Ah, one of my fave jokes: George Michael went in to spend a penny and came out with two coppers. Yep, I think any link, no matter how tenuous, will be acceptable in this instance
New one on me too! I have read Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh though so am aware of some of these Scottish regional dialect expressions. I believe 'money' is called 'poppy' isn't it Shakes?

Can't say I'm familiar with the term 'poppy' TC, but lingo does differ from region to region. Have you read Porno (follow up to Trainspotting) by Welsh yet?? Its better than Trainspotting imo, absolutely hilarious.
I would love to type in my normal lingo on here... bit ye's widnae huv a scooby whit ah wis blethering oan aboot, an we cannae be huvin that noo kin we, ken whit ah mean?

I've got a corker of a new theme if someone just wants to land number ten and not set a new one
I'm intrigued!
Ok, a song by a band that has a connection with the lead singer, eg:
1) Gardening At Night - REM
Lead singer: Michael Stipe. In botany, a stipe is a stalk that supports some other structure. Botany, plants, gardening - geddit?!
We might have to scrap this one if it's too hard
2) Bad Boys - Wham
George Michael has been a bad boy recently due to his frequent drug driving excapades and lets not forget that incident in 1998 in that toilet in LA
Now this is without doubt tenuous!
3) Songbird - Coldplay
Lead singer is Chris Martin and a Housemartin is a type of bird. Howzatt then?
Sting is the lead singer and bee stings are painful *I'll get me coat*
Fish is the lead singer and you can buy fish from a fishmarket (I find it easier if the lead singers have obscure stage names)
Bryan Ferry being the lead singer
Mick Jagger is the lead singer
I see, I didn't know the word jagger meant anything
8) Two Guitars Clash - The Clash
Lead singer: Joe Strummer
Neil Tennant
