I'm off to bed now, so I'm happy for who ever's go it is legitimately to take over. I'll check any further attempt in the morning and supply answers as necessary. The current run of play is:

1. What do Football, Woolworth, Heinz and Dr Pepper have in common?

2. What do Karl Marx, Michael Faraday, Herbert Spencer and George Eliot have in common? All buried at Highgate Cemetery (Bilbo1967)

3. What do Romney Marsh, Suffolk, Clun, Forest and Swaledale have in common? Breeds of sheep (Shayne Parkinson)

4. What do tulip, balloon, and flute have in common? Types of Wine Glass (Bilbo1967)

5. What did the poets Wordsworth, Tennyson, John Masefield and John Betjeman have in common? Poets Laureate (Hamlet53)

6. What do nitrous oxide, sodium pentothal and cyclo propane have in common? General Anaesthetics (Hamlet53)

7. What do Micmac, Cree and Ojibwa have in common? North American tribes (Hamlet53)

8. What do Coburg, Vienna, Cottage and Bloomer have in common? Types of loaf (Bilbo1967)

9. Clout, Lost Head, Box and French are all types of what?

10. What do Glastonbury, Caquetoire and an Elizabeth X have in common?

Bilbo and Hamlet are neck and neck with 3 each.

Having spent time on both Cree and Ojibwa reservations around the Great Lakes in Canada, yes... very annoyed at sleeping though this!

(Just as a side note: The town of Wawa, Ontario is filled with ONLY beautiful females. From age 2-82 every single one of them is blindingly gorgeous! Yes, there are men in Wawa, but no one ever notices them...)

Stitchawl

One cannot live in Wisconsin and not be familiar with the Ojibwa, especially in the area I live in. Even if it is only through knowing about the casino on the Lac du Flambeau reservation.

So you were in Wawa and you chose to leave?

Reporting for duty: I'm going to have to learn to go without sleep!

It looks as if Orlok's quiz is almost finished, so maybe I should put in my offering and it can overlap a bit with the tidying up of the last one.

I'm looking for the collective nouns for the following. Some have more than one noun given to them. A point for every correct one. I have left out the more obvious ones like "herd" or "flock".

Apes
Bears
Buzzards
Cheetahs
Cormorants
Finches
Giraffes
Greyhounds
Gnus
Guinea Fowl
Hippopotami
Larks
Leopards
Nightingales
Owls
Porcupines
Rattlesnakes
Rhinoceroses
Wombats
