So that leaves: Blair, Hague, Smith, Thatcher, Macmillan, Callaghan, Douglas-Home, Chamberlain...er...(spots lack of knowledge of famous PMs...)

Nice one. Thank you. :-)

And Gladstone.

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

4 Yep (and yes, it's from MacBeth)
5-9 Of course
10 Yes, but not for the reason you're thinking- tho' that works as well :)

Oh, and to be fair, I should point out that Nik is on my friends list, since you're at something of a disadvantage in answering the question by not knowing her!

1. Liverpool
2. Wellington

...and this time, surely, they're all noble gases!

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

Or maybe noble gas-bags?

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

Both correct!

*snigger*

No guesses for 3?

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

Dashiel... or something similar that I can't spell. That Welsh chap with the silly name that's spelt in a way completely unlike its pronunciation... er... assuming that you mean Hammett, not Hamnet...?

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Nope. Hamnet is spelled correctly :)

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Hamnet is a network of amateur radio enthusiasts, but I can't see any link to that...

It's also one of Shakespeare's children, but I can't see a link there either. :(

*cackle*

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Let me know when you want a clue :)

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

OK, I give in. Bring out the clue.

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

You're looking at Hamnet Shakespeare. Who was he?

See if you can get it from there :)

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

Williamson was the obvious extension, but there's no Prime Minister by that name... and we've already got Pitt the Younger.

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

So very _very_ close with Williamson. Don't be so formal :)

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

Waaaahhhhh!!!

*Hits head against brick wall*

Wilson

Waaaahhhhh!!! :)

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Correctomundo :)
