Nediam Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) Thanks.....all of my questions are answered quickly too. Carrying on with the what do these have in common theme.........What is the connection between Ruby, Teddy, Offa, Lucy, Sadie and a famous politician? I know that Lucy and Sadie are David Blunketts guide dogs, so I'll go with that. Never heard of Ruby, Teddy and Offa though so I might be wrong. (A friend of mine has a dog called Sadie. Would make a terrible guide dog though - unless you fancy chasing rabbits through the brambles at 30mph! ) Edited May 31, 2006 by Nediam Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I know it's already been answered correctly, but weren't (Jack) Ruby, Teddy (Kennedy) and Offa (King of a Saxon kingdom. Liked dykes) all assassinated? Bonus mark? Link to comment
+MJB58 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 SP As far as I know Teddy Kennedy is alive and kicking......well....he's alive at least. As for that band? I'm thinking Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Don't be fooled by the 'fake' Ted Kennedy... That band looks like Loki of 'Winning Eurovision for the Danish' fame to me. Link to comment
Nediam Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) That band looks like Loki of 'Winning Eurovision for the Danish' fame to me. Do you mean Finlands Lordi? (Coz it's not them ) Edited May 31, 2006 by Nediam Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 (edited) I delight in my obvious ignorance of the Eurovision 'award points to your neighbouring country' contest. Does the band's name have any of these words in it?: Blood / Hammer / Death / Axe / Thor / Skull / Thunder / Kill(er/ing/ed/ers/s) Edited May 31, 2006 by Simply Paul Link to comment
