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!

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
