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!

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
