19 must be musicals or theatre shows? Hair and cats maybe?

Sort of got 19 then....but service, cosy and light....distinctly dodgy. Still good work from Pisser and 4D....not sure anyone got 2 mind. I really struggle on birds in TV, film, fashion....no idea who Jennifer Lawrence is. Fortunately in my quiz team, there's some young fellas who deal with that shit. Oh and Mozambique rather than Cameroon  Cameroon, I've always considered a French colony, but believe we did have a bit of it at one time. Mozambique, however was Portuguese, well I recall the Frelimo campaign of the mid 70's...difficult to think that both Spain and Portugal were run by nasty right wing governments well into the 1970's |

Is she the bird of the nude photo scandal? Of course, I wouldn't compromise someone's privacy by looking this up.....  . |
