    Lucky, or unlucky, timing. I had been out in the garden, came in to light the fire and decided to check on Boards.

    While I was looking for a way to express my question in a comprehensible way, I came across something else, so I think I'll go for this instead.

    What do degrees Brix measure?

    Sucrose concentration in any aqueous solution - if I recall my chemistry lectures correctly.

    Quick and straightforward.

    Who said "Women are made to be loved, not understood."?

    Would it be radio stations names starting with these letters in US ?

    What just happened there? You gave the answer as well???


    Along with a couple of others, none of them appear in the Irish Alphabet. But you seemed to want something else.

    It's just a bit of fun. And English is the language of boards.
    No one forced you to look at the spoiler btw.

    I had my suspicions it was an old 'friend' of Boards.

    He could have left us with a cliffhanger (which, incidentally, doesn't contain any K, Q, W, X or Z)...

    In fairness, S., even I figured that out, and I'm not known for getting many things right, around here. :D
