9 is going to be Puck...I'd have thought.  Certainly the prancing poofta looks like the Shakespearian sprite.

7. Sir Benjamin Britten

19 some connection to poultry? Chick lit; Rooster; hanCock?

Lincoln is Egg.

Hen ry rollins

I claimed the Puck answer as my own. My team now think I am a genius!

Q13 is "All Quiet on the Preston Front" 

You're welcome.   But if one of them is a fit Eastern European bird, who is now fallen for you, convinced of your sensitive nature, because of your knowledge of ballet and Shakespeare, could you refer her in my direction?

Q14 is Hoisin

Think that's all except the 90's TV show.

If you're still looking for No 17, it's Marlene Dietrich.

I gave you that one (above).  It's "All Quiet on the Preston Front".

4D got that :o

 :doh:   :)

There are 2 women in my team Reg. 1 is a really lovely Indian lady who is reasonably attractive but married. The other has a variety of nicknames, Debbie Downer, Fat Mess, Fat Mule etc who is possibly the most irritating person I have ever encountered in my life.

In fact from what I have seen, this building is devoid of any 'eye candy' sadly.

Sorry missed that....think that's the lot then. Shit what we gonna do now?

A workplace with no eye candy, doesn't really bear thinking about. The Indian lady is probably in an arranged marriage...you never know what goes on there.

Actually she is married to a guy from Cork!

My walk from Waterloo to the office is the only eye candy I get :(

Buy some haribo and stick them to sunglasses.

Good work, sir! You really should do that, BO.

Perhaps I will!

I'll need to look out my 'ree-beens' in order for this to be achieved (sunglasses bought in Turkey, hence the brand name

Jelly beans then
