sorry Bad ... I should explain ... cockney rhyming slang is where you use a phrase instead of the word you mean.

Lust has got a few right

Apples and pears = stairs
Ruby Murray = curry

So, someone from certain parts of London may say

"I'm going for a ruby (murray)" and other people from London will understand that this person is actually going for a curry.

So, in summary, all you have to do is find the missing word that rhymes with the phrase

Lust, you got the same as me, except I didn't know pork pies but I did know Pete Tong.

1. Apples and Pears? STAIRS, yes

2. Ruby Murray? CURRY, yep

3. Laugh and a Joke? Er... I guess - A POKE - as in intercourse?

4. Chas and Dave? BRAVE ?

5. Whistle and Flute? SUIT

6. Pork Pies? LIES? I thought this was EYES, but I might be wrong.

7. Rock 'n' Roll? DOLE ?

8. Pete Tong? WRONG

9. Butcher's Hook? CROOK ?

10.Harpers and Queens? Don't know!

If I got any of those right at all I've done better than I think!!!
