Once upon a time, Lewis, we solved Snapshots with a brain and a notebook. These days it's google searches and a notebook. The romance is gone.
Yes, sir. Fancy a pint?
Don't mind if I do, Lewis! You stay here and try to identify the suspects below... I'll adjourn to the pub and try to work out what links them all together.
15. A tissue detangled.
14. United? Never!
13. Chimney... watershed.
12. Growing happy bacteria.
11. Uffington.
10. Destined never to be well groomed.
9. Bing cures serpent... in a way.
8. Plant juice from the flour factory... and it's goodnight from him.
7. No interest from the whole country.
6. Boyle found in London Research Library.
5. Indiana wants them.
4. When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
3. How a Scottish Monarch cooks his bacon and eggs.
2. Butch Cassidy drinks mostly Cognac.
1. Christopher Black, Kevin McGrady, Harry Kirkpatrick.
Any luck, Lewis? Or do we have to wait till tomorrow morning?
10. The Batchelors
ReplyDelete9 Bruce Springsteen
ReplyDelete3. Glenn Fry
ReplyDelete5. The Hoosiers
ReplyDelete15 Suede
ReplyDelete4. SOS Band
ReplyDelete8. Ronnie Milsap
9. Springsteen
I'm pretty sure 3 is Duncan Crispy but our Scottish correspondents may know better
15. Suede
ReplyDelete9. Bruce Springsteen
14 City Boy
ReplyDeleteSongs with numbers in the title?
I think it may actually be Manchester City some time in the 1970s. The one in the middle looks very much like Colin Bell.
DeleteYes to Manchester, no to numbers.
Delete1. Supergrass
ReplyDeleteIs it songs with punctuation marks in the titles - full stops, question marks, apostrophes etc?
ReplyDeleteNope!?!
Delete2. Randy Newman
ReplyDelete2. Randy Newman - Bria
ReplyDelete11. Whitehorse
ReplyDeleteExtensive research into Man City reveals that their entire recording history consists of 'The Boys In Blue', 'Up The Blues' and 'My Balls Burst'. So we are probably looking at a them lined to boys, blue, balls or alliteration using the letter B.
ReplyDeleteOr even a theme linked to one of those topics
DeleteThought of another possible link - names given to our fine police officers (Boys in Blue, Caught by the Fuzz)
ReplyDeleteErnie... you're nicked, sunshine!
DeleteIn that case is 6 'Bobby's Girl' by Susan Maughan?
DeleteIt is.
DeleteWell done Ernie. Couldn't see it for looking, as my mum would say.
DeleteThe clue was in the picture
DeleteLooking for songs with Pigs or Filth in the title!
Rol often says the picture and opening para have no bearing on the link, but this time it totally did!
DeleteP.S. Sorry that we can't all solve Snapshots with our brains alone. Some of us need a little help from Prof Google.
Suede have one of them. The other is #7.
DeleteThat reply for CC!
DeleteAlyson, pay no mind to Morse, he's a grumpy old git.
Alyson - I couldn't have got it without Dr Discogs listing the thankfully rare recordings by Manchester City FC
DeleteIs the link about Fires? Starting them, putting them out etc
ReplyDeleteSadly not. See above.
