Another word game - twenty questions

After yesterday's Twenty Hints on one of the threads, I was reminded of that old favourite Twenty Questions.
Rules reminders:-
Someone thinks of something/someone and posts a very minimal clue - just the category (person, film title, object or whatever)
Others post questions, to which the answer can only be "Yes" or "No" or guesses of who/what they are thinking of.
Questions are limited to twenty.
If someone guesses correctly within the twenty, they choose the next subject, or nominate someone else to do so.
If not, the answer is given and another subject chosen, either by whoever posted the unguessed one or by someone else who has been nominated.

I'll start it off - A person.

Well done to Elegran too as she also guessed it. Wow Wobbly that was HARD, made my brain ache. Mind you as soon as you said best at this time of year I thought apples, a good clue.

Elegran would you like to give a clue next as you began this game and I really need to sign off and get some other things done before bedtime.

Linsco56 Fri 04-Nov-16 20:56:11

Well done! That took a bit of lateral thinking.
