No, not Richard of `Virgin` fame, nor Reuben.

So, let`s see if clue No2 helps.

Quiz 23
Clue 2

I particularly enjoy the game of golf.

WHO am I?



Posted by: jojomataketa

Ok, here goes...My answer must be worth atleast 50c.

Mohamed Al Fayed


But the only worry is, he tells me he loves soccer!...So much so, this Egyptian friend of mine (from wayback), bought a little soccer club somewhere!

Golf?...no idea if he knows what a tee is!...He sure knows what 'tea' is!..calls it 'chai'!
And I doubt if he knows what a 'hole in one' is either!
But who cares, he is a high flier!

Hi, Al, salaam valekum! Kaisa hai duniya, beta?



Posted by: forwardone

Mr Al Fayed does indeed like soccer, so much so that your mate does of course own Fulham F.C.

Alas, he isn`t the mystery `WHO` for this week`s Trivia Quiz.

Geoff



Posted by: Kiss

Ohhhhhhhh . . . I think I got it!!! . . . how's about Paul Allen??? . . . the other half of the gruesome twosome!!! hahaha



Posted by: Kiss

hmmmmmmmm . .. was I too early to play again??? . . . I mean I slept and everything . .. and it's another day for me!!! lol



Posted by: forwardone

Well actually, Kiss, it`s not Paul Allen, who before I looked him up I must confess I knew very little about.

Quote:
Paul G. Allen (born January 21, 1953) is an entrepreneur who first established himself by co-founding Microsoft Corporation with Bill Gates. He regularly appears on lists of the richest people in the world; as of 2004 he is ranked by Forbes magazine as the fifth richest, worth an estimated $21 billion, $5 billion of which is in Microsoft stock.

Very good try though.

Good to see you are conscious of the rules, Kiss, but as you didn`t really make a guess as such earlier today this one would have been accepted, (had it been right of course.)

Geoff



Posted by: Kiss

ahhhhhh . .but the reason I chose Paul Allen . .was becuz he was behind the SpaceShipOne project!!! . .. and you can't fly much higher than that!!! hahaha


As SpaceShipOne shot through the sound barrier December 17 it was also confirmed that investor Paul Allen is the sponsor behind the project.

Allen co-founded Microsoft Corporation with Bill Gates in 1975 and served as the company's executive vice president of research and new product development. He owns and invests in a suite of companies exploring the potential of digital communications.

SpaceShipOne and its White Knight turbojet launch aircraft represent the first private non-government effort to demonstrate a low-cost manned space effort. SpaceShipOne is a contender for the coveted X Prize - a $10 million purse to help stimulate sub-orbital as well as orbital passenger space travel.

Must be something about multi-millionaires, Richard Branson is a keen balloonist who has attempted several balloon flight records.

Anyway, look out for Clue No.3 coming up a little later.

Geoff

There are a million millionaires....but....putting 2 and 2 from his phonecall to me last night, it aught to be...............


STEVE FOSSETT
..........Hi Steve, old chap, how is that much used machinery? still working?..Good for you!


Here is his confidential file he sent me a few minutes back!

http://www.who2.com/stevefossett.html



Posted by: forwardone

No, not the co-adventurer/balloonist, Steve Fossett, who attempted a record balloon trip in 1998 but had to be rescued after their balloon came down in the Pacific. You`ll have to move on to one of your other buddies, jojo.

WOW! I have 2 big ones.............................................


And all are definitely yours I presume!




Posted by: jojomataketa

Bill insisted to me that he has 3 children,(all his, he insists) and not 2! as you claimed!...You are slipping with your facts there, Geoff........Bill says he won't bill you for that error, unless you use Linux.

BILL GATES!!

http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/bio.asp
"Gates was married on Jan. 1, 1994, to Melinda French Gates. They have three children. Gates is an avid reader,
and enjoys playing golf and bridge"


Hi Billy boy, I appreeciate your offer to fund a million into my HYIPs, especially that gem of a program, YIWSN. Thanks, but no thanks my friend, because, I would like to get rich on my own, if you don't mind.....But, if you insist a second time, who am I to say no twice in a row to my fourth best friend.

By the way, stop looking out your windows. Think about this: When a window closes, God opens a door.



Posted by: forwardone

Hey, jojomataketa, what a huge circle of rich and famous friends you have. But, none of them fit the `bill` so far.

Quiz 23
Clue 4

My boss has described me in this way, "She's also very firm, very tough, very smart, very shrewd and has good judgment."

WHO am I?

Geoff



Posted by: enrich

Carolyn Kepcher



Posted by: forwardone

Excellent, enrich. I am Carolyn Kepcher.

As anyone who has watched `The Apprentice` on T.V. lately will know, Ms Kepcher is one of Donald Trump`s assistants on the show. She has also appeared on several other shows over recent years after joining the Trump empire some 9 years ago, and holds some key positions in Trump`s organization.

So, enrich, very well done in finding one of the less obvious high flyers in the business world.

Please PM me your E-gold No. and I`ll get your $5 winnings sent off to you.

A little info on Carolyn Kepcher - Trump's Right Hand Woman

http://theapprentice.typepad.com/th...ice/Carolyn.jpg
Hand-picked by Trump from the ranks of his top executives, Carolyn Kepcher acts as Donald's eyes and ears on NBC's runaway hit show, "The Apprentice." Kepcher is seen each week seated on Donald's left in the dreaded boardroom.

"She's also very firm, very tough, very smart, very shrewd and has good judgment," Trump says of Kepcher, who is also an executive vice president of the Trump Organization, as well as general manager and chief operating officer for two Trump National golf clubs, in Briarcliff, N.Y., and Bedminster, N.J.

In the first episode, in Trump's introduction of Kepcher made it clear she was no softy. In the third episode, Kepcher took the women to task for their reliance on sex to win the first three challenges, letting them know this kind of behaviour was not going to get them the job. While somehow making it seem that she still wanted a woman to win.

Kepcher has been with Trump for about nine years. A native of Westchester, Kepcher came to Trump's company via the hospitality industry, where she was previously director of sales and marketing for the Beck Summit Hotel Management Group of Boca Raton, Fla.

Now a resident of Connecticut, Kepcher is married with two small children.

What's she looking for in a winning apprentice? Leadership, creativity, "the whole package," she says. "From working for Mr. Trump for the amount of time that I have, I know what he's looking for - a take-charge person . . . He's looking for truly talented people."

And Kepcher has no time to dwell on her newfound fame. "To be perfectly honest," she says, "I'm a little too wrapped up in my real job right now to actually go out and enjoy it."

Hi Geoff,
I should have said 'Donald's trump card', instead of 'Donald trump'!

She isn't one of my rich and famous friends....not yet anyway. I will work on her soon. I shall ask my buddy Donald to set up a rendezvous soon.

Or Donald's tramp?


QUOTE:"I'm a little too wrapped up in my real job right now to actually go out and enjoy it."

Oh, poor thing!..You are most welcome to get away from it all for a while Come and spend a weekend with me!!





Or Donald's tramp?

Famous singer....(And an extra hint: was born in Lucknow, India)

Posted by: forwardone

jojomataketa, at least make it a little bit difficult.


Quote:

Cliff Richard

Sir Cliff Richard (born Harry Webb in Lucknow, India, on October 14, 1940) is the stage name of one of the UK's most popular singers of all time.
Cliff Richard was one of the founding members of The Drifters (not to be confused with the American group of the same name), who later changed their name to Cliff Richard and the Drifters and then Cliff Richard and the Shadows.

Sooooo easy.

Guys, guys, guys...

how would you like it if I went on your territory to discuss how hot your wife is?

I met Norah with Come away with me and immediately fell in love. Our passion's been increasing with each song she released from then on and she will be the one standing at the altar with me on my wedding day so please, if you want your invitations, I'm gonna have to be able to trust that you'll be able to control your temptations...

A little more seriously, I'm with you: that woman is hot like fire, she is so damn sexy behind her piano, I don't know why but I lose my mind everytime I close my eyes and I picture her singing turn me on just for me...

Ouuu la la.

Sweet Dreams
"Sweet dreams come once a year
Dreams that are found from far and near
I wish like hell a dream was true
To spend my joyest time with you
A dream is like a breeze of wind
A dream is falling in love again
From my heart I wish not bare
Hand in hand and you'll be there
Feeling sad that does not seem
You'll always be my sweet
Dreams "
James Williams



Hi Simon,
Dreams are free. Dream on!

cheers!
jojo
