I worked out the answers last week (without any clues!) and was looking forward to sending them, but when I got to the library this morning (my first chance to use a computer for several days), I see I have been pipped at the post! Never mind, I did get the last one right, and will look forward to t...
