Pop Groups, stars and the odd celebrity

[quizstruck]

Last 10 to do out of nearly 100 if anyone can help please. Much appreciated even for a few ideas.

1. Rub out midge.
(Was thinking Erasure but Midge Ure was in UltraVox)

2. Spanish Heavyweight in W.C.

3. Sent for Porridge
(Ronnie Barker although n ot a pop group like majority of others, but a celeb). Any other ideas?

4. This gadget helps you to make good soups

5. A girl's not dressed if she isn't wearing these?
(no group called knickers! But bangles perhaps?)

6. Bad luck return to ...... and start again

7. You have to have these

8. Your washing sometimes ends up like this

9. You go mad if you can't find these when you leave the dance

Many thanks if you can help. Quizstruck

3. "the Criminals"

[chergar]

4. "Pressure Cooker"

[chergar]

6. "the Start"

Sorry I should have posted them all on the one post but I found them once I had already posted and don't know how to edit!

Thanks for those Chergar, I was just looking at 6 and found a group called the Go Go's - I was thinking along the lines of monopoly. What do you think?

Sorry, thanks also to you Mac and Jan Alibobs and Geo. I think I will go with Bangles for no. 5 Usually it's some sort of jewellery.

No. 9 I am thinking along the lines of an item of clothing or taxis or The Cars a group, but does that make sense? You wouldn't go mad if you couldn't find The Cars would you, the The being part of their group, unless I'm taking it too far!

Thanks all. Quizstruck
