    Change a vowel in monster you get Munster... Herman Munster. Offspring = son, but I'm not too sure about the louse hreider connection myself! Maybe it means louse in Icelandic?

    Yup!
    Maybe it's Head Rider Son?
    Hair Rider Son, but pretty much bang on!
    3. Hogan Ephraim
    Yup!
    4 Simon Webster ?
    Yup!

    Just the evil number 2 to get - it's a current player. (Think about the first three words and it should open up the rest for you).

    Yup!

    1. The Caledonian Bard.

    Scott Wagstaff (Scot / Shake Spear = Wag Staff)

    2. In the beginning he realises it's not Big so Gabriel drops the abuse.

    Ben Hamer (Big Ben / Peter Gabriel of Genesis (In the Beginning = first words of Bible) Sledge (abuse, which gets dropped) Hammer = Hamer)

    3. Mr USA is unmasked and it proves tribal.

    Hogan Ephraim (Hulk Hogan also wrestled as a masked Mr America / Ephraim is a Jewish Tribe)

    4. Sough what if the West Indian man can't find the right words.

    Simon Webster (Sough = Sigh, WI man = "mon" (apologies) and you find words in a dictionary = Webster's Dictionary)

    5. You won't get a braver haircut.

    Bob Bolder (Bob = haircut / Bolder = braver)

    6. You can Tell he keeps the team together.

    Billy Bonds (Tell = William / keeps team together = Bonds)

    7. You swap vowels with a monster but end up with the offspring of a louse.

    Hermann Hreidarsson (Herman Munster (U is the swapped vowel / Hair rider's son = louse's offspring)
    Ahh, just got no.2 I think. I wait for someone else to get it.

    Great stuff Sco, making just 7 questions last over 24hrs was impressive.

    Thanks, I know some are a little convoluted but you have to do battle with the power of Google. Tipsy large gathering for a brew at Mr Eubank's house to all (Merry Christmas).

    Blimey...nowhere near with my guess for No.2...I could only tie "drops the abuse" with "Bover" (bother)!!    ;-)

    Well for 60 years I have been on this earth I have gone through life in the firm knowledge that I was confident, intelligent and have good sound common sense and along comes this thread.

    I am now a no nothing mumbling wreck who does not know what day it is.

    Oh,  Silly me it's Good Friday tomorrow
