shaneystar2 you are my number 1 star xx

Alibobs star trap and cue lights look good.Found a theatre terms site on google. I must use this more. I tend to use Ask.com but probably Google is better !

The only thing that fits the last one is In and Out but as yet I can't find a reference,keep searching kitten !

Thank you both, this one has been a bit of a stinker for me. Serves me right for saying to my friends, 'A quiz, yes please, anytime, doesn't matter what it is !' Still at least it's for a good cause and I get some fun and a few more grey hairs ...lol... xx
