Correct!
A “John” is a slang term for a prostitute’s client. Erised refers to a mirror; to mirror someone is to copy them, which is what parrots do.

Iranu earns an extra point for use of the word ‘seedy’. Well done, and as you were.

No, Prop joked that I get an extra point for using seedy, so I joked that you’d better include it on my next points total.

I saw that, I just have no idea why the use of the word seedy got some excitement, it must be some kind of reference (aka: in-joke) I'm not aware of?

I’m not sure why it requires analysis.

Me either, hence why I'm confused about the request for extra points?
And yes, I'm aware that the request probably wasn't serious, I'm mostly just asking for the joke to be explained because I'm feeling left out, etc.

Security isn’t a dirty word, Blackadder. Crevice is a dirty word, but security isn’t.
It’s something along those lines, LDS. There’s no in-joke you’re missing out on. Just my moment of self-amusement

@LDS Parrots are birds, birds eat seeds, so the clue worked on multiple levels.
A reminder of the current clue:

Not Phil Studd, we're looking for a current professional

Mark King?
A notation could be a marking, and Kings are playing cards?

Graeme Dott's nickname can be The Pocket Rocket & pocket rockets is a slang term in snooker for 2 aces, mostly used in Texas Hold'em as your dealt hand.

Might be my imagination but it seems Dott gets guessed on pretty much every clue
Not correct on this occasion, I'm afraid.

Yeah he does! & it's funny you say that because as I was writing that answer I wondered if I should also tally up which players get most guesses and clues
Anyway, next guess:
Tony Knowles, as he's nicknamed Stud.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if Knowels would count, as he did pop up competing for a tournament recently.
Just getting the obvious ones out the way as per tradition & there's quite a lot of poker ones in this category.

What about Rory McLeod as he’s a “Caribbean stud”?

That's a good one.
Another one I'm not sure about their professional status is Marco Fu who's Full (house) of Eastern Promise (ery note)

Gao Yang?
The river is a term in poker, so maybe Gao Yang(tze)?
Or Robin Hull after the river Hull.

Last punt for a bit:
Mark Gray, I think Mark can be a term in poker, and Gray Code is a type of notation to do with binary.
