Pothunter the Snowman Dec 2023 8:59am, 11 Dec 2023 8,498 posts	0 Pothunter the Snowman Morning Also struggling with my “who am I” at the moment, but I see ITG managed a successful ID
Sombrero-ho-ho-ho Dec 2023 7:47pm, 11 Dec 2023 13,725 posts	0 Sombrero-ho-ho-ho Evening gonks. Very quiet on here today! I had a horrible drive back from Bradford. Sal has made a lovely tea though and I'm off to the pub to watch Pompey v Bolton. I really struggled with the who am I but got there in the end...
Ding Dong Daisy Dec 2023 7:55pm, 11 Dec 2023 39,321 posts	0 Ding Dong Daisy I was lucky. Top tip if we ever play this game again - don't start with the male/female type questions but the 'what do/did they do?' ones. It seemed to work for me anyway. I've been for a swim. What I don't understand about swimming is, I feel my technique is better, my stroke is stronger, but I'm no faster Do I have an invisible lead weight attached to me? (I'd have thought all the blubber round my middle would have helped my buoyancy!)
CK2 Dec 2023 8:23pm, 11 Dec 2023 2,452 posts	0 CK2 I lucked out on the game as I guessed someone referred to in a book I’m reading and was right. A run/walk today taking it gently with friends which suited me as I’m knackered.
Cheeky’s Father Christmas Dec 2023 6:35am, 12 Dec 2023 4,368 posts	0 Cheeky’s Father Christmas I couldn’t guess my who am I at all. It wasn’t the best day for it as I was frantically busy but I have a feeling I was being very stupid.
Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Dec 2023 6:50am, 12 Dec 2023 40,013 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) I was defeated, had to ask Jigs to put me out of my misery so I could sleep, immediately forgot the name 😂
TeeBee Dec 2023 7:36am, 12 Dec 2023 10,116 posts	0 TeeBee Morning. I didn't try to guess who I was yesterday - I only got to the competition at 8pm and I my knowledge of 'famous' people is so poor I felt the chances of getting an answer in the time available to engage was far too slim. Well done to everyone who succeeded :--)
