Tyke had the best surface of the clues referencing a musical band, so despite my antipathy toward Oasis, I am awarding him my vote and a champagne supernova.

Jimmu's #24 - no chance 9f parsing without the hint and a huge penny drop !

Congrats spike - well deserved. Thanks for the (unexpected!) mention, jimmy.
Thanks for hosting, buddy. I had heard about the decay of the Greek facilities, but not the others (though Sarajevo is hardly surprising).
Slightly disappointed that Stevie wasn't Nicks!

Congrats Spike and cheers Buddy, enjoyed the clips. Thanks to Tyke, Mattrom, Chris, Jimmy, Paul and Spike for likes and special thanks to Rossim and PaulH for votes.

Well done Spike - thanks Buddy for all the prizes! Cheers Mprs - not many Oasis fans on the forum - appreciate your vote.

Weekend Pr coming up ...

Count me in as an Oasis fan.
