As requested, I'm lumping all the clues together.


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


2) This is definitely not a case of 'out of sight, out of mind!'


3) He wanted to paint the town red.


New clue:


Could his tipple have been a 'shot' of vodka?

Well done edw.


Vasily Zaytsev.


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


Novel = War Of The Rats by David L. Robbins

Movie = Enemy At The Gates


2) This is definitely not a case of 'out of sight, out of mind!'


During the famous sniper battle in the book & movie, the German was never in his sight but always on his mind.


3) He wanted to paint the town red.


He was part of The Red Army at Stalingrad


4) Could his tipple have been a 'shot' of vodka?


It probably was! Considering he was a Russian sniper.



Over to you.

    • Yup. And it was this reaction that caused OP to be told they were over the top, and for other adults to laugh at OP. 🤷‍♂️
    • Thanks for that Sue. Bob S 
    • So Southwark in No Overall Control? Green / LD coalition?
    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
