Even if the answer to the first question is no, Lenny Henry could still be the right answer.

That's actually funnier than anything Lenny Henry has ever come out with

I thought "Everything's Premier but the price" was quite funny actually.

Yes.

(Or oui, If I may slip into French as Lenny himself once did.)

OK no need to get racist.

Was it Charlie Brooker?

I was about to retardedly reply with "wtf?" but then I Googled Janine Butcher and I geddit now. Glad I saved myself from looking stupid.

I would have liked to hold off replying and see how long these comedian guesses went on for but I don't want to waste anyone's time (since we're wasting enough playing guessing games on a Countdown forum).

Guess who sat at the next table as I was having a coffee today? Usual rules, yes/no answers only.

Posted: **Wed Jun 01, 2011 3:12 pm**

Was it The Right Honourable Baroness Thatcher?

Posted: **Wed Jun 01, 2011 3:21 pm**

Is he/she Irish?

If so, is it Graham Norton?

Posted: **Wed Jun 01, 2011 3:27 pm**

Liam: Are they under 30?

I have one too if I may be so bold: Guess whose hair my Mum cut yesterday (yes it's a famous person). One other person on this forum knows the answer; I request that they allow the others to guess without spoiling it.

Wrong. Note that I didn't ask who cut my Mum's hair; I asked whose hair my Mum cut.

No. At least not that I know of; I don't know who she (Katie) is.

No.

Andrea Corr (to Liam's not Adam's - I think two at once may get confusing)

If not, is she a singer?

Is she an actress?

Andrea Corr - No

Yes, I was unsure whether I could be so bold. Don't mind leaving mine until Liam's is revealed.

Posted: **Wed Jun 01, 2011 4:08 pm**

Sinead O'Connor for both.

No.
And I think people should re-read my replies.

@Karen: Why are you assuming Liam's is female?

@Liam: Was it Kevin Hough?

You're replies so far have been:

Thatcher? No
Irish? Yes
Graham Norton? No
Under 30? No
Andrea Corr? No
Singer? Yes
Actress? No
Kevin Hough? No

Ok Sinead O'Connor was in the Butcher Boy but I'd hardly count her as an actress.

Are they male?

Posted: **Wed Jun 01, 2011 5:05 pm**

See, my tired old brain did get confused!! Liam's questioning of Adam as it whether his person was female somehow lodged in my brain as Liam saying that his was female. Which is really stupid because he's only supposed to be answering yes or no.

Sorry for misleading folks.

So, is it male?

If so, is it just one person?

Posted: **Wed Jun 01, 2011 5:25 pm**

Was it Jedward?

Is it Shane McGowan?

Or Ronan Keating?

If not, does he sing alone rather than as part of a group?

Posted: **Thu Jun 02, 2011 10:58 am**

Is he over 50?

Shot in the dark: Val Doonican

Posted: **Thu Jun 02, 2011 12:07 pm**

Gay Byrne.

Oh dear God! It's not Daniel O'Donnell, is it?

I think we may now have plumbed the depths of my knowledge of male Irish singers (who aren't members of boy bands)!

Posted: **Thu Jun 02, 2011 12:48 pm**

What about Des O'Connor?

You might know this name from your Pointless research.

Posted: **Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:30 pm**

Paul Casey?
Mundy?
Jinx Lennon?
Christy Moore?

Jinx Lennon is a singer from Dundalk. I personally don't rate him. His girlfriend is Paula Flynn who did the cover version of David Bowie's Let's Dance which featured in a Ballygowan ad.

Posted: **Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:54 pm**

Van Morrison?

No idea about the Pointless link though.
