Bryan Adams is #3

CAn't stop this thing we started

3 cant stop this thing weve started

aaah. wd squares

7. elected

5. hands off she's mine

7.  school's out

Alice Cooper is a one-word answer, you have to break down the clue

#9 is the same

You're gonna hate me for both of these

10. games people play

12, modern love

Poison

7. Poison

I had Poison to include in one of my lists but couldn't find a good enough clue to use

One of my trickiest clues, but apply the same logic to #9 and you have yourself another one-word answer

i thought poison earlier but couldn't fit it. 

Poise - Son

btw, is this forum slow to reload for anyone else or just me?

having a few issues, but other than the crash (which was me alone) it isn't too terrible here

Yes, I get it now aspro. Why I couldn't earlier is anyones guess!

9 is exactly the same and how you guys haven't got #10 is beyond me. You really do not want a clue on that one.

sometimes i completely lose it for ages at a time HGS

How did #10 take so long????

Think thats it. vwd squares and others. Cheers aspro. Swear they're getting more obscure!!

Yes. Easy in hindsight.

Indeed they are, but you done well with a few real tough clues in there

brutal wd all and thanks aspro

anyone have anything lined up for today?  I have about a dozen bands and artists left over from previous effots but no clues as of yet, mainly 90s too.  I could get a list of at least 15 and perhaps post them up 2.30-3.00ish if anyone is interested.

Yes please squares, I'll have some of that... see you at 2.30pm (ish)

OK, I had better put some effort in.

I’ll be able to dip in and out, as per.
One of the joys of working from home, I suppose.

Hi squares, like Desmond I can dip in and out (also working at home at the mo). Also have a nearly-finished list of film cryptics I can post either tomorrow or Saturday.
