So!
Which "famous" person did I see in Tesco yesterday, and rudely strike up conversation with while they were trying to shop?

Clue: It's not Dimrill (or any Beexer).
Clue: The person has success in their field on both sides of the Atlantic, so I think it's fair to call them famous.

If so wouldnt her Wikipedia page list her as such rather than a TV Personality ?

Not necessarily, if Wikipedia lists her as a "chef and television personality" and Grim... is selective quoting.

Author:  Grim... [ Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:14 ]
Post subject:  Re: Twenty Questions!

She is over 35, she is not a reporter, and she is not a chef.

Whats she famous for in America , and Wikipedia lists her as :

Quote:
Dani Behr (born 9 July 1970) is an English singer, actress and television presenter.


Whereas Grim... specifically said she was not a singer.

I was just guessing Zapod, it's only a game :p

Author:  kalmar [ Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:24 ]
Post subject:  Re: Twenty Questions!

Anne Robinson would qualify! (though I assume you wouldn't stop her to chat..)

Author:  Grim... [ Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:26 ]
Post subject:  Re: Twenty Questions!

Not Cat Deeley. I'm not sure if you were asking about Anne Robinson, so I'll let that one slide, especially as I don't think she's famous in the US.

does she present a factual tv show, eg, like gmtv/x factor?

Is it Victoria Coren?

Author:  Grim... [ Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:55 ]
Post subject:  Re: Twenty Questions!

Yes she presents a factual TV show, although neither of them. They're factual?

It's not Victoria Coren.

Post subject:  Re: Twenty Questions!

If it was Cat Deeley, Victoria Cohen, or Dani Behr, we wouldn't be playing 20 questions, Grim... would be shouting "I fucking saw Dani Behr last night!". Pick someone less fit.

Post subject:  Re: Twenty Questions!

Was she famous for something else before becoming a TV personality?

Author:  Grim... [ Tue Jun 01, 2010 11:42 ]
Post subject:  Re: Twenty Questions!

Er, no. She does the job she always did, but on TV.

Does this person do a job involving a home or garden?

Author:  Grim... [ Tue Jun 01, 2010 11:51 ]
Post subject:  Re: Twenty Questions!

Nope and nope (well, it involves homes and gardens, but only because they are there).

Top job, sir.

Yes indeed. I asked her if she could make the Grimlet sleep and she said "no-one can make children sleep". Then she said hello to him (calling herself 'Jojo'), and carried on with her shopping.

She's a big girl in real life.

I should probably have kept quiet after the "Television Personality" clue, given that I don't watch TV.

Who, as in "I've never heard of her" not as in "I would like to know who this person is"

"Is it Dimrill" as in "he already said it wasn't Dimrill".

Dimrill.

I'll see your Jo frost, and raise you one of the Dorothy contestants who got kicked off in the early rounds, standing outside a pub on Tuesday afternoon, in London.
