What’s the fruit?

Blackcurrants??

Bingo!

Hurrah! Just at work but let me think of a question

What common carpentry tool was apparently brandished by pint-size Mancunian oddball Ian Brown, during the reunion fallout between him and fellow Stone Roses drummer-extraordinaire Alan ‘Reni’ Wren, thereby destroying the fairytale resurrection of the baggy four-piece?

A chisel... With a handle in the shape of a blackcurrant?

Nope.

Well we know it’s not a mask since he’s anti mask.

A mallet?

I bow to your knowledge, sir

An awl, crafted from the discarded blackcurrant trees of North America.

I’ll give you that. Allegedly he lost the plot and went at Reni with a claw hammer. Nice chap.

Honestly, considering I was deciding between a hammer and a mallet I’m not sure I should get the nod for that. I’m sure there are plenty of tradespeople out there who would balk at the suggestion that they’re interchangeable Do you want to ask another one, Prop?

In which year was the film Ice Age released?

I’m guessing this is one of those that makes you feel really old. So I’ll say 2002.

You know your question should be related to the previous one, right?

Give over!! That was a wild guess

Ahh, well I do now. Right.

“Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle” is a line from which late 80s track?

Given it’s related I’m going to guess Ice, Ice Baby.
