Picky Wrongstopping
Forgive the somewhat bland, picture-free blog. It seems that the doohickey which hoicks the pics of famous people from my PC and biffs them onto the interweb is on the fritz. I'm told this will be a temporary situation, but in the meantime, would anybody like to play a game?
You're familiar with the game where someone has to think of someone famous, and it's everyone else's job to try and guess who from the clues they are given (obviously they're not allowed to say who it is), right? Ironically, it doesn't seem to have a name itself, the best I've come up with is 'The Name Game', which is pretty vague.
Well, in the absence of actual pictures of musical people going about their daily lives, see if you can guess who I'm thinking of, from this description of what they look like...
PERSON 1:
Clue 1: He's got a little gnomy sort of a face and big black-framed glasses.
Clue 2: He is a man.
Clue 3: On his arms, he has tattoos like his wrist is on fire.
Clue 4: He is quite skinny, and likes to wear a vest.
Got it? OK, keep it to yourself for now, see if you can get any of the others and whack them all in the comments box below.

====================================

Clue 2: He is a man.
Clue 3: It's probably quite draughty inside his mouth.

====================================
PERSON 4:
Clue 1: She has got freckles and awfully white skin.
Clue 2: She is a woman.

Clue 2: He is a man.

====================================
PERSON 8:
Clue 1: She has got a liony mane of hair and a toothy smile.
Clue 2: She is a woman.
Clue 3: Sometimes her eyes look like they could shoot out laser beams.
Clue 4: Don't go near her with scissors or any form of sharp blade, it could get REALLY messy in an accident situation.

[I can tell you you have got 8 out of 10. But I'm not saying which ones are right! - Fraser]
Aha! I have just realised that 8 is Leona Lewis! If I get the last one right do I get something for it, or just the right to feel a bit smug for a while? ;)
