Ulysses

As per usual answers in the message body please and no googling. All will be revealed sometime after 9.00pm.

1) Which instrument would you associate with George Formby? Ukelele - basically a toy guitar with just the top four strings and, ironically, rubbish for cleaning winders with

2) 'Everything about you' and 'Cats in the Cradle' were both top 10 hits for which group in 1992? They could have been named after me, except I'm not called Joe, it's Ugly Kid Joe

3) What word is the proper name for the Womb? Uterus if you want to, the lady's not for terusing. What? Uterus, anyway.

4) Which common item, supposedly invented 4,000 years ago first became popular in Europe in the C16th? Guess, but is it Umberella, ella, ella?

5) Boris Johnson is MP for which constituency? Uxbridge and South Ruislip

6) The fictional town 'Llareggub' features in which book by Dylan Thomas? Under Milk Wood. We all know it spells Bugger All backwards. And it was originally a radio play and That Richard Burton was unforgettable in it.

7) Which cricketer took 10 wickets on 47 occasions in a Test Career that lasted from 1970-1984? ...given U going with Deadly Derek Underwood

8) Feargal Sharkey was lead singer with which Irish band? Famously dismissive of the quality of desserts available at the time - A good tart these days is hard to find - it was the Undertones. I wanna, wanna be a male model, indeed; and surely everyone who's ever picked a guitar up has played Teenage Kicks on it.

9) For which 1992 film - in which he also starred - did Clint Eastwood win the Oscar for Best Director? Unforgiven and brilliant it was too.

10) Which TV show ran from 1962-1987 on ITV, and then returned on BBC in 1995 on which channel it still runs? Oh, for f**k's sake. Felt it was going OK up till then. Unclued. Unaware. Unbeknowledged. Unable to score ten.

Many thank yous as ever Saucy
