Radiohead

Alan Johnson and Eric Clapton

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:00 Mon 02 Jun 2014

Not Alan Johnson. Good guess though; in the sense that you have thought about who has been publishing memoirs lately, unlike most other guessers!

Post by **flash_uk** » 21:03 Mon 02 Jun 2014

Not my guess now, but I have an inkling....

I did my research for your question, not for the Wisemans question though, still reeling from the Katy Perry question TBH.

Forgot to guess; Guy Martin and Barbara Striesand.

Justin Timberlake and Sir Alex Ferguson?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:18 Mon 02 Jun 2014

I am not totally obsessed with Alex Ferguson. In fact I am not at all obsessed with him. No.

Post by **flash_uk** » 21:19 Mon 02 Jun 2014

Guy Martin

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:22 Mon 02 Jun 2014

No! Who is he?

A motorcycle racer. I thought the NI fascination with motorbikes might have piqued your interest, especially as the Northwest recently took place.

Ah. I should have known that. My friend has been receiving quite deranged death threats, hate tweets and so on for writing an article in the Belfast Telegraph saying that the North West 200 (which runs right past my university) is dangerous.

Good man. Full review please!

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 23:25 Mon 02 Jun 2014

Can we recap. Are we still searching for Daniel's autobiography and the Madison square gardens thing which Julian was forced into at gunpoint. Because if so I should suggest that, like Leone when he introduced the third dimension into the gunfight, there is another question. Such as which gin and which tonic.

So my answer is, One direction, Chris Froome's the climb, and fever tree and tanqueray.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:26 Mon 02 Jun 2014

No; not Froome.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 23:27 Mon 02 Jun 2014

The author is an Englishman.

CaliforniaBrad · Post by **CaliforniaBrad** » 05:01 Tue 03 Jun 2014

I'm confused with the whirlwind of questions, so I'll make one guess that will hopefully cover all questions: Gordon('s) Sumner, a British gentleman with a biography out.

Nicely done Brad, not Gordon 'Sting' Sumner.

No to all concert guesses so far. Clue: One of her biggest hits was for a movie.

Autobiography: Alexander McQueen?

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 10:38 Tue 03 Jun 2014

Morrissey (the book), Whitney (the gig).

Not Morrissey. I determined not to read this despite having once pledged my life to the man.

idj123 wrote:Bet Middler (concert) and am just popping out to WH Smith for biography research

Good man. I should point out that I didn't have to go looking for this. It was sitting in the staff recommendations section in the new books bit in Waterstone's. I heard the author the other day on the radio (Start the Week last week or the week before I think) and I read a good review of it somewhere, the Guardian Review quite possibly.

SCP-DFF wrote:Autobiography: Alexander McQueen?

Not Alexander McQueen. Isn't he dead? A new autobiography would be quite an effort.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 12:31 Tue 03 Jun 2014

Liza Minelli (with a zee)?

Post by **flash_uk** » 12:42 Tue 03 Jun 2014

Bon Jovi Celine Dion and David Mitchell

flash_uk wrote:Bon Jovi and David Mitchell

Ah. Just saw the clue above about "one of her biggest hits". So not Bon Jovi then. Can I change my guess to Celine Dion. If this is correct, you have my deepest sympathies Julian.

Not Jarn Barn Jovi (sorry, being facetious)
and not David Mitchell,
nor even David Mitchell.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 14:57 Tue 03 Jun 2014

Brian Sewell and the Foo.

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 16:06 Tue 03 Jun 2014

Julian had a great time at the Celine Dion concert! He said he loved watching me sing her songs!

Well done.

So “One quiz at a time” has had two quizzes at a time. Now what?

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 17:06 Tue 03 Jun 2014

Has someone guessed Alan Johnson yet?

I will have to try and win the biography question and thereby "unite the belts".

Yes. No.

flash_uk wrote:Viv Albertine

No. Interesting guess though.
If Flash doesn't set his question someone else should take it off him.
Just checked. This book seems to have been published, or at least mainly reviewed, in May. The Telegraph called it 'dazzling'.

Beyonce (gig); Nick Clegg (My Life in Government); Not allowed to guess (London Borough)

This is anarchy, I think we need to go back to only one person holding the talking stick at a time.

Tring and Damien McBride.

Not Damien the Devil. Didn't know he had a book. Must check it out.

Exactly Glenn. Who knows what the answer means or what the question is? (Rhetorical), I bet it turns out to be Brian Sewell after all.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:08 Tue 03 Jun 2014

It isn't Brian Sewell. But it is somebody who is both his polar opposite, and rather like him
