You got my last one! Thought you might have nailed this one aswell! :)

@JohnRook
You sure you don't want to try? There might be something in there that you can relate to! :D

It's John Rook....little john, big john. The John = toilet. Then the second part is as giz says - Rook. The change that Monsoon is talking about is the change in Johns username to remove his surname - Rook.

That's right Mat you have explained it well.
Apologies to Giz it might not have been so easy for you, i hadn't realised John had ditched his Rook. Just aswell he might have sued me for using his name in vain. :)

If you feel like smacking your head Neferk, imagine how i feel!!! lol
Rather embarrassing from my point of view :oops: To be honest, if I can't get that one, then what chance have I got of getting 'any' riddle full stop? Monsoon you are a clever one. :wink:


p.s I just wanted to add that I really like your signature now Monsoon, what with all the book covers! I'm trying to find something like that myself. However, Neferk....Orlando Bloom! :? :wink:

I'm a musical chap renowned for my colourful dress sense. I have a couple of famous brothers and my favourite band is REM. Who am I?

Ok, I was reminded that I hadn't given my answer to my riddle so here goes:

Joseph (from "Joseph and his amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat").

The clues were:

Musical
Colourful dress
REM = dream
Brothers

...and I have no idea where that came from, I must have been having one of those random days!

Guess this is just too damn hard for even a hardened veteran of the forum like me.

Have you got any more clues for this?
