"Hang on, don't tell me..."

ImageForgive me for posting it again, but this puzzling example of rock "sculpture" deserves the attention of the wider public.

People have already hazarded guesses at precisely who the Jorkins these thumb marks in plasticine are supposed to represent. Nominations have so far included Peter Glaze, John Conteh and the Albino bloke out of Big Brother.

Care to offer your own left to right?

I'm going with...

(l-r) Edwyn Collins, Daley Thompson, the Wicked Witch of the West and Peter Frampton.

Niks | 7 July 2008 - 1:31pm

Million Dollar Quartet

I'm going for Elvis, Jimi, Lennon and eh, Bruce Forsythe?

John Connolly | 7 July 2008 - 1:32pm

With you on the first three

But the fourth is a tough one ... Neil from The Young Ones?

Richard Lowe | 7 July 2008 - 1:34pm

I reckon it has to be...

Mick Box of the Heep.

Patrick Crowther | 7 July 2008 - 1:49pm

We're not at home to Miss Catty!

Saucer of milk.

David Hepworth | 7 July 2008 - 2:37pm

Surely on the right

It's Bruce Forsyth !!

Gordon Kerr | 7 July 2008 - 1:34pm

The fantastic four

Superman, Rambo, Formula one magnate - Bernie Ecclestone, Jimmy Savile

backwards7 | 7 July 2008 - 1:38pm

Now then, now then...

the 4th is definitely Sir James.

CarlP | 7 July 2008 - 1:45pm

Yes yes yes

it's Bernie i couldn't make it mout but it's him.

Chris G | 7 July 2008 - 2:08pm

no, no it's

rick astley, a harlem globe trotter, one of the crows from Dumbo and cat weasel.
How big is it in real life?

Chris G | 7 July 2008 - 1:40pm

It's like Tap's Stonehenge

I've seen bigger wedding cakes.

Archie Valparaiso | 7 July 2008 - 2:01pm

I'm guessing

Larry Mullen, Richard Rowntree as Shaft, Paul Mcgann and Sir Jimmy Savile. Although I could be mistaken.

Andymac | 7 July 2008 - 1:42pm

Its.....

David Walliams, a strangely moustachioed Rab C Nesbitt, Ray Manzarek and one of those strange beings from Vic;n'Bob, is it Charlie Chuck or somesuch?

Retropath2 | 7 July 2008 - 1:51pm

Nah!

Johnny Cash, John McEnroe, Arthur Askey & the bloke from Foghat

Beany | 7 July 2008 - 1:53pm

From the left its...

...William Shatner, Arthur Lee, Max von Sydow and Ryan Sidebottom

FerrisCollier | 7 July 2008 - 2:00pm

Ryan Sidebottom!

Give that man a point.

David Hepworth | 7 July 2008 - 2:05pm

is the one in the glasses

Frank sidebottom then

Chris G | 7 July 2008 - 2:10pm

Someone put me out of my misery...

seriously, just who the hell IS that one on the right?? I'm trying not to cheat and look it up but I really don't get it!

Kitson | 7 July 2008 - 2:06pm

Spoiler

I originally posted the original press release in the, er, original posting by Original Dave H.

So I'm not telling.

Beany | 7 July 2008 - 2:20pm

Don't let daylight in on magic

The truth is bound to be a dissapointment.

David Hepworth | 7 July 2008 - 2:23pm

Disappointment?

Puzzlement more like.

So, you have found the venue for the Word blog Christmas Party then!

Beany | 7 July 2008 - 2:30pm

You mean

I was wrong with Biff then? Thanks, I will refer to your comment in the previous post when my brain can take no more racking!

Kitson | 7 July 2008 - 2:23pm

Seriously....

....it couldn't be Ted Nugent, could it?

David Hepworth | 7 July 2008 - 2:08pm

It looks

a bit like the farmer from "Babe-the sheep pig" with long hair

Chris G | 7 July 2008 - 2:11pm

I got it!

It's Biff Byford...from legendary trouser worriers Saxon?

Kitson | 7 July 2008 - 2:13pm

Mount Wiremore

Carcetti, Cutty, Bodie's meemaw and Bubbles

Archie Valparaiso | 7 July 2008 - 2:14pm

no no no

I've got the last 2 on the right , far right Rod Hull left Emu (wearing glasses for when use to pretend to be teacher or summat in the pink windmill)

Chris G | 7 July 2008 - 2:26pm

The one on the right....

....I've just looked to see who it's supposed to be....I'm in a complete state of shock. Are they mad? Or blind????

I'm reminded of Lionel Ritchie's Hello video....

SimonL | 7 July 2008 - 2:28pm

Comedy is the new rock 'n' roll

Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, George Burns and Larry David

Andy Lynes | 7 July 2008 - 2:29pm

Sidebottom

Being Irish and knowing nothing about cricket, I've never heard of Ryan Sidebottom but I've just googled him and I think we have a winner!

John Connolly | 7 July 2008 - 2:38pm

I thought Sidebottom was the comedian with the papier-mache head

He used to be on late night programmes on Channel 4, usually made by the Channel X production company.

LOUDspeaker | 7 July 2008 - 3:23pm

No

That's Frank Skinner

Beany | 7 July 2008 - 3:26pm

no that's

frank Carson

Chris G | 7 July 2008 - 3:52pm

no that's

Johnny Carson.

Steve Hill | 7 July 2008 - 4:22pm

no, no my mistake

it's Willy Carson...

Chris G | 7 July 2008 - 4:46pm

Hmmmm....

Lou Diamond Phillps, Bunk from The Wire, Plain Jane Superbrain and Edgar Winter

Five-Centres | 7 July 2008 - 2:39pm

Well...

That's Mark Lamarr on the left, Richard Harris on the right...

No, sorry. I give up.

Lucas Hare | 7 July 2008 - 3:01pm

I'll have a go...

...Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Willie Nelson? I'm fairly sure the first three are right but the last one is baffling.

JJ | 7 July 2008 - 3:01pm

process of elimination

the first three are clearly not Bono.

stew72 | 7 July 2008 - 3:28pm

EASY

Mark Kermode,Chuck Norris,Arthur Askey,Bruce Forsyth. What do i win ? The Far right could have been Richard Harris in "A Man Called Horse" but that was put in to fool you.

paul beard | 7 July 2008 - 3:33pm

Could be anybody

I'd go for the Banana Splits.

Bingo, Flealge, Drooper and Snork. Tra la la. La la la la.

Andy_B | 7 July 2008 - 3:31pm

It's clearly

From left to right

1. Marcus Tandy from Eldorado

2. Paul Breitner

3. Larry from U2

4. Darnell from Big Brother

What's my prize?

Leedsboy | 7 July 2008 - 3:46pm

you watch ...

big brother....! ;)

Chris G | 7 July 2008 - 3:53pm

I try

to keep abreast of all culture, popular and otherwise.

Leedsboy | 7 July 2008 - 5:24pm

Jerry

Garcia, surely?

Vulpes Vulpes | 7 July 2008 - 7:36pm

Blimey

Westlife have let themselves go, haven't they?

skirky | 7 July 2008 - 8:22pm

The First

is either Matt or Luke Goss though could be both as you can't see the other side, second is Rory McGrath, third Woody Allen and agree that the fourth must be Brucie

noedebohuse | 7 July 2008 - 9:13pm

I'm going for...

...Waddy Wachtel, far right.
He's worked with everyone.
Probably even Peter Glaze and John Conteh.

roylevy | 7 July 2008 - 10:37pm

Jackson and Warren just out of shot...

Steve Cropper, Russ Kunkel, David Lindley, Leland Sklar.

skirky | 7 July 2008 - 11:20pm

LEEDSBOY

What a spot!.Marcus from Eldorado. I kneel at your feet.

paul beard | 7 July 2008 - 11:38pm

I was prouder

of Paul Breitner to be honest. 70's german footballers being the very opposite of cool.

Leedsboy | 15 July 2008 - 2:25pm

Speaking of which. . .

has anyone else ever noticed that Gerd "Der Bomber" Müller's eyes are set even closer together than Bjorn Borg's?
Photobucket

Thought not.

Archie Valparaiso | 15 July 2008 - 4:52pm

I go along with Conteh and Savile...

...but the first and third are surely Manuel Noriega and Peter Mandelson

Stan Halen | 8 July 2008 - 1:58am

The first (far left)

is surely Martin "Don't mention The Professionals" Shaw.

Johan | 8 July 2008 - 4:39am

is it a new senakot ad possibly?

from left..

1. 'no, not happening'
2. 'REALLY not happening'
3. 'call the ambulance...'
4. (the following morning) 'thank you, senakot..'

sorry...

Carwash Casteneda | 8 July 2008 - 10:25am

118 118

2nd from the left is obviously one of the 118 118 men so why not just phone him up and find out who his friends are.
