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!

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
