jiggleking - if you are making these clues up then obviously you know the answer so why not give it with your reasoning.
If you are trying to do a published puzzle it is one that is designed to be impossible - ie that getting the right answers to the whole lot is a matter of chance, not skill. The 'right' answers are going to be picked by the editor or a panel of 'celebrities' - and let's face it the majority of 'celebrities' are not renowned for their intellect - and will turn out to be random.
I'd advise you not to waste your time and try more interesting puzzles where you can work out or google for the right answers.
