I'm setting myself a new challenge to make the game more interesting.


Will be posting one clue a day, and will try to make my turn last as long as possible.


Todays first clue, already posted.


Next one tomorrow. The clues will get easier as the days go by.


Aiming (would like) to last a week!

I just wanted to see if I could make it last a week, as a kind of experiment!


But, If you are desperate for more clues, I'll forget about it & post another shortly.


And no, not Ian Curtis

I just wanted to see if I could post 7 clues, without losing my turn & it looks like I achieved it!


It's actually really hard to post relevant clues, without giving too much away at once.


So, the final, giveaway clue:


Watch Closely Now


and you will reveal the character!

can't say as I've seen this film I'm afraid


but John Norman Howard from A Star is Born with Kris Kristofferson and Barbara Streisand.


I can't say as I was a milion miles away with some of my thinking, but I was going down the route of real life music stars played by singers.


He was much better in Blade ;)


Bah, tough one.

1) This characters rock solid career went downhill fast!

He started off as a famous, successful rock singer & threw it all away


2) He was on a mission to self-destruct, and ended up killing himself

At the end of the film, he crashed his car ( I cried!!)


3) My character is from the most recent version of this film

There were two other versions before the 1976 one


4) He has a good voice

He was the lead singer in a rock band


5) The person who played him had another career, apart from acting. So did the leading lady

Kris Kristofferson was a singer before he became an actor, so was Barbra Streisand


6) He was in for a bumpy ride, but may have set a track record

His band was called 'The John Norman Howard Speedway' The 'track' record also referred to music!


7) Watch Closely Now and you will reveal the character!

'Watch Closely Now' was the bands theme song & one of the films most famous tracks.



I think I could've kept that one running for another week!


Well done EP. You got there in the end!

    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa. 
    • How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.
    • Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
