I thought so ;) but I just read to clue and immediately thought of delicious cake Grin

My husband is the complete opposite staring at me blankly with every new clue

I got so fed up that I gave DH riddles in German and Italian. Wink

FintyTin · 26/06/2018 09:17

Thank you.

Solomon?

throwcushions · 26/06/2018 07:27

Oh, I'm so sorry all! No, that's not right unfortunately. Two new clues below.

He's very soon to hit the cinemas in the UK. He's a star!

LadyGAgain · 25/06/2018 20:56

I'd love another clue!

FintyTin · 25/06/2018 20:46

Is the suspense getting to anyone else?
If Maria’s not right, could we have another clue, please? Grin

LadyGAgain · 24/06/2018 05:03

Haha! My husband is the complete opposite staring at me blankly with every new clue, shrugging his shoulders followed by a comment along the lines of "I have no idea what you're on about" GrinGrin

MariaMadita · 23/06/2018 21:15

Honoré / Honoratus?

This game is pretty great imo, btw. I feel like certain clues lead to me finding out / learning about things related to the UK / the anglosphere in general. :) (Even though my DH is being a bit of an arse, claiming that this is easy...Smile)

throwcushions · 23/06/2018 21:05

How lovely! I am very jealous! Hope you are having a good time. Greece is fantastic.

Ok, here is mine. This noble and religious man can be a cake to his friends.

This noble and religious man

LadyGAgain · 23/06/2018 19:30

Congrats @throwcushions you're right! And I'm not ashamed to admit I had no idea Byron went to Kefalonia which is where I write this from Blush.
Over to you!

throwcushions · 23/06/2018 15:52

Byron?

LadyGAgain · 23/06/2018 15:34

Great clues @trueblueari .

Ok. This old romantic wrote an epic of its time. Though he died young he took his honorary seat and fought for the Greeks. He can also be found on an antipodean beach.

trueblueari · 23/06/2018 11:11

Well done LadyG you're too good at this!

Can be found literally everywhere - Aria means air, which is everywhere
Grasslands of Africa - she's a lion as in Hebrew it means lioness of God
Opera house - an aria is a solo in an opera
Some people believe she can fly - its Teutonic origin means bird
Most know she's a liar - the best known Aria is the character from Pretty Little Liars.

Over to you!

LadyGAgain · 23/06/2018 05:55

Aria?

trueblueari · 23/06/2018 00:44

Not Alice, sorry!

MariaMadita · 22/06/2018 22:49

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong... But, Alice?

trueblueari · 22/06/2018 22:33

I thought the river part was a reference to Proud Mary but yay! Great clues!

She can be found literally everywhere - from the grasslands of Africa to the opera house. Some people believe she can fly, but most know she's a liar.

FintyTin · 22/06/2018 21:48

You’ve got it @trueblueari.

“She may come out of the river...” - Tina is from the old English Tyne or Tyna meaning river.
“...or be used by a number of friends.” The name can also be a nickname for Christina, Martina, Bettina.
Tina Turner (“...confuse a nit...”) had big hair and also declared that “We don’t need another hero!”
Tina Teaspoon (Button Moon) might help with your cuppa, and Tina (performs to the) Arena.
“Her father helps add another layer.” - patina.

Well done and over to you! [smile)

LadyGAgain · 22/06/2018 21:15

Cher?

trueblueari · 22/06/2018 21:12

Tina?

diddl · 22/06/2018 20:41

Anita?

FintyTin · 22/06/2018 20:20

Sorry, not Barbara either. Another clue:

A very famous owner of the name (although it’s not her birth name) had very big hair in the 80s - so big that it could confuse a nit!

LadyGAgain · 22/06/2018 18:52

Barbara?

Bexter801 · 21/06/2018 23:14

I'm gone crap at this game!!

FintyTin · 21/06/2018 19:50

Not Ella or Dame, either.

Bexter801 · 21/06/2018 14:10

Autocorrects fault! Dame?
