It could be like dafadif in our house! My brother spelt daffodil incorrectly and now we never actually call daffodils daffodils, they are daf-a-difs!

Right. Coops is Derren's PA. Twice now somebody has posted about a PA and SBD has given us a banana. Sooooooo its got to be something to do with that.
BA = PA?
Someone called Coops a PA and Derren quipped 'no, (its) BA, cherie' (as in Browns Assistant).

I like your thinking, Hedge - I was working along similar lines myself. It's the clues and trying to tie them in that's frying my brain cell! Maybe the clues aren't in the right order?
So perhaps if we start with "No, BA" - that ties in with the Concorde part, yep? And the London Eye, to an extent. Maybe "Not Only Brown's Assistant... "
cherie = French for dear(est) - a man's foreign friend?
C for Carbon - because he's a diamond
BA instead of PA - WRONG! as in one of SBD's clues..also, they sound alike...as in the clue
 We need more clues - or at least an assessment of our efforts so far. Wonder if SBD and Coops are busy this evening?? (yeah, I know, Comic Aid...) |

Some dyslexic injoke? I know I always get Ps, Ds and Bs mixed up.
And thanks for the screen shot, alocin!

Well I'm no use at guessing so I'll help where I can!
Maybe someone could bribe DB with birthday cake or something...

It might be something to do with Figaro - the big clue post mentioned a little birdie, and he is Derren's favorite foreign friend. Nobacherie might be an anagram describing Coops's job of looking after him:
Ich habe conure or habui conure, meaning i have/had the conure (type of parrot Figaro is), in German and Latin, both languages Derren knows. Or maybe habeas conure like the legal term habeas corpus. All of which are very loose anagrams, but SBD did say not to concentrate on the spelling. |

Well, I DID mention the 'little birdie'/Figaro connection, and the possibility that it might be an anagram back on page 16... 
No-one listens to me... -sobs-

Very good, explanation correct, should make it a bit easier now!!!
But not an acronym

All the clues represent a different letter and all the letters spell a sentence, which probably reads something like this:
WE'RE NOT GOING TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT MEANS, SO SOD OFF!

Go Go might be on to something. Or on something.
If the London Eye clue does relate to Downing Street, then it might simply be saying to ignore Cherie Blair (lots of early guesses related to that). It might also mean that it's to do with the other person there. You know, Tony Blair. Can't really see how that's relevant, though and Coops said the London Eye clue was a bit of a give-away.
So, we have ten numbered clues, but the word isn't an acronym. I've joining Spasm on the high building.

'Kay.
It's a Beckham thing.
".............top of the london eye, looking over buck house, the answer is there, nowt' to do with the scouse."
You can see Victoria station - nowt to do with Scouse 'cause Dave used to play for Man Utd, not Liverpool.
"Fascinating"
No...
"poor old concorde, he fly no more"
...Explanation. End of story.
"Peter Piper Picked A Peck Of Numskull Ninja's"
Numskull Ninja's is Man Utd, right? Are they managed by Peter Piper? What do I know? I support Preston North End...
"Derren, Darren, Duran Duran, Scoops, Big Dean, wrong, wrong WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! "
The Beckham kids' names are VERY wrong...
"fish ans chips are great especially if you hapen to be in
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch."
Every guy knows that if you buy a bird fish and chips you can shag her against a wall (see Jethro, Viz etc), so it's lucky that Dave and Vic didn't conceive any of their kids in Llanfairdoodlywhatsit or they would have had to name them after it.
"Nothing to do with knobs!"
That's toilet humour. Hmm, toilet. Ah! Rebecca Loos.
"MacMillan in the accounts department would lose his job over it."
Harold MacMillan resigned after the Profumo Affair. Affair. See?
"Enrolment at a later stage would certainly mean an imminent sacrifice."
Enrol a new player late in the season, and your imminent sacrifice will be that your team will suck until he's settled in. e.g. Real Madrid.
"Carbon in its purest form."
Diamond - Vic has a diamond in one of her fingernails, apparently. God knows why, I'm sure it would just get in the way when...well, use your imagination. Or, it could be a diamond in it's purest form, i.e. rough, which also describes Vic.
"A man's favourite foreign friend."
Ooh, that's EuroSport, I bet.
The 'HUGE clue' refers to the words 'her station', i.e. Victoria. and the David Frost thing? I'm sure he's been in Beckingham Palace to make his 'Through The Keyhole' shite.
Thus I conclude that Nobacherie means sod all. It's just Coops and Dez taking the piss out of the Beckham's because they've given all their kids dumb names.
What do I win?

So the explanation is something to do with Victoria?
As Coops said it was a big give-away, is it directly linked to the station and not someone else (queen or otherwise) of the same name?
Or did someone have an affair with someone called Victoria?
We might have to set Greeane on you, if you aren't careful, SBD.
She makes Olivier's character in 'Marathon Man' look like Mr Benn.
