Ok, mission aborted. Likelihood is that the CD is in Princess Leia's hairdo. Time travel back to the 70s necessary. Abort, abort, clear Snorebens now.



You're a lucky man, Agent Gusset.

Do you mean the emails I have been receiving from this so-called 'Aaron' 'Cassidy' in the preceding minutes on the subject of the quirks of Finale 2008 have been automatically generated to put me off the scent?

My goodness. Are there no depths to which this man will not stoop? 

Clearly a Graupner Hater.

---

I have received from Cassidy the following coded message:



Clearly there is no mistaking the seriousness of the situation. We must tread carefully or the fragile transatlantic détente itself may be in jeopardy.

Did Cassidy give a tempo indication? That could be an important clue!

I know we already have a picture association thread but I can't resist...

Meanwhile, in another universe not so far away...



"Agent Hat - is this your gusset?"

No, no, Agent Gusset's worked hard enough, please, allow me.

These are sickening images indeed! I hope you have kept all women, servants and children well away from them. Their enfeebled minds could simply not cope. You too should not go near the suspect sample, without at all times wearing sight-reductive goggles and thick clothing.

I now have two items to report.

Item 1

We no longer believe that Cassidy is implicated in the Graupner heist.
Suspicion had been falsely augmented when it was wrongly suspected that he may have been a distant relation of 'Butch' or even 'David' Cassidy.
We have now also established that he has nothing to do with Aaron 'a G-string' McNortyman, further lightening the load of suspicion on him.

Item 2

We concur with Member Sudden however that the image does indeed contain a clue.

We believe that Cassidy may want to give himself up, repeat give himself up, for crimes against tonality.
If you look carefully along the thick black beam at the upper portion of the image you will see clearly the letters E - B - E. The guys in our Schenker dept. tell us this is a clear sign that he may be cracking and want to return to a life on the safe guiding tracks of Tonic-Dominant-Tonic.

Guys, I think we may have saved another, repeat, we may have saved another.

(Ed.   Agent, do you you have to keep repeating everything you say?

Agent.   Sir, no Sir!

Ed.  Doh! )

Oh, all I could see was a smiley face looking out at me. That seemed good enough for the lads in Criminal Profiling to give Fingers 'Hopalong' Cassidy the all clear.

Agent Gusset


PS. A request for Info Dept, Agent Mort and Captain Martle and any other big green Thunderbird fans. You know, right, when lovely big green Thunderbird comes out, right. And you know all those palm trees bend backwards, right. Well, er, a friend of mine, not me obviously, but my friend, wants to know whether they are bending backwards to make room for lovely big green Thunderbird or whether it is the downthrust from lovely...BGT that is making the palm trees bend back (or possibly sideways, or even forward, my friend has just said).
