By the way - the clue in question 5 made me think of this popular children's book by Lynley Dodd: Slinky Malinki, Open the Door. - in which Stickybeak Syd is a rainbow lorikeet) 🤣

Love that @pgn 

Must admit to nearly making the same error as you with the Sex Pistols. Jonny Rotten (Lydon) was the lead singer. However, I then remembered that Sid Vicious had that very high profile relationship with a 20 yr old  American Nancy Spungen. They were constantly off their heads on drugs and she was found dead with a knife wound to her stomach. Vicious was accused of her murder but took an overdose whilst on bail and killed himself. The tragic thing is, most police thought Nancy was killed by a dealer, not Sid.

Anyway, I only knew his real name (John Simon Ritchie) due to the court case.

He also had a spat with Freddie Mercury when they were both in the recording studios. Freddie kicked his ass. 😂
