9: flush, will have to think up the others

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Didn't think of that answer, so whilst it's correct, it's not the _right_ correct answer ;)

1. Prince Charles
Fresh Prince of Bell Air
Machiavelli wrote The Prince
So I assume Prince is the link

7. Trousers ?

8. Love

9. Embarrassment

10. Your homes ?

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

1: Absolutely
7: Yes, but what sort?
8: It must be ;)
9: Yep
10: Not homes

6) Paddleboats - Beatty's 3 Gunboats were paddlesteamers, as was Poirot's vessel for sailing down the Nile.

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Nope ;) (Well, yes, they were, but, that's not the answer...)

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

2) Your most recent modes of travel? :)

4) Wings of a Dove - collared and Diamond.

Do I sense a Madness theme here?

7) Baggy trousers!

Which would make

6) Night Boat to Cairo

2) I Like Driving In My Car

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[idaho-smith.livejournal.com]

1)The Prince

2) Driving In My Car (and probably not Fireball XL5 – the Kia spoils that one!)

3) Michael Caine

4) Wings of a Dove

5) Uncle Sam

6) Night Boat to Cairo

7) Baggy Trousers

8) It Must Be Love

9) Embarrassment (Possibly Cardiac Arrest)

10) The House of Fun (Possibly New Delhi probably not Mr. Speaker)

Hope it's right!

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

All right bar number 10. :)

[ggreig]

Would 10 be "Our House" then?

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

It would indeed :)

Attempt 1, ungoogled. And sadly deficient.

Well, (paxman impression) Y-e-e-e-e-es, (/paxman)

3 and 8 are right ;)

The other two don't get there :)
