Erm, actually he has acted in TV, stage and film (wikipedia-ed it to check), but that's not what I know him from!

To Adam's - Alexander Armstrong.

But for myself, finally I have somewhere to put this - Who did I see in London recently? He was carrying a musical instrument box.

I got a bit impatient with this and we had a quickfire Q&A in aptochat to find out the answer - Les Dennis!

Someone should set up a game of Guess Who (the board game) with apterous users' / forum regulars' faces. And bring it to Huddersfield.

In fact, I am fairly willing to do this.

Guess who offered me a lift when they drove past me on the way to synagogue tonight (I declined because it was the Sabbath). Zarte will probably get it straight away, but it would be tough to get from blind guessing (yes, it is a famous person).

Are they male? I'm guessing Jewish?

Was it Lord Sugar?

Yes, male. Yes, Jewish.

No, not Lord Sugar.

Just to clarify, he didn't know I was on my way to synagogue until I told him when I declined the lift. He was just offering a lift generally.
