Collective nouns - imput required!

If any of you have read my entire blog you will know that i have a thing about collective nouns and their unusual names. It all started when i was lucky enough to witness a "murmuring or a murmuration" of 
starlings See the blog here.  on a trip in Somerset. A murmuration is a large flock or flocks of starlings that contains literally thousands of birds. When they fly together before roosting time they look like a constantly moving swirling cloud producing a myriad of fantastic shapes in the sky.

Other collective nouns have been for a group of blondes. The suggestions so far are a "peroxide" or a "dither" of blondes.Apologies to any blonde ladies reading my blog! Just a bit of harmless fun.


A dither of blondes? Or a peroxide of blondes?

Other collective nouns requested have been for a group of lifeguards for which a "lush" of lifeguards has been suggested. I quite like this. Lush in this instance is English/Welsh slang for attractive or fanciable.


A "lush of lifeguards.

The final collective noun sought is for a load of bicycles which i photographed after a triathlon in Wales. So far nobody has come up with a suggestion for this one. The only one i can think of is a "spoke" of bicycles. Not really any good!


A "spoke" of bicycles.

If you have any suggestions for any of the above collective nouns leave your ideas in the message section.

Blondes and more blondes.

I just had to share these photos with you. At my recent visit to the first test at Lords we were wandering around during the teatime interval and came across these lovely ladies at the NPower tent. I have never seen so many blondes in the same place at the same time. I have to admit that they did turn my head.

Afterwards we were trying to come up with a suitable collective noun for a group of blondes. The best we could come up with was a 'peroxide of blondes'. Has anyone got a better description?
