41 ne Myers Flat is an area not a village
3 Pop is not The Edge, no NE connection,
8 TV and film is not Sharon Stone, again no NE connection
I also think you have at least 3 more incorrect but as I am entering cannot give too much away.

So, let me get this straight.

You've come here to take what answers you can find off us but you are not prepared to help? Not a very helpful attitude.

Or do you just want to gloat that you know more than us?!

Anyway, a lot of the stuff outside the NE section don't have a NE connection. Unless Carla Bruni Sarkozy has a strong connection with the NE that I am unaware of!

That said, I don't think that 3 Pop is The Edge. I think it's Dave Stewart.
