I'm not here today because it is my birthday. And those of you who know will know that it is a very special birthday. So we've gone away for the weekend to celebrate it in style. Nowhere as glamorous as Hawaii, I'm afraid, just plain old Scarborough. Still, that's more my speed now that I'm getting on a bit...
Before I jetted off to the cote de North Sea, I prepared these ten clues as a special birthday gift from me to you. Enjoy...
10. No, your bum doesn't look big in those jeans. And I love what you've done with your hair.
9. Les Enfants Terribles.
8. Holy onomatopoeia, Batman!
7. Duchess meets two former presidents.
6. Undergrounds.
5. Scouts and capitalists.
4. Main enema.
3. Get the rope, Harry, and untangle it.
2. Catboy, Owlette and Gekko wear masks; Alex is Sensational without one.
1. When Owen Met Carly.
Lord, is that the time? Afraid you'll have to wait till tomorrow morning for the answers. Until then - book 'em, Danno!
