Thumbs up

Darn you, it took me longer to come up with the anagram than it took you to solve it ...

Take it as a compliment - it was a clue that "followed the rules" perfectly which made it easy for someone who knew the rules and had been around long enought to be aware of a MIA downer with an eyesplitting name.

As ever it will be a hard act to follow...

One for Downers of a certain age perhaps....

You were on the right path Bethberry but drawn the wrong conclusions...

Beleg I don't know who you mean but I mean (oops) John McEnroe, three time Wimbledon champion.

Rune, I refer you to the answer I gave BB .. anything more would make it far too obvious.

Perhaps someone who, try as he/she might, simply cannot be serious, and therefore...

... is it Serious Cat? In an altogether serious response to Mr MacEnroe? I.e. "Oh, but I are!"

I love this answer and the thought processes are right - just that, well I wouldn't want to diss Serious Cat (and would not dare!) but this is a downer with an account .. not a haunter of sigs...

Three time champion? Is there any Downer who has "won" Werewolf three times?
