    The second word wasn't a problem. Not sure what the first is.

    That's why I gave the extra letter in the second word.

    Little Richard = / - i - - /

    (Extra clue because I'm feeling unusually benevolent today - it's an old method of diagnosing scarlet fever.)

    Strangely, I considered both words, but never thought of putting them together! How do you know this stuff?!!

    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    I saw Barry Epstein amongst all that. Shame he wasn't a popstar or even existed in any meaningful way.

    Part man, part sponge. Couldn't tell you what I had for dinner yesterday, but useless trivia - that's permanently absorbed. Mrs Grise is a nurse, maybe she mentioned it one day.

    Sheepish Britney Spears - not a notion. I'll need help with this one.

    Oops, she did it again. Sadly the shears didn't knock any sense into her. However, fans of this massive sandbox game find them particularly useful. (10)
