Alas, I don't know any of those without looking them up.
I will mention that although the collective noun for Baboons used to be 'troop', but following a Not the Nine O'Clock News sketch, 'flange' is now often used. |

Thanks for the "Gerald" clip, Paul - just as well I didn't have gorillas in the list!
Poohbear is on a roll here. To date we have: Apes Bears Buzzards Cheetahs Cormorants Finches - Charm - Pooh Giraffes - Tower - Pooh Greyhounds Gnus Guinea Fowl Hippopotami - Bloat - Pooh Larks - Exaltation - Pooh Leopards - Leap - Pooh Nightingales Owls - Parliament - Sneaky Porcupines Rattlesnakes Rhinoceroses Wombats (Yes, a Kindle of Kittens is a favourite of mine too, but I omitted it - might make the owners of other e-readers feel left out!) |

You are doing brilliantly! So far we have:
5 Pooh 2 Sneaky 2 Stitchawl (It would have been 3 but Anh got in ahead of you with the bears.) 1 Maianhvk So now it looks like this: Apes Bears - Sleuth - Maianhvk Buzzards - Wake - Stitchawl Cheetahs Cormorants Finches - Charm - Pooh Giraffes - Tower - Pooh Greyhounds - Leash - Stitchawl Gnus Guinea Fowl Hippopotami - Bloat - Pooh Larks - Exaltation - Pooh Leopards - Leap - Pooh Nightingales Owls - Parliament - Sneaky Porcupines - Prickle - Sneaky Rattlesnakes Rhinoceroses Wombats Nice tries on Apes, Rattlesnakes and Wombats, Sneaky, but not what I have (which I cross-checked in a couple of places). But you are definitely going the right way with the Rattlesnakes, as is only right and proper. |

Just to tidy this one off then,
1. What do Football, Woolworth, Heinz and Dr Pepper have in common? They are Stud poker games 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? They are Nails (SneakySnake) 10. What do Glastonbury, Caquetoire and an Elizabeth X have in common? All types of Chair So the scores were: Bilbo1967 - 3 Hamlet53 - 3 Shayne Parkinson - 1 SneakySnake - 1 Me - 2 ( ![]() A tie between Bilbo and Hamlet! |
