h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Tony Yellow by Roger Worship? Doubt I've quite got to grips with this game yet... Just seemed like to interesting an idea to leave sitting in an 'old' thread.

Anybody have ANY idea what this was after all this time?

Hee Hee.. Thread reviver at work...

OK:

A book (which I am currently reading)...

Marilyn Monroe was one. As were Jean Harlow and Diana Dors.

By

1st name - he stuck in his thumb
2nd name - sounds similar to another word for Stop.

Blonde Bombshell by Tom Holt.

A book:

One word, two syllables.

1st syllable: second person

2nd syllable: rhymes with girlish boys.

By (first name) the bible king,
(second name) girl's name rhyming with selection

U or you or even Eu


Aha!!!

Ulysses - James Joyce

A band:

2 words,

1st word hyphenated

A number
more than a score, just...

2nd word
Aeroplane driver




----Drive by Thread revivication (TM) by Argon0---

Twenty-one Pilots

I confess I had to google that, but only after correctly guessing it. (No, never heard of them.)

Apologies for my misleading clue four years ago How could I think that "sissies" had one syllable? Must have been very very drunk at the time.

So...

Book (originally in French); three words, one of them being exactly that; last word three syllables, which (in English) sounds like the need to acquire hearing devices.

Author sounds like egging on mother.

The Three Musketeers - Alexandre Dumas


Book - 2 words, also originally in French - Sad Dennis's
Author - sounds like they may have won top SF writer's award.

Hardly Bonjour Tristesse (Françoise Sagan). Hmmm.

Author - Someone who wins would be called a ....
And the top prize in Science Fiction would be a .... award winner...

Looks like Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

Not getting the Dennis's unless there is a famous Les Dennis... ah, thank you google, there is. And yes, there is a Hugo SF award. Whisked straight over my head. Phew.

OK, an opera. Anagram, three words, light face mute. Put heat in the composer's initials for last Christmas.

light face mute=
the magic flute

by WAM

OK, another opera...

two words.


Our PM, wouldn't quite have been this if Jeremy had got in.
BY..

Someone who doesn't blow their own trumpet, has hair that has been disarrayed by a helicopter, maybe?

Boris Godunov by Modest Mussorgsky!

The Mozart initials become WhAM when you add heat...

A book (two words):

Ladies of the German supermarket

By

Sewer-unblocker might all bed down.

(Approximately. Slur your pronunciation somewhat.)

(It's also a film)

Lidl Women?

That's the one! Now you set one!

OK - will give it a go A musical prelude, four words:

A séquito of Conservative whiffs, proceeding at a measured pace to the beat of a military drum. From Clarkson, May and Hammond (one word)

(might be worth clarifying that the prelude itself has a name, which is four words, and what it's a prelude to has one)

Hmm... Retinue Tory Smells March, from the old Topgear? Getting warm?

Definitely warm. Try a different word for smells.
