No, some are more scaly and slimy than others - I am looking for a connection in which they are precisely the same.

I should think the fish smells more of fish than the musician, while I'm asking in what way they are exactly the same.

I'll resume that one when the Rod Stewart one's concluded.
It seems to confuse the elderly folk (like me) on here to have multiple ones ongoing.
I fell asleep before you posted your third clue request. Another sympton of being past it. Although, in my defence, it was half three in the morning by then local time.

No, I fear not. There are no further pictures to post in the sequence but I could give broad hints to help.

Of course. Clue 1. Only one of his names is significant.

More on request.

What am I?

When the judge decided on the punishment, I'm at the rear.
Im associated with stationary.
I'm the last thing you see before reaching the main city.
Americans generally use the sharp end instead of me.

But a Canadian will be first with the answer...I think. :wink:

Yes! The answer is five and a half yards - precisely.

It makes sense for the first three in some way (it comes at the end of a sentence, stop is stationary, and I guess trains or buses stop when the reach city centre), but I don't get the American sharp end - period.
