Guess who!

[Sonic]

I spotted a (moderately) famous person in the car next to me the other day on the Motorway, so I thought we might play a little game of guess who.

Seeing as I am shamelessly pilfering the format from The Chris Moyles Show this should be played to the Jeopardy 'thinking music' - just have a look on you tube if you don't know it.

Rules are simple. One question. One yes/no answer.

If you think you know it, have a guess. Simples.

I'll start!

Is this person a man?

YES!

Next guess. :)

ps - I should think only UK residents will know this one.

[Mark]

Is this man involved in the world of sport?

ps, I've got the Guess Who music stuck in my head now :mad:

[Sonic]

YES! World of sport it is.

I've got it playing on the Ipod :D

[Mark]

Is this sporting man involved in the world of motorsport?

[Sonic]

Mark: No. Not motorsport.

[Mark]

Is this man currently participating in their chosen sport or are they now retired?

[Eki]

Osama Bin Laden, the world champion of hide and seek?

[GridGirl]

I met two moderately famous people on Saturday. I'm now feeling rather happy but also quite guilty as the hotel they own/ work at under charged the meal we had by £78. Just because they are on tv doesn't mean that I know them. That's what I keep telling myself anyway.

Does the location where you saw the man have any links with his sporting profession? By this I mean something along the lines of did you see Gazza is Newcastle.

[Sonic]

Everyone's just leaving you to do all the hard work, then they'll swoop in and guess it at the end :)

Yes retired (although still active, if thats the right way to describe it, within the same sport)

Ps I know that's not a yes no answer, but my game, my rules ;)

[Sonic]

Osama Bin Laden, the world champion of hide and seek?

No. But LOL

Grid Girl: no

[Mark]

Is this person now well known for their TV appearances now they have stopped playing their sport?

[Sonic]

Mark: YES.

[Mark]

So a TV pundit, presenter type person, not involved in motorsport.

Would this person be mostly associated with football?

[Sonic]

Mark: yes again

[Sonic]

Was this guy Jamie Redknapp?

Nope. But moving into the right zone.

[Sonic]

Think older.

[Sonic]

Nope. Probably another generation older still.

[Mark]

I don't know much about football. So my guess is Gary Lineker, if no then I'm out :p

[GridGirl]

Is this man famous for wearing a sheepskin coat?

My guess: John Motson

[MrJan]

Hansen?

[Sonic]

Mark has it! Gary was stuck in traffic next to me on the M1.

Good game peeps. :)

If anyone else has one (recent or historic) then go right ahead.

[Mark]

Yay! Was he eating a bag of crisps?!

I guess GridGirl has started a Guess Who already...

So I'll start..

Was this hotel in the Lake District?

[GridGirl]

Mark, yes it was. If you've looked at Flickr though your a cheater! :p

[Sonic]

Ok, well I haven't looked at any photos so....

Are they both male?

[GridGirl]

Yes they are both male.

[Mark]

I didn't look at flickr - I just know you were in the Lakes!

Is it the Hairy Bikers?

[GridGirl]

No, we're not talking that famous.

[Sonic]

Hmmmmm. Over 40?

[GridGirl]

Sonic - Yes

[Sonic]

Dunno why I asked that. Doesn't much narrow things down. Ermm, bald?

[Mark]

Since we are looking for two people. Would this pair normally known as a double act, where one doesn't usually appear without the other?

[GridGirl]

They are not bald. They are a double act together I suppose but only through how they got famous.

As they are not really that famous and only UK people would be able to guess it I will give you a clue. They featured in a tv show of which the second series in which they were featured recently finished and was replaced by a show of the same nature but different location.

[Sonic]

Was this on C4?

[Rollo]

Ruddy Hell! It's not them is it?

[anthonyvop]

Mark has it! Gary was stuck in traffic next to me on the M1.

Good game peeps. :)

If anyone else has one (recent or historic) then go right ahead.

You said Famous and associated with Football!

Who the hell is Gary Lineker? He ain't famous and is nowhere to be found in the NFL database.

[Rollo]

Gary Lineker isn't famous? He scored against Argentina in possibly one of the most remembered football matches ever.

Then again, it appears you are talking about handegg.

[Daniel]

I think that might be an elbow rather than a hand.

[MrJan]

And that's David Beckham's ankle rather than his foot.

[GridGirl]

Sonic - no C4

No one should tell Vop that Gary Linkeker advertises crisps. Obviously to Vop it's not a crisp because it's a chip and that would start an altogether different argument. :p

[Brown, Jon Brow]

@GridGirl

Are these two men in a relationship together?

[GridGirl]

Jon, no they are not in a relationship. However when I first saw them last Saturday they were both in swimwear and were jumping in Lake Windermere and were having a swim. Not the best site I've ever seen. These two really aren't famous enough for this thread Mark. The next guess who should be made more internationally known.

[Mark]

I guess you need to give us a clue to narrow it down!

[GridGirl]

They were featured in both series of 'The Lakes' tv show which has sinse been replaced in the same time slot by 'The Dales' on ITV. I wouldn't really class them as famous but if you watched the show you would have seen them on tv for 12 weeks this year which is probably more air time than you'd see the average X Factor star.

[Mark]

Ah The Lakes. Another example of a programme that would be good on the BBC, but on ITV ends up being a pile of steaming poo!

Is it the annoying man with the annoying pigs or the annoying man who does lots of swimming or the annoying couple who sail a lot and got married or the annoying coffee shop owners? :p

[MrJan]

Even with Google and the clues given I struggled to find an answer, and even when I did I thought WHOOOOO???!!! :p :

I feel like I've cheated using google though so I'm not going to guess the name, but did one of them try to swim the Channel?

[GridGirl]

I saw Thomas 'The Gladiator' Noblett who indeed has done many charity events including running the 2011 London marathon and attempting to swim the English Channel as well as his right hand man Andrew 'The Admiral' Tighe. Like I said, they are only famous if you have seen the tv show and then you would only class them as Z listers at best. I was however happy that the hotel they run under charged me to the value of 2 three course meals that were very nice indeed. I like it when you get real food for less than the price of frozen and oven cooked Brewsters etc. :D

Now some one else pick someone that everyone can have a go at guessing. This will probably mean that you haven't met the person in the last week. :p

We can argue the difference between European Kick ball and real football all day.

Doesn't change the fact that Gary Lineker ain't even close to being famous.

[MrJan]

He's far more famous than someone like Derek Jeter or Matt Rothilsberger, just you haven't heard of him.

[Sonic]

Doesn't change the fact that Gary Lineker ain't even close to being famous.

To be fair Vop, I did say only UK peeps would know him. He's a household name over here. On Tv weekly, plus a long term advertising campaign for snacks.

[BDunnell]

Maybe you might like to name a football player you consider to be famous. Oh, sorry, I mis-wrote that — who definitely is famous on the grounds that you say so.

To be fair only a billion people saw the 1986 World Cup, and the USA didn't even qualify. There is the annoying little problem that he won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the Copa del Rey with Barcelona, so he probably would only be known by most of Europe, Africa, Asia (because of his time at Nagoya Grampus Eight), the Spanish speaking world including most of South America and Mexico and anywhere that got the English feed of the FA Cup...
... basically Gary Lineker would only be famous to people of a nebulous place called "most of the world", a place with Mr Vop has apparently visited but has previously refused to follow the statute law of.

Splendid.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Lets not feed the 19 year old, socialist, right-wing hating troll.

[steveaki13]

I got quite an easy one for you, my friend is a cab driver and a while back he had a famous person in his cab.

Start from there it shouldn't take too long this one.

Oh well I know the answer even if no one else cares. :p :

[BDunnell]

Well, it obviously can't have been a football/soccer player, because, as we now know, no-one who plays that sport can be classed as famous. So that narrows it down.

[markabilly]

It was me driving Putin to get some groceries and vodka to go with his kool-aid. No big deal.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Is this man an F1 champ and a current f1 driver?

[steveaki13]

Yes: F1 Champ

No: Currant Driver

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Is this person famous for his moustache?

[steveaki13]

Is this person famous for his moustache?

Yes and now famous for the lack of it.

Bring it home now.

[MrJan]

Is it Nigel Mansell? ;)

[steveaki13]

Is it Nigel Mansell? ;)

Ah all that work done by Brown, John Brow and you have stolen his thunder. :p

But You Are Correct it was Nigel.

[MrJan]

Ah all that work done by Brown, John Brow and you have stolen his thunder. :p

But You Are Correct it was Nigel.

That was my tactic, I was watching this thread intently and letting others do the leg work, all the time intending to swoop in and steal the answer :D

I rarely see anyone famous...and even when I do I forget about it.

There are only 3 famous people to come from Devon and they'll be touring somewhere in the world.

[Sonic]

Ah co<k! I had a Nige spot I was going to use a bit later in this thread!

[steveaki13]

Ah co<k! I had a Nige spot I was going to use a bit later in this thread!

Sorry

That was the only really famous story I had.

[MrJan]

JK Rowling went to Exeter Uni....as, I think, did Thom Yorke...ooh and Chris Martin is from Exeter. Oh and Francis Drake used to binge in one of the pubs (he's not around that much these days though), and Dawn Franch apparently lives out Chagford way, as does David James. Liam Tancock (think he's still the WR holder for 50m backstroke) is a local boy, Cliff Bastin ran a pub in Heavitree following his retirement and famous bloke Michael Caines (from Get Carters and The Italian Jobs) is an Exeterite too. So mnahhhhhhhh :p : :D

[Sonic]

Ok, my wife got one in London town so who wants a guess?

Well that's a shame that the thread abruptly ended like this.

Blimey.

I am still waiting for Sonic to reply.

[henners88]

Blimey.

I am still waiting for Sonic to reply.
You'll wait a long time I think. Sonic was very upset when the BBC sold the F1 rights and decided to stop watching F1. Unfortunately that meant he called it a day here too.

[Bagwan]

Ok , I have one .
I built a fire for someone in 1983 .

Who was it ?

[steveaki13]

You'll wait a long time I think. Sonic was very upset when the BBC sold the F1 rights and decided to stop watching F1. Unfortunately that meant he called it a day here too.

I thought I had still seen him post around since then, but its a shame I liked Sonic. :(

[Bagwan]

Ok , I have one .
I built a fire for someone in 1983 .

Who was it ?

Ok then , you all must be having a hard time with this one , so I'll give you a clue or two .

It was at a party , and Roger Moore was there .

[steveaki13]

Was it Roger Moore. :p :


Male?

[Bagwan]

Was it Roger Moore. :p :


Male?

Nope , not Roger .
Robert Wagner was there , too .
But , it wasn't him , either .

And , yes , male .
In fact , this guy had a female on each arm .

[Bagwan]

Nope , not Roger .
Robert Wagner was there , too .
But , it wasn't him , either .

And , yes , male .
In fact , this guy had a female on each arm .

I asked him what kind of fire he wanted , European , or North American style .
He asked what the difference was , just as all those reading this , and you as well , are wondering .

[Bagwan]

I asked him what kind of fire he wanted , European , or North American style .
He asked what the difference was , just as all those reading this , and you as well , are wondering .

Gosh , bagwan , I'm wondering what the difference is between the two is , just like that mystery man .
So , do tell , what is the difference ?

[Bagwan]

Gosh , bagwan , I'm wondering what the difference is between the two is , just like that mystery man .
So , do tell , what is the difference ?

Well , since you asked , the difference is in the log positioning .
The North American fire has the logs sideways across the hearth , and the European way is with the logs perpendicular to that , so you see the ends from the front .

[Bagwan]

Well , since you asked , the difference is in the log positioning .
The North American fire has the logs sideways across the hearth , and the European way is with the logs perpendicular to that , so you see the ends from the front .

So , which way did he choose , then ?

[Bagwan]

So , which way did he choose , then ?

He chose the North American way , showy .

[Bagwan]

He chose the North American way , showy .

Aw , then that's another clue !
So , he's an American .

[Bagwan]

Aw , then that's another clue !
So , he's an American .

Well , now , that would be jumping to conclusions .

I will say that his wife was pretty showy .

[schmenke]

Billy Joel?

[Bagwan]

Billy Joel?

Nope , but she was a model .
But she was made even more famous than her husband , by someone rather more infamous .

[D-Type]

Posh and Becks/

[Bagwan]

Nope , but she was a model .
But she was made even more famous than her husband , by someone rather more infamous .

That was a good guess by schmenke , bagwan .
I was going to say Billy Joel , too .

[Bagwan]

That was a good guess by schmenke , bagwan .
I was going to say Billy Joel , too .

You're right , bagwan .

I guess I was a little misleading with the model idea , though , as she was far better known for television and primarily film .
She did start out as a beauty pageant girl though .

And then she became a sad footnote in American history .

Mind you , her husband didn't look so sad when I met him , with a young girl on each arm .

[Bagwan]

Posh and Becks/

Note that this was back in 1983 .

[Bagwan]

Where did you build that fire , bagwan ?

[Bagwan]

Where did you build that fire , bagwan ?

Ah good question , bagwan .

I was wondering if someone would ask that .

[Bagwan]

Ah good question , bagwan .

I was wondering if someone would ask that .

Well , are you going to tell us ?

[Bagwan]

Well , are you going to tell us ?

Oh , yeah , sorry about that .
I was just thinking about her waving with her sisters from that water tank on the TV show .

It happens , curiously , that the fire was built in a fireplace .

[Bagwan]

Oh , yeah , sorry about that .
I was just thinking about her waving with her sisters from that water tank on the TV show .

It happens , curiously , that the fire was built in a fireplace .

Ha ha .
Funny guy .

Come on . Tell us where the fireplace was .

[Bagwan]

Ha ha .
Funny guy .

Come on . Tell us where the fireplace was .

Ok , ok , I'll tell you .

It was in the oldest chalet in Gstaad .

[Bagwan]

Ok , ok , I'll tell you .

It was in the oldest chalet in Gstaad .

That's in Switzerland , isn't it ?

[Bagwan]

That's in Switzerland , isn't it ?

How did you know that ?
You must have a vast knowledge of the world , bagwan .

[Bagwan]

How did you know that ?
You must have a vast knowledge of the world , bagwan .

Why , thanks , bagwan . You're too kind .

I was just lucky on that one though .
I visited Gstaad once .

[Bagwan]

Why , thanks , bagwan . You're too kind .

I was just lucky on that one though .
I visited Gstaad once .

If you've been there , maybe you should let someone else guess , because you might have seen this person , as he lived there for a while .

[Bagwan]

If you've been there , maybe you should let someone else guess , because you might have seen this person , as he lived there for a while .

What ?
Just because I've been to Gstaad ?
That's not fair .

[Bagwan]

What ?
Just because I've been to Gstaad ?
That's not fair .

Ok , ok , then .
Keep guessing .

Jeez , what a hothead .

[Bagwan]

Ok , ok , then .
Keep guessing .

Jeez , what a hothead .

Are you calling me a "hothead" ?
Where's a moderator when you need one ?

[Bagwan]

Are you calling me a "hothead" ?
Where's a moderator when you need one ?

No , no , no .
I was referring to that infamous guy I mentioned .
Honest !

[Bagwan]

No , no , no .
I was referring to that infamous guy I mentioned .
Honest !

Ok , then .
Was he in Gstaad , too ?

[Bagwan]

Ok , then .
Was he in Gstaad , too ?

Nope , Hollywood .

[Bagwan]

Nope , Hollywood .

Oh , yeah .
She was an actress , right ?

[Bagwan]

Oh , yeah .
She was an actress , right ?

Yep .

[Bagwan]

Yep .

So , that "infamous" guy you were talking about must have been a bad actor ?

[Bagwan]

So , that "infamous" guy you were talking about must have been a bad actor ?

Actually , yes , in a way .
I think he'd be better classified as a "director" .

He did more fancy himself a musician .

[Bagwan]

Actually , yes , in a way .
I think he'd be better classified as a "director" .

He did more fancy himself a musician .

So , it sounds like you're saying he wasn't much of a musician .
And , why the quotes around "director" ?

[Bagwan]

I wondered if you'd ask , being it that she was an actress , if he was a film director .
There is a film director involved here , but it wasn't him .

He is , or was , rather , more the director of a group .

And , no , he wasn't much of a musician .

[Bagwan]

Man , this is a tough one . You're good at this .
By the way , have you noticed that we seem to both be almost always on line at the same time ?
Freaky , eh ?

Hey , it wasn't that weird radical guy , Bhagwan Rajneesh , who had all those Rolls Royces down in California , was it ? He was a sort of "director" of that group , wasn't he ?

Must be on a similar work schedule to you .

And , thanks for saying I'm good , but I couldn't do this without those good questions coming from you , so , I guess you deserve a few kudos also .

No , it has nothing to do with that cult nut , but I do like his first name .

Well , now that steve's here , we might get somewhere .

[Bagwan]

One thing you have wrong , bagwan , is that I never said that she "is" but rather she "was" his wife .

Well , I assumed , because you said that the guy at the fireplace in Gstaad had a girl on both arms , that they were divorced at some point .

[Bagwan]

Well , I assumed , because you said that the guy at the fireplace in Gstaad had a girl on both arms , that they were divorced at some point .

Nope . Never divorced .

[Bagwan]

Nope . Never divorced .

What then , annulled ?

[Bagwan]

What then , annulled ?

Nope , and she was pregnant at the time .

[Bagwan]

Nope , and she was pregnant at the time .

Huh ?

So , I guess we have to figure out what this "trouble" was , that the guy in jail did to his wife , to get at the answer .
It must have been pretty serious if he's in jail for the rest of his life .

And , I'm still puzzled by your changing "for" to "from" in your "squeeky toy" post earlier .

I am confident someone will figure this out .

Bad guy , bad musician , was directed , himself , by a record album .

And , I should have added another "m" , when I changed that , but I thought it might make it too obvious .

Too obvious ?
You've got to be kidding !

[Bagwan]

Too obvious ?
You've got to be kidding !

I just gave you two clues in one post .

Think , man , think !

[Bagwan]

Ok , ok .

So the bad guy thought the record was speaking to him ?
That's crazy .

And , what kind of word is "fromm" ?

[Bagwan]

Ok , ok .

It is .

And , she was too , but she's out now , I think . But then , she was doing his evil bidding .

[Rudy Tamasz]

Manson is the bad guy, and you built that thing for Polanski.

[Bagwan]

Nice job , Rudy !
You got it , man !

bagwan is going to be so bummed that he didn't get it first .

[schmenke]

Charles Manson was an actor/director? :?:
...and what's the connection with the chalet in Switzerland? Wasn't he a hippie that spent his life in California?

Cripes Baggy, some cryptic clues you dropped there... :s Glad it's over :p :

[Rudy Tamasz]

It took me about a minute to crack it even though I didn't bother to read the original post. There's so much useless info in my head, I wish I was less knowledgeable about pop culture.

And here's the one from me. Once I was enjoying myself in the downtown of a big Central European city when I heard somebody speaking English with a specific British accent. I turned my head and saw him. He was there, with a young lady, some five inches taller than him. I thought she was from an escort agency or something. He had a hat and sunglasses on and nobody recognized him. I immediately took out my pen and moved closer to him to get a autograph, but his guard gave me a negative sign. I respected the privacy of the guy and left.

He's a household name. He's a musician, or rather a singer, although I think he knows some chords on guitar. He's famous for womanizing and other love affairs. He's a fan of jogging. Who's he?

Charlie directed the girls , including Lynette "Sqeeky" Fromm , in the evil deeds .
Sharon Tate , the girl waving from the water tower in TV's "Pettycoat Junction" , was killed when over nine months pregnant
It was Roman who spent a lot of his time exiled in Gstaad when he was fighting incarceration for statutory rape . Ironic , to say the least , that he had a young girl on each arm .

It's Rudy's turn , if he wants to give it a go , I guess .

Sorry if you found it tedious .

Too bad bagwan didn't get it , because I know he's met a few pretty famous people .

Did you see this guy recently ?

[Bagwan]

By the way , Rudy , what was it that gave it to you in bagwan's guess who ?
I'm so angry at myself for not getting it . It seems so obvious now .
I even saw Polanski , myself , when I visited Gstaad .

[Rudy Tamasz]

Did you see this guy recently ?

No, that was back in 2007. But the guy seems to be timeless. He was around before my parents met each other, and I'm 39.

I got the bad guy first. He's in jail for life for being mean to your vis-a-vis' wife and it clicked with me immediately. I didn't have to guess, I just knew it. In fact I've read Manson's story somewhere and I probably know more about him than about Polanski. I only saw a couple of Polanski's movies and then his arrest made the news.

[Firstgear]

Mick Jagger

[Rudy Tamasz]

Mick Jagger

Bingo! And if I may, how did you figure out this was Jagger as opposed to, say, Engelbert Humperdink? :)

[Firstgear]

Your clues (British accent, singer, ageless, maybe guitar, household name) along with my limited knowledge, I came up with only two names: Jagger & Bowie. I didn't think Bowie had been around quite as long, so I went with Jagger.

Would Humperdink fit with the clue womanizer?

Back in a short bit with my sighting.

[Firstgear]

I live in a smaller city (Winnipeg), in the middle of nowhere, where few celebrities dare to venture, and I guess I don't get out much so I'll have to go back a number of years.

In the late 90's I was working in an office building right next to our Legislative building. There was a movie being shot there, so I decided to try and take a peak during my lunch hour. I got inside and was able to watch part of a shoot from the bottom of a staircase that wraps back and forth up a couple of floors. I spotted someone I'd seen on TV before (although I never really watched the show) on the landing half a floor up. She was the star of a show that ran through most of the 90's. I watched for about 10 minutes, and thought she's prettier in person than on TV.
Then last winter, I was watching a James Bond flick (from the 70's) that I hadn't seen in years and saw her again. No wonder she's still looking good - she was a Bond girl.
Guess who?

[schmenke]

Last Christmas the missus bought me the bluray 50th anniversary box set of all the Bond films. I’ve only just gotten to the 70’s. I’ll get back to you after the weekend :p : .

[gadjo_dilo]

Jane Seymour.

[Firstgear]

That's right.
Dr Quinn Medicine Woman = Solitaire from Live and Let Die = Jane Seymour
No idea who she was in that film shoot - I don't think the movie really went anywhere.

Your turn gadjo_dilo

[gadjo_dilo]

Sorry, I don't know the rules of this game. I read the latest posts accidentally and tried to make some connections. ( Which is weird as I never watched a Bond film. However I know very well the actors ).
Please ask you something on my behalf.

[Rudy Tamasz]

There was a lady who had something in common with the actress who played the Bond's girl. She was a character of a song co-written by Mick Jagger. That's easy, right? Who's she?

[gadjo_dilo]

Jane Seymour the queen?
:laugh:

[Rudy Tamasz]

You got it! Now it's your turn again. ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

Once again I'll let any of you to ask a Q.

[Bagwan]

Any of us ?

[Bagwan]

Any of us ?

Yeah , like he said , "Any of us ?" .

[Rudy Tamasz]

Yeah , like he said , "Any of us ?" .

Umm, like SHE said, "any of us", he-he, he-he, he-he...

[Bagwan]

Umm, like SHE said, "any of us", he-he, he-he, he-he...

Umm , I was quoting bagwan , not her .
And , I know bagwan to be a dude , dude .

[Bagwan]

Umm , I was quoting bagwan , not her .
And , I know bagwan to be a dude , dude .

Yeah , I am a dude , Rudy .

So , here's your next one then :
I have a relative that just won one of the biggest awards in the Canadian music biz .

Who is it ?

[Rudy Tamasz]

Brian Adams? :)

[Bagwan]

Brian Adams? :)

No , her name isn't Brian Adams .
And , Brian won nothing at the awards this year anyway .

[gadjo_dilo]

If it's a she it's not Juztin Bieber

Celine Dion ?

[Bagwan]

No , she's not Justin , and no , no , no , she's not Celine .

She's originally from Prince Edward Island .

[schmenke]

Please tell me it's not Carley Rae :s

[Bagwan]

Please tell me it's not Carley Rae :s

Ah , rest easy , as it's not her .
She wasn't on the telecast portion , but rather , on the night before , when they give out all the other awards .

[schmenke]

Many talented musicians from out east but I can't think of any that are from PEI :mark: .
Perhaps Amanda Marshall...? Where's she from?

[Bagwan]

She's from near Kensington , a wee place called Park Corner , near Skinner's pond , where Stompin' Tom came from .
She was right up front at the ECMAs .

[Bagwan]

By the way , bagwan's not allowed to guess on this one , as I believe he's related to her in some way , too .

[Bagwan]

Yeah , I knew who you meant on the first clue , but I didn't want to spoil your fun .

[Bagwan]

Yeah , I knew who you meant on the first clue , but I didn't want to spoil your fun .

Thanks for that .
You're a nice guy .

[Bagwan]

Thanks for that .
You're a nice guy .

No sweat , man .
You forgot to mention that she took home three awards at the ECMAs .

[Bagwan]

Hey , shut up .
I'm giving out the clues here !

[Bagwan]

Hey , where did everybody go ?

[Bagwan]

Hey , where did everybody go ?

I think they got lost in Boston .

[Bagwan]

I think they got lost in Boston .

Hey , there's a connection to Boston in this .
She produced her winning album in Boston .

I thought I told you that I was giving the clues out here .

[Bagwan]

No , you've got that wrong .
I told you that .

[Bagwan]

"We have made a spark" .

[Bagwan]

"We have made a spark" .

Hey , cut that out !
You're going to make it too easy !

[Bagwan]

Hey , cut that out !
You're going to make it too easy !

Easy ?
With your cryptic clues ?
Dream on , man .

[Bagwan]

Well , you've done it now .

[Bagwan]

Well , you've done it now .
I've done what ?
What did I do ?

[Bagwan]

I've done what ?
What did I do ?

It seems you've successfully hi-jacked this thread .

[Bagwan]

It seems you've successfully hi-jacked this thread .

Me ?
Hi-jacked this thread ?

I don't think so , pal .
Other people have posted since I started asking "Guess who!" .

Yeah maybe , but not many .

[Bagwan]

Yeah maybe , but not many .

So what , it only takes one right answer .
And , Rudy got it .

[Bagwan]

So what , it only takes one right answer .
And , Rudy got it .

So , Rudy is your hero , then ?

[Bagwan]

So , Rudy is your hero , then ?

Now , what the heck are you on about ?
Other people guessed as well , but he got it .

Anyway , what are you here for , if not to guess , like the game states ?

[Bagwan]

Now , what the heck are you on about ?

I felt sorry for you , because nobody else was posting in this thread .

[Bagwan]

I felt sorry for you , because nobody else was posting in this thread .

Oh great , so you've been here merely pity posting ?

[Bagwan]

Oh great , so you've been here merely pity posting ?

Yes .

However , I was also drawn in by the ingenious intercontinental chase on which you sent us , to find , finally , the man for whom you built the fire .
As John Cleese said , in the cheese shop , " I'm keen to guess ." .

May I give another clue ?

[Bagwan]

Yes .

Since you were nice about it , and actually asked this time , yes .

Go ahead .

[Bagwan]

A recap first , is in order .

It's a "she" .
She won three East Coast Music Awards , and co-hosted the event .
She won a Juno Award . It was on the non-televised night .
She's from Prince Edward Island .
She made the album that won the awards in Boston .

My clue is , that "We have made a spark." is the name of the album .

Good recap , but giving up that that's the name of the album might be making it a bit too easy .
We might expect someone to have access to a computer if they are reading this .
Google is not just your friend , you know .

I'll give one more clue now , as I think maybe someone will get this soon .
She is my niece .

That probably makes it really obvious now .

[Rudy Tamasz]

Umm, I guess my version is terribly wrong, but anyway. Rose Cousins?

[Bagwan]

Umm, I guess my version is terribly wrong, but anyway. Rose Cousins?

You are awesome , Rudy .
You got it .

She's my sister's kid .

"And , isn't she awesome as well ?" said the proud uncle .

[Rudy Tamasz]

She must be a really good singer. Her albums got very flattering reviews.

[Bagwan]

Youtube her .

She also appears on many albums singing back-up for all her friends out there .

If I wasn't such a Luddite , I would be able to post links to her vids .

[donKey jote]

:bandit:
L5iNAbay8ug

[Bagwan]

Awesome , donKey .
You're my hero , too .

[Bagwan]

Somebody had better come up with a new "guess who" soon , or I'll have to . Hee hee .

Go , Rudy , go !

[Bagwan]

Alright then , you cats asked for it , or , at least , haven't stepped up to denounce the idea , so , here's another one :
I was walking across a big area of new cement , in a huge crowd , in 1976 , when I saw someone I recognized , about 100 yards away .
Guess who .

[schmenke]

Burton Cummings

[Bagwan]

Burton Cummings

Nope , but great guess !
That part was not a clue , just the name of the game .
And , that wasn't a clue either .

He was French , and a big star in a couple of areas of entertainment .
That was a clue , or maybe , a few .

[donKey jote]

Marlon Brando

[Bagwan]

Marlon Brando

Bigger than Brando .

[gadjo_dilo]

Alain Delon. :devil:

[Bagwan]

Alain Delon. :devil:

Bigger star than even Alain Delon .

[gadjo_dilo]

Jean Gabin

[Firstgear]

Andre the Giant

[Bagwan]

Andre the Giant

Dude , that's the man !

It was crazy , walking across a huge crowd near the velodrome , at 6ft 3 , I was able to largely see over the crowd , and there he was , way over there , with the people around him looking like munchkins .

Your turn , Firstgear .

[Firstgear]

I was going to guess Kareem Abdul Jabar until you gave the 'French' clue. Andre was great in The Princess Bride. Here's mine - Late 90's at Whistler /Blackcomb. I saw her at the end of the day, in one of the shops, looking very much out of place in a fur coat going down to her ankles. Guess who?

[schmenke]

Elizabeth Taylor

[Mintexmemory]

Kate Moss

[Firstgear]

Nope and nope. She's probably best known for a 90's TV series in a setting way down the coast from where I spotted her.

[Bagwan]

How about Tori Spelling ?

[Firstgear]

You're getting kind of close. Approximately the right setting, but wrong TV show and wrong color hair.

[schmenke]

Heather Locklear?

[schmenke]

...Oops, she's a blonde too isn't she?

[Firstgear]

Heather definitely had the right assets, umm I mean qualifications, to fit the cast of the show that the girl I spotted is famous for. But by the time this show aired, Heather may have been just a bit long in the tooth, and yeah - the girl I spotted is a brunette.

[Bagwan]

If Heather is described as "long in the tooth" , then Valerie Bertinelli wouldn't fit the bill either then , would she ?

[Firstgear]

Well, long in the tooth in a Hollywood sense, and not Valerie. I don't think I ever watched an entire episode of the show she was in, but I can still remember what she would wear.....a red one-piece.....

[schmenke]

Carmen Electra

[Firstgear]

I had to wiki Carmen to see what she had done (heard the name - no idea what she's famous for) and it turns out she's been on Baywatch, amongst other things. So, right TV show - but wrong brunette.

[Bagwan]

Erika Eleniac ? Is that you spell her name ?
