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! :)

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
