Saturday Snapshots #120


When they told me this quiz would make a Newman out of me, I had no idea they meant this.

You see, what we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

Ten titles and artists from the clues below, please. They've been too easy lately. This week's are not too easy.

(By the way, if you don't know where that speech comes from, it comes from here. Oops, I mean here.)


10. Invasion of the... couch potatoes.


9. Rhythm & Blues writes to problematic girl, mourning conjunction.


8. Weeping fox.


7. Ask Daniele for a more upbeat reaction to bad weather than Don & Phil had.


6. Dancer's dog mourned by Lee, Lynne and Luke Sky.


5. Bake-off final: mercy for Hergé.


4. Alloy writer romanticised by fortunate Queen killers.


3. On hold for conventional candy.


2. Romantic Shakespearean text found in smallest room.


1. The sound...of a brand-new world. Predictably.


The Sting is on. Show me the Colour of (your) Money, Hustlers. The answers will be revealed tomorrow morning.

  11. I realise that the clue to 9 is particularly torturous, so... think of a girl who was a problem, then imagine she stole something from the middle of rhythm and blues, and then add another word for mourns.

    Phew.
