OK the link is DUBLIN

Blackpool - Dublin or Dubh Linn is derived from the Old Irish Gaelic, which has its literal meaning "Black Pool".
Sugarloaf - Sugarloaf is the tallest 'Dublin Mountain' yet measures a mere 423.3 meters above sea level.
the Messiah - Handel’s classic "Messiah" was premiered for the first time in 1742 in Dublin
Dracula & Bram Stoker - Bram Stoker the creator of Dracula hails from Dublin
St Valentine - Saint Valentine was martyred in Rome on February 28th eighteen centuries ago His remains are in a cask in White Friar Street Church, Dublin. He is no longer recognised as a Saint by the Vatican.
Oscar Wilde - As with Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde hails from Dublin
"Chancing Your Arm"? - meaning taking a chance. It originates from the famous St. Patricks Cathedral Dublin, where you had to put your hand into a hole to open the Medieval Chapter House door.

Someone else best set the next question
