Thanks.

Including Part?

Arvo Pärt - Estonian chap.

 

[Withnail]

What about composer '_ a _ bones'? Not that.

Asterisks work with searches - why didn't anyone tell me?

How's about this one from Aracaria (The Bugger):

[Withnail]

[Ecker]

Is it atom?

"Manx" Withnail...tailless cat geddit!! I did say Aracaria was a bugger.

 

[Withnail]

Very good!

I had thought C= atomic symbol for carbon + a= abbrv. for atom neatly wrapped in Calcium.

A bit too obvious for the monkey puzzler.

Nice one Withnail. How about a bit of licence here. The clue to which the answer is: "DD" ?
