@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Boris?
Rude.

I've already given the only clue you are getting.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/12/2020 19:15

Tv chef then. Jamie Oliver?

What clue?? I hope they begin with P at the very least!

Hi Willow. You’ve landed at a moment of class, as you can tell. Or did you come up the ladder?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/12/2020 19:26

@Honeyroar I took the clue as fry pan into the fire. I may be wrong?

NeedToKnow101 · 27/12/2020 19:32

@perditasugarplum said,' I'd be out of the fry pan and into the fire if I do much as gave the teeniest of clues '

Maybe a very small TV chef? (Not that Ainsley is small)

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 19:34

Bear grylls?

Nigella?

Delia?

Gordon?

John and Greg? (naughty threesome)

Monica and Marcus? (even naughtier)

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 19:36

Maybe fire is the clue. Perditions hasn’t specified their age.

Was it guy fawkes?

FlouncingBabooshka · 27/12/2020 19:39

I’m guessing either Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall or Nigella.

Damn, you're good. Rumbled already.

Fire.

Could be a cast member of London’s Burning.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 19:57

🤣🤣🤣 I like you perditions.
Pray pause, play, parry, party.

With all this build up, it's bound to end up a damp squib!

Potentially, in an erstwhile kind of way.

Doesn’t look like anyone knows this. It’s Must Be Santa by Bob Dylan

Here’s the video. Worth watching, not only for the somewhat unlikely pairing of singer and song, but also for the total and ever increasing mayhem of the Christmas party.

Reminds me of our awards night...

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 20:23

Some song inspired suggestions:

Ma Baker
(Ra ra) rasputin
Robert De Niro ('s waiting)
Ken (one for FlouncingB there)
Bette Davis (eyes)
Houdini (another one for FlouncingB)
(D'ye ken) John peel
Einstein (a go-go)
Andy wahol
(Moves like) jagger

This is also a hint that we need more lyrics!

FlouncingBabooshka · 27/12/2020 20:24

Keith Floyd.

NeedToKnow101 · 27/12/2020 20:26

Also we need more pet pics. I don't have a pet, but this is my friend's dog, Dave. Bumped into him today. He's a Schnauzer whose ears didn't fold over 😍

Keith Floyd.
Ner, he'd have got our perita so pished, they'd NEVER remember to be able to tell the tale!

Cute, needtoknow. That looks like a dog who has had a recent haircut!
