Think the Cook islands has already been dismissed by Ig in her reply to my post 1840...

As for capitailising Bony, nope that doesn't help much!

Might be Napoleon, (or as it's an encounter maybe a reference to one of his battles), Maroni or just the letter M if it was Bon(e)y M....

Left Jordan....well, nobody's tried Peter yet if it's not Andre. Could be the left letter of Jordan also, i.e 'J', but I doubt it heh.....

oops left a letter out of the surname so I'll rephrase the latter part of the clue.
heading to the south pacific.
Left Jordan and had a Bony encounter before a couple of bad dances.

Altered slightly

tennis player

Pete Sampras

Nope - let's start again.

Left Jordan and had a Bony encounter before some bad dances.

I'll expand the clue by saying bad dances in the South Pacific.

Little or no time over the weekend. Am picking up a traveller at 7 a.m. tomorrow so I promise this will be solved tonight.

Jordan is the country.

We're looking for a hyphened forename.

Now that has got to be a giveaway.

Jo Wilfried Tsonga

If anybody needs me I'll be in the Drawing Room with a revolver.....

Makes sense though....

Jo = left hand letters of Jordan
Wilfried Bony a footballer
Bad dances...anagram of tangos = tsonga
And Tonga in the South Pacific of course....

Well done Albion, fiendish clue Ig!!

Jo Wilfried Tsonga is the man.

JO - the international code for Jordan.

Wilfried Bony - Ivory Coast footballer plays for Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem.

Bad dances - anagram of tangos

Cap'n is the revolver loaded

Meat And Potatoes And Beans Surround A Painting

Hahahaha! I just had a panic on, in case anyone thought my exhasperation was the next set of clues. I'm like "I bet somebody's written Dan Luger?"
I couldn't find a revolver, so I've had a glass of wine instead - I feel a lot better.

*bump*

anyone any ideas? 'Painting' may be 'art' and 'surround' an instruction that the rest of the answer goes around it.....

You are spot on so far!

Taking liberties with his first name, I offer Stewart Broad.

Well done Big Dipper

Stu -meat and potatoes(stew)
art-painting
Broad-beans

Thanks.

Presumably, it's down to me to dream up the next one. Being a newcomer to this game I'm curious to know of any restrictions. For example, does the subject have to be alive? Or whatever.

No restrictions, although personally I try to make them someone you've probably heard of, subjective though that is

OK, let's go with Cooler river party.

If cooler was serener, then maybe Serena Williams but i cant make the surname work. Conversely:

River could be Dee

Party could be Tory

So I'm thinking Frankie Dettori......but not sure how Cooler = Frankie??

At what stage does Game Protocol dictate I give a further clue?

Again, down to the individual BD. The clues only been up twenty minutes so maybe leave it a while. Did you notice my edit?

I see it now.

Clever, but not close to the answer.
