Title: Who am I?
Post by: TightEnd on December 19, 2007, 05:14:24 PM
I give three clues

first person to guess correctly gets the next go

Anyone who picks a name as a question that isn't guessed for 10 incorrect answers wins a special Tighty Star.


1. I was once referred to as "Not a man given to considered opinion", by the BBC

2. His first job was " as a travelling salesman for his parents' business selling Paddington Bear toys"

3. On a TV programme he offended the Welsh by placing a 3D plastic map of Wales into a microwave oven and switching it on. He later defended this by saying "I put Wales in there because Scotland wouldn't fit"


Who is he?

Marilyn Monroe?

I'm sure I've seen a photo of her taken before her career kicked off in which the extra toe was clearly visible. She had surgery to remove it.

Anyway - MKKfish's go.

EDIT: Turns out Jane's right - the photo was doctored.

Maybe it should be her go now?

Maybe I should stick the the band photos thread.
