An aglet, probably a corruption of aiguillette, the dangly bits worn by military aides and others.

If Flintstones is an answer to 'who was Nora Barnacle?', it's not correct.

As I said, she was a real person.

James Joyce's squeeze if I remember, Bloomsday? from Ulysses. Almost readable(with difficulty) before the final decent into the total incomprehensibility of "Finnegan's Wake". The modern novel, term three of Ordinary English Aberdeen University 1959. I didn't finish either and nor do I have any wish to.

James Joyce's squeeze is correct.

I've never even attempted any of his books, philistine that I am. Probably why I failed English Lit, to my mother's great shame.

Over to you, Rossian.
