Shrimps or prawns?

 

Close, I was after the name the clues pointed to.

 

John Cornell. Paul Hogan Paul Hogan Show

 

Very close, I want just one word, starts with S.

I'll get the star ready.

 

Strop

 

Bingo, Aussies win for a change .

(Besides, everybody else is asleep).

 

Okay, here is the guy; post his name, and how the rebus contributed to it:

 

Bill Blass
Dollar "BILL"
Kirsten BelL
Buttock 'Ass"

 

Bravo!

 

My first attempt was Bill, Bell and Bum

 

I’m afraid I am NO match for some of you folks!

Ok my first Rebus

 

Longines?

 

Here’s a horologically related one.

And I thought this would be so self evident that there would be a reply within minutes! What does the globe depict? Decide that, and the answer will hit you between the eyes,

 

Longitude.

Also the story of John Harrison and his efforts to perfect the marine chronometer.

PS: Just saw the rest of the requirements.

 

Longitude is right. The answer I was after is indeed John Harrison.
