Let Me Entertain You with the answers to this week's Saturday Snapshots. No Regrets if you got any wrong. You're all Angels for taking part...
Charity Chic was this week's winner with a last minute goal (lots of football references this week - perhaps The World Cup had more effect on me than I realised).
10. Aussie lady is loyal to honey in orbit with Roger, initially.
Australian ladies are known as Sheilas.
If you're loyal to honey, you might have bee-devotion.
If you're in orbit, you could be in Space, with the initial letter of Roger...
Sheila & B. Devotion - Spacer
9. Does Morse's sidekick have enough to buy dinner for Hicks, Murray and Clinton?
Well done to Chris for piecing these clues together - Morse would be proud.
Inspector Morse's sidekick was Lewis.
Hicks, Murray and Clinton are all BIlls.
We buy dinner with lunch money... don't get me started on that dinner at tea time nonsense!
LunchMoney Lewis - Bills
8. An old Stone has wood for Morrissey - making it as good as it was in the beginning.
An old Stone related to Wood would be Ron.
Having wood is a euphemism for sexual attraction. Morrissey was in The Smiths (no, really, he was).
Making something as good as it was in the beginning would be to return it to its former flory.
Ron Sexsmith - Former Glory
7. Atkinson gets up early to win the Cup.
Early would be 4 in the morning.
Some debate over whether this was actually a photo of the singer in question - Martin committed the heinous crime of google image searching and google mistakenly informed him that the above photo was of "of long-dead minor character actor Louis Jean Heydt". Which just goes to show that you can't trust google image search to help you with this quiz because THIS is "long-dead minor character actor Louis Jean Heydt"...
However, if Martin's image search had revealed the answer to be Don Draper, I might have been hard-pressed to dispute that suggestion...
Perhaps this would have been easier if I'd used the photo I originally selected for this week's competition...
...but luckily I spotted the rather large clue in that image before I clicked 'post'.
In the end, I had to offer an extra clue to help you solve this one... Prefab Sprout! Every little sentiment's an antique. Charity Chic finally worked it all out, helping him clinch this week's title.
Saturday Snapshots: I don't just throw it together, you know!
Faron Young - Four In The Morning
6. And call the location of a small stream.
A small stream is a beck.
Beck and call.
Location = where it's at.
Beck - Where It's At
Still my favourite Beck song.
5. Scott's bride fails to find herself.
Scott (Jason Donovan) married Charlene (Kyle Minogue).
Charlene - I've Never Been To Me
I'm not sure if this will make you feel any better, Alyson, but I knew you'd be the one to get that.
4. Sprint back to the Holy Island.
The Holy Island is Lindisfarne.
Lindisfarne - Run For Home
3. Young Beckham crosses the East River - that's as bad as it gets!
Beckham's son is called Brooklyn. (To be fair, until I researched this clue, I thought Brooklyn Beckham was a girl. Shows what I know.) The Brooklyn Bridge crosses the East River. C claims this quiz gets harder every week, but she still solved this week's hardest clue.
Brooklyn Bridge - The Worst That Could Happen
2. Tell Gabriel to take a seat in Italian and celebrate the splendour of amore.
Oy! Peter (Gabriel). Sit-era!
Who says puns are dead?
The photo is of Peter Cetera today. If you want to see what he looked like at the time of Karate Kid II...
Peter Cetera - The Glory of Love
Rigid Digit turned up relatively late this week, and this is all I had for him!
1. Hen sees VD and Lucifer in my loafers.
Anagram of the week. Hen sees VD unscrambles as... The band Oasis always dreamed of being.
Phew. Need to go lie down in a dark room after that. Saturday Snapshots will return next Millennium... or next week, if I'm recovered.
Hmm... Doesn't really make me feel any better but hats off - You certainly know your audience.
ReplyDeleteGreat quiz as ever (and confirmation we shouldn't believe everything we see on the internet). As for the original Faron Young pic, you could have smudged out the name with a photo editor, but a bit of a faff granted.
