Winston S Churchill.

your go ;)

[JimAttrill]

Ok, who is this:
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/JimAttrill/150px-Diesel_1883.jpg

[jepaton]

The game only really works when you don't have the guy's name in the
URL! The answer is obviously Rudolf Diesel.

Jonathan Paton

[JimAttrill]

Very true, I will change the name next time!

Are you any relation of the Jonathan Paton I knew at Wits, son of Alan Paton the author?

[jepaton]

Are you any relation of the Jonathan Paton I knew at Wits, son of Alan Paton the author?No.

A little research suggests I'm a little too young to be him. Although
Alan's father was James Paton from Scotland. Somewhere deep in my
ancestry I could be related somehow. But that is a completely different
game of "who am I?".

Jonathan Paton

[JimAttrill]

Jonathan, it's really your turn now but as you 'cheated' last time I'll try another photo ;) How about this one?
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/JimAttrill/HaroldMacmillan.jpg

[JOHNSTAR]

Is it HaroldMacmillan.jpg? ;):D

[JimAttrill]

Ha! Gotcha! But he does look a bit like "you've never had it so good Harold", doesn't he? :D

A clue - his name is also Harold .....

[tycroes48]

He looks an RAF type.

Is it Sir Harry Broadhurst?

[JimAttrill]

No. He was not in the RAF.

Clue he has a connection with LRs

[tycroes48]

Well it`s been a week since you posed this last question with no answers up till now.
I have discounted Maurice and Spencer Wilkes, James Taylor,David Mitchell and the five members of the First Overland trip Tim Slessor, Patrick Murphy, Anthony Barrington Brown, Adrian Cowell and Nigel Newbery (Don`t know if their middle name is Harold) and also Phil Bashall.

Your going to have to give us another clue?

[educationalist]

Clue he has a connection with LRs
It's not 'Harold' 'Hubber' is it. :D Last seen or heard from 'God knows when!' :rolleyes:

[JimAttrill]

Ok here is a clue. His name appeared on every diesel LR as he had the patents ....

Now I have made it too easy, but what the...

[educationalist]

Rudolf Diesel (I thought you said his name was Harold)

http://droitdanslemur.blogspot.com/2005/03/rudolf-diesel-1858-1913.html (http://droitdanslemur.blogspot.com/2005/03/rudolf-diesel-1858-1913.html)

[TEMPL4R]

Nope.

It's the inventor of the precombustion chamber. He sounds like he's an Italian. ;)

Chris

[tycroes48]

Harry Ricardo

[TEMPL4R]

Yes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Ricardo

Chris

[JimAttrill]

SIR Harry Ricardo, that is ;)

Ok, your go

[tycroes48]

Jim should get this one fairly easily

[tycroes48]

Sorry, having probs with the photo

[JimAttrill]

The clothes look a bit foreign - is he a Kraut?

[tycroes48]

He was from Belgium I believe.

[JimAttrill]

Famous Belgians are pretty rare....

Chris

[tycroes48]

Did`nt think it would take too long.

Armand and Michael Dennis. I put my liking for natural history down to these two people.As a child in the 50`s I used to watch there exploits in Africa every week.

[JimAttrill]

I only used to watch Bill and Ben Flowerpot men :D

[JimAttrill]

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/JimAttrill/fpm_and_weed.jpg

[educationalist]

I had never heard of them but a quick Google found them under adult entrainment Home (http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/adults/other/onsafari.htm) Adults' (http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/adults/other/onsafari.htm) Programmes (http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/adults/other/onsafari.htm) > (http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/adults/other/onsafari.htm)On Safari looking at the woman I can see where the adult bit comes in ;)

[tycroes48]

As I left the name on the jpg Templar has given me another go.
Anyone know this guy?

[educationalist]

[TEMPL4R]

Chris

[tycroes48]

Third time lucky. Try this one

[red]

[tycroes48]

No it`s not Bilko.

[Roger Whittle]

Is it the actor who played Eliza Doolittle's father? I can never remember names. :rolleyes:

Roger.

[tycroes48]

You mean Stanley Holloway!

No, it was`nt him.

[JimAttrill]

Henry Kissinger?

[tycroes48]

No, not Henry Kissinger

[educationalist]

He has a look of an old Cary Grant?

[tycroes48]

He has a look of an old Cary Grant?

No, not him either

[JimAttrill]

He must be a yank, judging by his shirt....

[tycroes48]

Definately American.

[educationalist]

any chance of a clue

[educationalist]

is it Jim Backus from Mad Mad World?

[tycroes48]

is it Jim Backus from Mad Mad World?

Give that man a lollipop.

Jim Bachus - Voice of Mr.Magoo - Thurston Howell lll in Gilligans Island and many more

[educationalist]

OK here is new face not in films or TV though he has been mentioned on the box a fair bit recently.

[JimAttrill]

Looks sort of Swedish. But I reckon we need a clue here. Being on the box in the UK doesn't help me much :(

[ROB 110 HICAP]

Barnes Wallace, bouncing bomb fame?

[jepaton]

Wikipedia says yes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes_Wallis

Jonathan Paton

[educationalist]

Barnes Wallace, bouncing bomb fame?


Wikipedia says yes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes_Wallis

Jonathan Paton


ROB 110 HICAP gets it. Lancaster bombers flew over Derwent last week to mark the aniversary.

[ROB 110 HICAP]

Have a go....

[red]

santa :confused: no idea lol

[ROB 110 HICAP]

Fraid not, and its not Roger Whittle at the weekend or Uncle Albert either:D

[tycroes48]

Galileo?

[adrianandkate]

Leonardo da Vinci?

[adrianandkate]

Sh*t. Forget the question mark. :D

[adrianandkate]

My go I think.

Clues if required.

[adrianandkate]

Quick clue (nice quizmistress Kate :)) before I go to bed.

Born a Kiwi but that wasn't where he gained his fame (or whatever you want to call it :rolleyes:)

Kate

[ROB 110 HICAP]

Leonardo da Vinci?
Spot on, he was a proper artist, inventor, scientist and 500 years before his time.

[adrianandkate]

Cheers Rob. One of his self-portraits.

Anyway, back to my Kiwi-born politician.

Long-serving, tried for corruption, and given a state funeral.

Oh, and his parents were immigrants to New Zealand from a Northern European country so he has an interesting sounding name.


Kate

[tycroes48]

Johannes Bjelke-Petersen ?

[adrianandkate]

Johannes Bjelke-Petersen ?


Absolutely. Joh Bjelke.

Longest serving and longest lived premier of Queensland. Somewhat controversial.

Did I give too many clues?:D

Suddenly realised if you didn't follow Aus politics in late 60s/70s/80s might have been a bit difficult. :o Hasty addition - I only heard of him the 80s of course. :rolleyes:

Kate

[tycroes48]

Try this one.

Anyone know this lady

[adrianandkate]

A clue would be good.
Hey I gave loads for joh bjelke. :)

Kate

[tycroes48]

She was a Secretary!!!

[tycroes48]

She was always sucking up to her millionaire client ???

[JimAttrill]

Could be a bloke ...

[tycroes48]

Could be a bloke ...

If it`s any help, she was bisexual!

[JimAttrill]

Was? So either she has kicked the bucket or decided which team she plays for....

[tycroes48]

Was? So either she has kicked the bucket or decided which team she plays for....

She died, aged 70 in 1991. She was divorced and came out of the cupboard, aged 67 and admitted that she was a lesbian.

Good Clue. The serial that she was in, ran from 1962 -1971

[jepaton]

Thanks for the clue... its Nancy Kulp. So it's my turn again.

The person I've chosen has recently divorced. He and his ex-wife are
very successful players in same industry. Many people will have heard
of his wife but who is he?

Jonathan Paton

[jepaton]

Need another clue? Perhaps a picture? :o

[Cannonball Bob]

Thanks for the clue... its Nancy Kulp.

The person I've chosen has recently divorced. He and his ex-wife are
very successful players in same industry. Many people will have heard
of his wife but who is he?


Never mind who's he.....who the bloody hell is Nancy Kulp? :confused:

[Cannonball Bob]

Need another clue? Perhaps a picture? :o
...or a name. :confused:

[tycroes48]

Never mind who's he.....who the bloody hell is Nancy Kulp? :confused:

Nancy Kulp played the part of Miss Jane Hathaway in The Beverley Hillbillys.

[Cannonball Bob]

Thought the idea was to choose someone well known?

[jepaton]

Thought the idea was to choose someone well known?
Work out what he does first.

Jonathan Paton

[Cannonball Bob]

I was referring to the Nancy woman. :rolleyes:
Matey boy in the next photo is no less unrecognisable though.
How does guessing what he "does" give any clue to his name? Surely that's not a "Who am I?" quiz but a "What do I do?" quiz?
If a supporting cast member from a Saturday morning TV series which ended in 1971 is deemed well-known I just can't wait to find out who this bloke is.

[Cannonball Bob]

I know......
He played "3rd crew member" in one episode of Star Trek in 1964?

[jepaton]

Lets make it a whole lot easier. Another photograph which also includes
his ex-wife.

Jonathan Paton

[Cannonball Bob]

Are they as well known as Nancy? :rolleyes:

"4th crew member and wife" from a 1964 episode of Star Trek?

[red]

next clue ?

[jepaton]

Here are lots of clues:

Both of them have been making music since the late 1970's.

The male's most successful album reached number one in over forty
countries. The name of this album is the same as the year it was released.
If he had used his name to release the album he would be as well known
as Mike Oldfield and Vangelis.

The female is a singer who has released a dozen albums using her first
name. As more people are likely to know her name I've included two
additional photographs of her.

Both have worked on each other's music.

Jonathan Paton

[I guess I just made it too hard. Maybe we should concentrate on British
TV, pop stars or another subset of the famous].

[Cannonball Bob]

:confused: Still absolutely bloody clueless.:confused:

[jepaton]

:confused: Still absolutely bloody clueless.:confused:
Lets call it your turn. It would be best to continue in a new thread so
that "the who's turn is it?" issue doesn't get too confusing.

I think I've given enough clues - if you don't get it now you may not know
either of them. But I'm sure someone on the forum will so I don't want to
spoil my turn.

Jonathan Paton

[TEMPL4R]

Anthony Phillips


Chris

[jepaton]

Nope, sorry.

Jonathan Paton

[TEMPL4R]

Was he in Van Halen?

Chris

[jepaton]

No, sorry again. The guy is obviously too obscure for you lot. The female
is German to add to the pile of clues.

Jonathan Paton

[jepaton]

Yet another clue for the female: "Nobody knows who I am". Although I'm
really hoping that somebody does.

Jonathan Paton

[Psycho Sarah]

looks like sarah brightman.
if so, her ex husband must be frank peterson of enigma.
enigma's album mcmxc was released in 1990.
i can't work out one clue. why is the female german as sarah was born in britain? frank peterson is german born though.

[jepaton]

You are very very close to having both names. But you've told me neither
of their names correctly.

Jonathan Paton

[TEMPL4R]

It's not Sarah Brightman, I thought it more like Paula Abdul or Latoyah Jackson.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_Cretu

http://www.michaelcretu.com/sandra

Sarah has it really.

Chris

[jepaton]

Then we are both in agreement that Sarah deserves this one.

The clue "Nobody knows who I am" is a line from Sandra's "Secret Land".
Other singles include "Maria Magdalena" (1985), "In the heat of the night",
(1985), "Heaven can wait" (1988) and "Around my heart" (2007).

Michael Cretu produced three albums under his own name before Enigma.
But it was MCMXC a.D. (1990) that reached number one in 41 countries,
stayed in the UK charts (top 75) for over three years and gave him plenty
of platinum awards to hang on the wall.

Jonathan Paton

[TEMPL4R]

Yes, she got the Enigma bit.

chris

[Psycho Sarah]

i'm not going to be online much for the next couple of weeks so i'm passing up my turn. fight amongst yourselves for the next turn.

[Psycho Sarah]

back for a few days, and i see you've not decided who's going to take my turn.
so, who is this old man?

[Psycho Sarah]

here's a photo of the same old guy with some of his friends.

[Psycho Sarah]

10 views and no one's ventured a guess.

here's a photo of him taken over 20 years ago.

[tycroes48]

Jarvis Cocker ?

[Roger Whittle]

Peter Sarstead (sp?)

Roger.

[Psycho Sarah]

not jarvis cocker
not peter sarstead ( sarstedt:))

[Cannonball Bob]

The third one, from twenty years ago, is a young Richard Madeley.

[bulkhead ali]

It's the bloke from " The Fall" but off the top of my head I can't remember his name:eek: somebody with more brians can google him!

cheers, Ali;)

[TEMPL4R]

Ali gets it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_E._Smith

Chris

[Psycho Sarah]

yes.
mark e smith of the fall

[JimAttrill]

Not my turn, but I'll post a question anyway... Who is the hatless guy in the greatcoat?
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/JimAttrill/02.jpg

[TEMPL4R]

Insignia are Luftwaffe, he's a prisoner, is he French or Belgian? Fort Eban Emael?


Chris

[JimAttrill]

A prisoner of war, yes. Not French or Belgian. His father was (and still is) famous. Or rather infamous

[JimAttrill]

This is an easy one. The clue gives it away.

[TEMPL4R]

Jakov Djugashvili Stalin

Chris

[JimAttrill]

Yes. Proof of how much of a loving father Stalin was. (And husband - didn't his wife commit suicide?)

[TEMPL4R]

Can't think of a good one, anyone else?

Chris

[red]

ok heres one

[Roger Whittle]

Feinman the Physicist? Gerald Feinman was it?

Roger.

[PinkSeriesIII]

cancer-man from the x-files? no ?

[red]

nope and nope

[red]

i doubt there is anyone here who hasn't seen him on the box tho you may not recognize him out of his costume :p:

some one else later went on to play his part

[SCUSY]

Is it the Green Cross Code Man? (Showing my age now!!)

I think he went onto play a part in Star Wars...Darth Vader????

If it is then I think his name is David Prowse.

[Dave_243]

If it is then I think his name is David Prowse.

Damn! The first face I actually recognised and you beat me to it! :rolleyes:

[red]

Is it the Green Cross Code Man? (Showing my age now!!)

I think he went onto play a part in Star Wars...Darth Vader????

If it is then I think his name is David Prowse.

spot on your turn :)

[Redline_Special]

Looks like the Malboro Man's grandpappy...:D

[Snagger]

Is it the Green Cross Code Man? (Showing my age now!!)

I think he went onto play a part in Star Wars...Darth Vader????

Other way round - Vader first, then the Green Cross Code Man. The ad makers wanted Vader's kiddie-cred to make the message "cool" enough to be taken seriously.

Star Wars killed a fair few actors' film careers, with only Ford doing really well afterwards (ironic, considering how he was one of the weakest and laziest actors in the films:rolleyes:). Prowse was also very upset about being dubbed, but can anyone really imagine Vader having a west-country accent instead of James Earl Jones' deep tone?:eek::D

[JimAttrill]

So who was this - an inventor of a technology used by all manufacturers nowadays


http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/JimAttrill/guessswho.jpg?t=1227356174

[tycroes48]

Charles Babbage ???

[JimAttrill]

I see you are reacting to the clue. No it is not Charles Babbage, though of the same era.

I believe he was the person that 'invented' the idea of having parts made to a standard spec rather than the previous way when all parts were 'made to measure'. So his idea allowed the technique of mass production, first practiced by Henry Ford.

He was an American. With a hat like that, I guess he has to be :D

Another clue - the company he started still bears his name.

[Snagger]

Henry Ford (mass production techniques)?

[saltireblue]

Henry Ford (mass production techniques)?


So his idea allowed the technique of mass production, first practiced by Henry Ford.




think not, Snagger:):)

[saltireblue]

Joseph Lucas?

[JimAttrill]

Joseph Lucas is American?

[saltireblue]

Joseph Lucas is American?

Oops, missed that comment:confused:

What about George Westinghouse?

[JimAttrill]

Sorry, I am wrong about the guy in the picture being the originator of 'interchangeable parts'. The American most famous for that is Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin (whatever that is). Though there is a connection between the two men. Here is Eli:
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/JimAttrill/200px-Whitney-Eli-LOC.jpg

[JimAttrill]

Not George Westinghouse.

Another clue - think of cathedrals :)

[TEMPL4R]

Winchester, I did think Samuel Colt at first, but went down the line of gunsmiths, Browning, Colt, Winchester...

[JimAttrill]

You win! Eli Whitney's grandson sold what was to become the Winchester company from Smith & Wesson to Winchester, who made a success of it. All these gunsmiths seem to have come from the same town.

So your go, sir :)
