I got 6 incorrect and none correct before I gave up.
"That bloke over there, out of Ultravox, is really childish."
"Him? Midge Ure?"
"Yes, very."

I got 2 lines but then no matter how I tried couldn't resolve the last two lines. I was helped considerssbly in one category by owning all the mentioned articles.

Edit: So after I just tried different combinations for some time I solved it but still can't see the connections clearly. Only one line had the general description so that you know what category it is.

I thought you might own them.

I think mine is more Only Connect than NYT, and I may drop the difficulty for the next one.

Ah, think I may have to save it at a later point, and it doesn't appear to let me edit it. I'll leave it for any others to try and then detail the other categories.

Had to redo to get the descriptions complete

ok - I didn't get one category at all. I knew the other one but the word that could be used in two ways meant I failed in that category.

To be fair those categories were very murky.

Anyway here's a second attempt

I think NS's are too hard, particularly as there is no limit to the number of guesses.

Here's an easy one.

I think easy is a relative term. Not helped by me thinking that blue was an entirely different category.

Might I suggest a new thread for these "unofficial" games?
"That bloke over there, out of Ultravox, is really childish."
"Him? Midge Ure?"
"Yes, very."

Another themed one - once you spot the theme, probably dead easy.

Nope. I got blue and I can't see anything else.

No wait. I have orange.
