I think Berly is being represented by Beryl Bainbridge, who surely must be one of the least likely people to be made into a Street Fighter character

 

[Sardonicus]

John Travolta in Battlefield Earth was perhaps an ILL ADVISED decision

Hints:
5. Forgotten 90s WWE icon

Flash Funk is the ring name used by American professional wrestler Charles Bernard Scaggs, better known as 2 Cold Scorpio, during his tenure in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).

Is it @funky?

 

[Neon]

Hints:
17. Beauty that shines bright light a diamonds

Marina and the Diamonds.

@Marina Salty?

 

[ButterTart]

ALL CORRECT!

 

[ButterTart]

I am now back from my humanitarian mission and I'm ready to LET RIP. Who's here? Who's excited? (They do not necessarily go hand in hand)

 

[ExcitableWoof]

I’m on gardening leave, I need something to clutch onto, roll out the tunes!

 

[ButterTart]

ButterTart (pictured) graciously welcomes you to the AMBASSADOR'S RECEPTION. Sadly there are no Ferrero Rocher as the event is being sponsored by Lidl, but please help yourself to a Furry Richard Disappointing Hazelnut Shell.

Shall we get the fuck on with it?
