Agree with all of rAlny's answers

I'd say 21 is Jack (Whitehall) Johnson (PM) - Ugly Rumours would be something like Dubious Claims about Level of Beauty

OMG rA1ny is just far too good at this. I'm not thinking cryptically enough. I could only find a Jo Johnson who was an MP not a PM, didn't think of it as Jack(Whitehall) the comedian & Johnson (BorisPM)

I wonder if another possible answer for 39 could be the Scottish band Capercaillie?

The reasoning is that 'caper' is a synonym for 'dance', and also contains the word 'ape'; and a ceilidh involves dancing on the move. But I could be clutching at straws here...

I bow down to your amazing cryptic knowledge rAIny. :TI would go with your answer, not mine, as Capercaillie is a band whereas Conga Revolution isn't really a band as such. You're not one of the Chasers from The Chase in disguise are you? If not then you should get yourself on there, I'm sure you'd thrash them :rotfl:

Jo Johnson is actually Boris's younger (and arguably smarter) brother.

There is a DJ called Bonobo.... A bonobo being a type of chimp but that's as much a guess any other.

I've just gone through everyone's answers and made a list of what seems, to me, to be the most likely. Which didn't include the two I suggested above.

In case it's helpful, I thought I'd add it here. But I suggest that you think about each one, in case you disagree with any that I made use of. Thanks, as always, to everyone who has contributed

47. An unverifiable tale of a toilet

John Legend seems more likely.

John = toilet
Legend = unverifiable tale

After all that, I just got a failed delivery for my email. Can I check, what email address other's are using, and if anyone else got a failed delivery response? I emailed: jeremy@cdpweb.co.uk, from the link in post #1
