Saturday Snapshots #134


I believe I was visited by a giant last night. He told me The Snapshots Are Not What They Seem. 

Give me the Straight Story on these ten clues, please. Why not enjoy a Damn Fine Coffee while you're doing it?


10. Don't be afraid of what comes after the Lighthouse of Alexandria.


9. Old man with Saint on French pavements.


8. Equal to the nannies you might find above... the answer is plain to see.


7. More exciting than the first evangelist tripping me up.


6. Pulled pork forever!


5. Hannibal's mother looks back on happier times.


4. Makes suits for Tim Booth, come sunshine or storm.


3. Writing this blog... with a debt to Macca.


2. Trump. Putin. Johnson. Spaniel.


1. Monks can't afford to take the bus... and it's starting to rain.


Sometimes my arms bend back... but that won't stop me posting the answers tomorrow morning. One day my log will have something to say about this.

      By the way Rol, will you be reviewing the new Morrissey album I Am Not a Dog on a Chain (2020) ?

      Probably not at the moment, Chris. The one cursory listen I gave it didn't persuade me to invest much time in it.

      Was just thinking it was her but what a dreadful dress - They did improve as she became more successful.

    Last guess promise but I think number 2 is a very young Jarvis Cocker! No sure of the song.

      Not running the world very well.

      That's very much the point of the song.

    Alyson knows #3. She even suggested it as a possible answer a few weeks back.

      Ah it must be Owen Paul then - The song is My Favourite Waste of Time.

      Your blog is what’s keeping many of us going at the moment and although not a lucrative pastime, it’s never a waste of time. Thank you.

      He’s definitely familiar - 80s Europop?

      I’ve hogged too many of the snapshots today though so will leave him for someone else.
