DM? A good call but he's not really 'world famous' is he. It has got to be someone mega.

JI? Ugh the thought of it.

Also just thinking if a shop assistant was saying 'they sooooooo would' about my DH I would probably just laugh out loud and say 'help yourself love'!

I can't believe I have logged onto this again. I love a mystery though. Off to work now though. I hope it gets solved before I'm back!

fifi twas the customer not the assistant who blurted it out - problem was it happened just after mr n had been revealed to have been a naughty boy so his missus was probably feeling a bit sensitive about the whole thing.

JN's wife must be a bit of a martyr. She's already forgiven him for a serious affair with the brown hair & eyes australian actress who was on freezing toes, and she went on to get a part as an air steward on Lost too. apparently jn's wife only just forgave him for that one. so, if he's been at it again with a prossie, surely she'd have to dump him.

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 11:34

who is DM though. A writer who's been in lots of things. so a writer and an actor Confused

BringBackGoingForGold · 15/04/2011 11:37

Valium, I think we speak of Rabid Lorry-see (sorry, I know that's a stretch, but you try thinking of something to rhyme with his first name). Married to Nesta Droid.

I don't know who JI is though. Or JS. Or Ben Hot

teej · 15/04/2011 11:37

valium nah this current story can't be pinned on him, probably to his wife's relief! it sounds like someone much more sexually awkward iykwim...

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 11:40

the cogs in my brain are still clunking Confused this is torture!

teej · 15/04/2011 11:42

bringback finding out who JI is could be something of a mission on imdb, and as for JS it's so much easier to decide whether there is life on mars

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 11:43

riiiight. i got it. thanks!

so is he a real contender then? i wouldn't have thought world famous either. been in this and that. familiar face sort of level of fame.

teej · 15/04/2011 11:44

valium do you have sons? if so they might have watched DM be a doctor who wasn't the doctor christmas before last....

HazeltheMcWitch · 15/04/2011 11:45

bringback Amazed you can't get who JS is. It is SIMMPLE !
(it's not him, however!!)

Still stuck on JS however...

HazeltheMcWitch · 15/04/2011 11:45

Oops, I mean JI.

BringBackGoingForGold · 15/04/2011 11:46

Oooooh, got JS now . Nah, don't think it's him.

Still don't know JI or Ben Hot ...

teej · 15/04/2011 11:48

have no clue who ben hot is though Confused
actually don't think it's any those mentioned in the previous few posts - the consensus of opinion on t'interweb still seems to be HB.

thumbwitch · 15/04/2011 11:49

JI is easy, isn't it? His surname flattens clothes...

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 11:50

who is HB?! who is JS? Who is JI?! please send me a message?

I'm proud of myself for figuring out DM!. thanks for those clues.

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 11:51

oh JI, yes!! hmm, does he tweet at his advanced age?!

HazeltheMcWitch · 15/04/2011 11:52

Gotcha, thanks!

AM still with Teej however. It is HB. But I like these guessing games!
The Daily Fail have done their thing of 'featuring the subject of the injunction in the paper for no good reason, on he same day as they run another news story about the injunction itself'. It is him, people!

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 11:53

ah yeah, JS, got that too. Used to see him wandering around muswell hill. always on his own he was. glad it's not him.

so just need to figure out HB now.

HazeltheMcWitch · 15/04/2011 11:54

Have PM-ed you, Valium.

But for clarity for all, I would love a HUGE bar of chocolate; BOURNEVILLE is my favourite.

Thingumy · 15/04/2011 11:56

hmm

Is ben hot a Scottish actor?

teej · 15/04/2011 11:56

VB
JS is a friend of the gene genie who lives on mars and also has a track record of being somewhat masterful when rockin the tardis
JI shot to fame several decades ago when he revisited a grand house called Brideshead and he is wedded to an anglo/irish/american acting dynasty
HB also has a penchant for period dramas set in big houses that are very successful and have been recommissioned for a second series - having a respected dame in the cast must help, too...
imdb/google is your friend

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 11:57

ah yes! thank you very much for that!

oh dear. I liked him in the film of the blue flower. men they're all de fukkin' sayum. Grin

teej · 15/04/2011 11:57

i spent so long tapping out smartarse clues VB's got there already Grin
