[hakey]

Brontes => Cowan Bridge => Kirkby Lonsdale

correct so far...

EDIT: except Kirby Lonsdale isn't a hamlet - it's a market town - so correct as far as Cowan Bridge.

Mark Owen?

[hakey]

Mark Owen?

Yep. He lives in Leck, has done for quite a while - I don't know where he gets the notion that he lives in the Lake District from, but I've heard him say it a couple of times now.

(To leck/laik is dialect for to play, Leck Beck runs through Britain's longest cave system.)

As of March 2010 he was supposedly living in Wandsworth though

[The Fex]

To be fair, if I was a member of Take That, and an interviewer asked me where I lived, I'd think of the fans, and I'd name a different country.

To leck/laik is dialect for to play

It means 'small' in Thai, appropriately enough....

Minus several million pedantry points from me then.

OTOH, as that's in the Daily Heil/Fail, I claim mitigating circumstances - i.e. no reasonable person should be expected to expose themselves to that filthy cloaca.

no reasonable person can be expected to expose themselves to the filthy cloaca of that putrid rag.

Minus several billion points for dissing my mother. She says she doesn't need to read a newspaper which tells her what she thinks. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Filthy cloaca?

[whyterabbyt]

the connection between:

Blake's not-yet-modern children
Selling footwear by a corner
And something Bruce did twice, once by himself and once with a girl who neatened clothes

Explain all 3 clues as well...

[Blank_Frank]

Minus several billion points for dissing my mother.

Filthy cloaca?

Mine too, sadly. Reminds me of that Marcus Brigstocke quote about his mum coming out with things like "according to the Daily Mail we'll all be speaking Muslim by 2014..."

And the Stephen Fry on Wagner thing was quite interesting apart from some appalling fashion choices by his national-treasureliness. Bright red trousers? Not if I live to be 100.

Anyway, back to the quiz...

Filthy cloaca?

Oh that's nice. Just 'cos he hated our questions, as well as us, you're now implying his mother isn't even human. And a dirty non human at that.

I once wanted to call a music project cloaca, but some sludgy doom metal band had already nicked it from me. True story. It's f**king hard to find a free, decent one-word name these days.

My mum reads the grauny and she still worries about the muzzies, although for sort of more liberal reasons I suppose.

Back to the quiz, then. Back to the quiz doesn't seem all that appealing to me, when I'd not be a smidgen the worse if whyte'd posted his clueball in Yiddish. Anyone?

too oblique?

Ive got three more clues.

The first is : the corner has a connection to the transformers.

Belxprow?

Back to the quiz, then. Back to the quiz doesn't seem all that appealing to me, when I'd not be a smidgen the worse if whyte'd posted his clueball in Yiddish. Anyone?

I'm guessing the first one is about William Blake's "Songs of Innocence", but the other two I don't have any idea about...

I was more wondering what had made him bring his mother into this - and if it was perhaps the mention of the filthy cloaca that did it?

@Frank - aye, red trousers indeed! But I'm lead to believe that the very poshest people can get away with that kind of thing.

Back to the quiz:

Blake? William Blake 'Daughters of Albion'? Blake of 'Blake's Seven'?

Bruce? Bruce Dickinson? Jack Bruce? Bruce Lee?

[The Fex]

Filthy cloaca?

Mine too, sadly.

Now you both have to die.

something Bruce

Springsteen, presumably. It had better be Springsteen, or I'm calling foul.

a girl who neatened clothes

Rosanne Cash was Johnny's wardrobe mistress, but I'm not aware of a Springsteen duet other than 'Sea of Heartbreak'.
