When I get a bloody minute, yes (monetary offer not really necessary though more than welcome). Don't think it's the solution to this particular poser, but possibly a 15-1 Mystery #2. You never know though.Nixxy wrote:I'm getting nowhere with my attempts to try and locate the answer to the original question - are you going to enlighten us anytime soon, K_Oranj?K_Oranj wrote: Totally irrelevant to the mystery in hand (though I may have some info on that if the price is right)
15-1 what happened?
Finally, as per-omissed.
As I said, probably a different mystery this.
A few months back a friend of mine was quiz dabbling when a cocksure pulled up next to him and acted all helpful by answering stuff my comrade didn't not already know.
The guy told my mate that he'd been a winner on 15-1 years ago. So he asked him when he'd champed it and the guy told him it was 20 years back. On further enquiry he'd said his name was Bob Blenkinsopp, that his speciality was History, and that he'd won a statue of Aphro-fuckin-ditey for his troubles which he'd later flogged for four grand. He'd also made it to the Mastermind semi's or something like that.
Anyway, neither of us can find jack shit on the geezer.
I thought some lass might have had a sex change but nah...
Maybe he's changed his name then. Or perhaps he actually is the mysteriously edited-out finalist who now frequents a chipped-shoulder Walter Mitty world of Near-Quiz-Champ Revenge; one where he won the series and sold the gold... in his own head.
The mystery thickens, or multiplies.

The name certainly doesn't ring a bell. Where was this, geographically? What did "Bob" look like? The pool of Fifteen to One big guns who also play SWPs is, I would have thought, fairly restricted...K_Oranj wrote: A few months back a friend of mine was quiz dabbling when a cocksure pulled up next to him and acted all helpful by answering stuff my comrade didn't not already know.

Mate was up near Manchester when he encountered him. 'Bob' also mentioned to him that he did guided tours of the Somme during summer. Of medium height and stocky-ish build I think he said; definitely mentioned he looked 50+ish.
On the 1v100 endgame he suggested my mate hit a certain silhouette since he thought it looked like a 'fat cunt'. Possibly a deluded and friendly psychopath then.
