Thanks Dannyk13. I did have the M wrong!( from SAMBA instead of SALSA_ which your LILAC now gives)

Lutetium
g(lu)m - lu = lutetium?

[dreamer56]

Thanks both. But why?

Purely Bright?

[dannyk13]

Glum avoiding jacket = lu which is chemical symbol for Lutetium.

[dreamer56]

Ah, thanks Chelle7272.
Congrats to The Reds! ( even though I am a Spurs fan, and will never forgive Sissoko for that crass pointing-vaguely-to-look-authoritative in the CL Final, thus conceding a ridiculous pen!Harrumph)
