Humpty Dumpty!
Now, How did I guess this thread was one of yours Bluejam before I even opened it? LOL!
Great one.
Here's one from me!
Agnus minor stalking Miss Magdaline
Thunk hard about this:is it Mary had a little lamb???-lamb of God ;Agnus Dei and Mary (Magdelene) and the stalking bit would be following her wherever she went??
-never thought about that rhyme (assuming I,ve guessed correctly of course) as being a religious one.
Would Angus Dei be a Bovine involved in the Inquisition?

Very good, it's only taken you 4 days. And Blue jam you haven't explained that ""Jack"" is a nickname for John but I will award a A-. Will have to get other half to come up with more now!
The last one was rather cryptic Katina ... must say that I gave up after about half an hour ... so quite impressed that it's finally been solved!
Have a go at this one!

""Incipient appearance of Ruprecht/Kringle duo leads to unwanted Anatidae obesity
Aren't you supposed to answer mind first? Got hubby working on yours now.
Apologies,I was in the midst of thinking of that one and you just beat me to it!!
Incipient appearance of Ruprecht/Kringle duo leads to unwanted Anatidae obesity""
Answer:- Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat.
Explanation Anatidae refers to group of geese, obesity = fat, and the Incipient appearance of Ruprecht/Kringle = christmas is coming. ARE WE RIGHT?
yup!

Bluejam - is it 'Red sky at Night, shepherds delight' - just a guess because this fits, apart from the Gordon Brown bit!
