Steward's on an earlier entry: if you hadn't heard of a character, yet guessed it correctly, surely Google or similar has been brought into play. Is this not cheating?


Also, what womanofdulwich did in her last clue entry was v. helpful, ie, lumping all clues together meant one didn't have to search back.


Also, can we have an easypeasy clue so I don't feel so stupid?

Peckhamgatecrasher,


You are obviously referring to a previous comment of mine.


Yes, I did go on-line to find out what other series Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) had appeared in, which led me to the correct answer.


I think you will find that most people use the internet to find out certain info, but you still have to know what to google after working out the sometimes cryptic clues first, so it's hardly cheating!


Anyway, back to my first clue:


A real person portrayed in a novel and on the big screen.

Actually AM I always put people's initials in upper case, lower case always seems incorrect to me.


In future when addressing the other AM I'll use AMO, it's Latin for 'I love' you know.


Hope that's alright with all concerned.

I love you too HB,


But for future reference,


I'm happy to answer to Aq or Aqm.


Really don't want to step on the original AM's toes! :)

    • Looking for a battery operated cat feeder please.
    • Half my family are medics, going back generations, and none of them would ever have gone, or would now go, on strike. I know times have changed, but my family knew what they were signing up for, and accepted the detriment to their families and the hours (which, in the junior years, were way longer when they are now)... because it was not only a vocation, but a stable career for life. And they felt a genuine duty of care to their patients, whom they often put before their own children.  I can only conclude that entry-level junior doctors are more entitled these days. Plus, it's insensitive to nurses, who really do deserve a lot more money and recognition.  There are issues other than pay, like the lack of available posts, and having to move around the country, but they can be improved without a strike.  I don't think the right people are being recruited into the profession anymore. We're all on lower wages and paying more tax than we were ten years ago, but many of us just have to suck it up, work our socks off and get on with it.   
    • Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years.  I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling.  Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?   
    • We have also used Niko the plumber, he was great, fixed both of our leaking toilets and was also super helpful with advice about the shower leaking.
