  • Heavens to Murgatroyd!
What a Rogues Gallery! er, :roll: I mean what an array of young hopefuls....I'll post my guesses after I've recovered from the shock. *And sipped a glass or three of medicinal Madeira*

Meanwhile, my first thoughts - chaotic as usual - are:
  • Cute cuddly stuffed monkey;
    Yes, our Moonraker likely has managed to talk Anita into posting two of his photos;
    One portrait sort of reminds me of the late Michelle Gallagher, (only younger than in the FF TV series), but surely that can't be!
You've managed to size the photos very nicely for clarity, Anita...jolly well done.*Applause*

It's fun reading people's responses. :D Some good guesses so far - and some amusing ones! :lol:

Yikes, this is proving a lot harder that I'd hoped it would be! So far I'm only sure of having successfully identified one forumite.

Stirring thought for the day:
One wonders if Anita should privately ask each male forumite in the gallery to certify that they haven't had cosmetic surgery to adjust how far their ears stick out since their photo on this thread was snapped?

Hint, hint - my eyes are almost black in colour. :lol:

I'm wondering when we will get to know the correct results?

Change of guesses - 10 is probably Tony, 4 probably Fiona. (Don't ask me who 7 is, because I don't know!)

I still stand by 1 and 5 though. :wink:

Ooh, which one?! :wink:

12 might be Pippa-Stef, but I'm completely out of league for the others!

It is great to be able to have a go at something that I have had nothing at all to do with! Anita (who has just officially become our Forum Administrator as Matt Roberts felt it was time for him to step down) has been the soul of discretion and hasn't even given me any clues. Like others, I don't think I will be much good at this, but for what it is worth these are the guesses of the Salisbury jury! :lol:

1. Nigel
2. Muminah
3. Aurelien
4. Fiona
5. Anita (I am sure I have got one right!)
6. Eddie
7. Laura
8. Shadow
9. Ming
10. ? (stumped on this one!)
11. Julie
12. Kate Mary
13. Robert Houghton

I don't know if any of these sent photos, I have just been influenced by those who have taken an interest in this thread.

I won't give the results today, as some people who want to guess might not yet have had the chance to look at the photos. Let's see how things go over the next couple of days.

Old Aurélien seems to be in a state of utter confusion - and the game was his idea! :lol: Have to say it was a brilliant idea, though! :D

Alright, some of these are (very) wild guesses, but here we go:

1: Nigel
2: Muminah
3: Eddie
4: Fiona
5: Anita....unless :) she really does have a twin sister!
6: Tony
7: Laura?
8: Michelle Gallagher - I don't know if the late MG was ever technically a forumite
9: Ming
10: Nigel (again)
11: Julie
12: Pippa-Stef
13: Petermax or Lucky Star
