  • Maybe....
    Going back to the golf theme, maybe there's another link to St. Andrews? If 'Word two' is First and flog the wrong way is golf, a google search comes up with 'The Old Course at St Andrews is the oldest golf course in the world.' so the first?

    :o
  • well St Andrews s reffered to as the "Home of Golf"

    also gong homeward could relate to the "back nine" ie returnng towards the club house on an 18 hole round

    Will go and have a look!

    looking around I have found this:
    The Crypt of St Paul's Cathedral


    The CRYPT corresponds in size with the upper church. The mosaic pavement was laid by convicts from Woking prison. Here are the graves of many of those whose monuments we have already seen, as well as many additional monuments and graves. Among those who were buried in Old St. Paul's may be mentioned Sebba (died 677), King of the East Saxons, Ethelred (died 1017), King of the Angles, John of Gaunt (died 1399), Dean Colet (died 1519), William Lily (died 1522), Thomas Linacre (died 1524), Sir Nicholas Bacon (died 1579), Sir Philip Sidney (died 1586), Sir Francis Walsingham (died 1590), Sir Christopher Hatton (died 1591), and Sir Anthony Van Dyck (died 1641). We first reach the crypt below the south choir-aisle. At the foot of the staircase (right) is a bust of Sir John Macdonald (1815-91), premier of Canada. In the second bay, on the right, monument to Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-73). Farther on, in the aisle, is buried Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912). Beside the window in the next bay is the tombstone of Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), above which is the original tablet with its famous epitaph. This whole bay, from the window to the nave, is known as 'Painters' Corner,' for here rest Lord Leighton, Benjamin West (1738-1820), Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830), Landseer (1802-73), Sir John Millais (1829-96), Turner, Sir Joshua Reynolds, John Opie (1761-1807), and Holman Hunt (1827-1910), while on the walls are memorials to Randolph Caldecott (1846-86), Frank Holl (1845-88), W. Q. Orchardson (1832-1910), and Edwin A. Abbey (1852-1911). J. S. Sargent (1856-1925), though buried elsewhere, is commemorated by a figure of the Redemption, originally designed by himself for Boston Public Library. The chapel at the east end of the crypt, still called St. Faith's, contains a few mutilated monuments from Old St. Paul's and the graves of Bishop Creighton, Dean Milman, Canon Liddon, and Sir Arthur Sullivan. The Stationers' Company holds a service annually in this chapel on Ash Wednesday afternoon. We now pass through the gates to the west portion of the crypt, and find ourselves in front of the colossal sarcophagus of Cornish porphyry enclosing the remains of the Duke of Wellington. On the left, farther on, is a memorial to Florence Nightingale (1820-1910). In the space directly below the centre of the dome Lord Nelson rests in a coffin made from the mainmast of the French ship 'L'Orient,' enclosed in a sarcophagus of black and white marble originally designed by Benedetto da Rovezzano for Cardinal Wolsey. In the recesses to the right and left lie Nelson's companions-in-arms, Lord Northesk (1758-1831) and Lord Collingwood. In the recess to the right of Lord Northesk, Lord Wolseley (1833-1913), Lord Roberts (1832-1914), and Sir Evelyn Wood (1838-1919); in that to the right of Collingwood, Lord Napier of Magdala (1810-90). Farther west, on the left, are memorials to George Cruikshank (1792-1878), the caricaturist, W. E. Henley (1849-1903; Bust by Rodin), the poet and critic, W. B. Dalley (1831-88), the Australian statesman, Charles Reade and Sir Walter Besant, the novelists, and R. H. Barham. Opposite, Sir Henry Bartle Frere (1815-84), Sir George Grey, (1812-98), the colonial governor, and R. J. Seddon (1845-1906), Prime Minister of New Zealand. A bust of George Washington (1732-99) was placed in this crypt in 1921. At the extreme west end of the crypt is the Funeral Car of the Duke of Wellington, made from cannon captured by him and inscribed with the names of his victories.


    So maybe word two refers to
    The second victory listed on the funeral car



    Or maybe I am just trying too hard.

  • dude learn to seperate paragraphs, no-ones gonna read a wall of text lke that
    In dreams there are no impossibilities
  • just to add to the cofusion, hole 3 of the Castle Course at St Andrews is named Cathedral
    In dreams there are no impossibilities
  • and yet more confusion, did a google search fro "flog the wrong way" (ncludng the parentheses) and came up with this from a RC Arcraft forum :P
    "FREESTYLE" Get it in the air and flog on the sticks for 8-10 minutes and land. "FREESTYLE"

    (If you flog the wrong way it gets real exciting, never boring.)

    You of all people should know that I know netiquette. I copied and pasted from another website (and forgot to highlight the important bit, which I have done now, because I was in the last 30 seconds of my meal break.

    If you are going to be picky, you should have said:

    Dude, learn to sepArate paragraphs. No-one's going to read a wall of text lIke that.

    OK, trying a different tact now.

    Assuming that The pattern from innmates will lead to the truth does indeed refer to
    The statue of Truth & Falsehood on Wellington's monument in St. Paul's Cathedral

    And Word two you must find ... refers to
    Falsehood

    Then maybe we should be looking for the
    Statue of falsehood

    I haven't looked too far so far, but this line of thinking occured after reading this
    http://www.victorianweb.org/sculpture/stevens/index.html

    I can't help thinking that is not right. The second word of Truth and Falsehood is "and", not "falsehood". I also agree with Reniannen, that it seems like a jigsaw, where that last piece doesn't quite fit. I can't help but think that we have missed something else - something that should really be more obvious than this.
