Can you guess the band ...

well gosh! you have made me awfully pert and trim. i have absolutely no idea.

Sister... red...

Venice?

I have a shakey hand...

oh man, i know this. hahahahaha.

Nige, this was meant to be somewhat obscure ... what gave it away?

Helen your hand is in mid gesticulaltion .... you are practising your 'legal moves' :)

Mandy, close, but no cigar :)

the location. i think OJ might get this if she drops in.

Liverpool? OK, our first instinct was right...maybe I should put my glasses on.

Moot... hmmm. Law...

I know it :D

Nige, location is half the answer (sort of) ....

law, claw, paw...

Helen, I am afraid I might have sent you down the wrong path, it has nothing to do with your proffession, but more to do with your familial relationship ....

I think I've got it and if I'm right Maggie you should be shot for that pun......

well, I did warn you .....

tell us tell us.

I like the twisted sister answer

-frown-

OK, well, sisters are half of it .... the river is the other half .....

OH DEAR!!

*Groans*

!!! What are the Dawsons doing in the European Capital of Culture 2008 without my knowledge? Hmm?

The Mersey Sisters?

You know those three iconic buildings are collectively known as the "three Graces". Was that what you were getting at?

Wonderful sketches and I get it too :D

Oh Ok, I get it now, thanks to OJ!

Very apt, a band from Leeds.

You're so good at this Maggie. Puns are the best thing ever!

I wish I did. I'm having a day of great stupidity.

i know someone who was in that band for a bit too!

this is so over my head, but so is much of life.
the UK is so mysterious. who would have thought?

:)

god i love catching up here. it's worth it just because of the conversations you ignite, maggie :)

shows my age....I was thinking ' the liver birds' haha

I'm groaning and humming Dominion at the same time. It's quite difficult you know. ;)

Arctic Monkeys!

The Arctic Monkeys are from Sheffield parabolichobo.

'hobo: oi, watch it!

Ahem. And of course H&B; don't look like monkeys...

I think I have it now, but only after very careful reading of all the above! But I'm not brave enough to say...

Hmm...must be a british things, as i really have no idea :-( but great cartoon

-laughs out loud at OJ and pb-

The Nolan Sisters ... somehow. Are either in the mood for dancing?

Oh dear, this has to be where I admit to my most cringeworthy pun .... the song is one of Leonard Cohen's .... the band of the same name is the Sisters of Mercy (Mersey) ..... well I did warn you ....

Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.
Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.

FF, yep, that's the one ..... I still remember it from my angst filled youth ....... nearly 30 years ago now ......

Geeez Maggie ... so oblique but funny. But don't take me back to my Leonard Cohen washed days ...

oh poo, just too late.
I was so nearly there with my "Tom cat & the crazy sisters" with their #32 hit "oh Liverpool log, lovely Liverpool log"

too late too got it though -perhaps too much of a catholic upbringing!!

great Maggie :-)

Thanks Taniwha and SLG
lol at Joker :)

That took me far too long to get!
