Dang! I was wondering when Chengdufan would post the new one. Too slow!

James Wattana?

Michael Holt? Bit dubious this one, but bear with me.

Grannies > granny knots > Notts (Nottinghamshire)

A holt is an otter’s den, which I’d imagine is quite a wet place. Holt’s from Nottingham.

Bit of a stretch, but Parrott?

As in:
'PAH!' those granny smith apples have ROTted after being soaked.

Re: 2 Word Clue

No, not Parrott, but I was suitably entertained by the reasoning.

The answer is in the vein of recent Iranu-style answers in that the normal pronunciation of the name might not make immediate sense, but one version of a potential pronunciation would make it obvious.

Both clues do also relate to one part each of a surname.

Noppon Saengkham?

Saengkham > sank ‘em

Struggling to make ‘grannies’ work though. I don’t think it’s him, but worth a pop.

Or maybe Dean Reynolds :chin:

‘Rain olds’.

White Baron

White could probably be linked to anyone.

So, looking at baron, the first thing that springs to mind is von Richthofen.
So, Simon Lichtenberg?

(And as expected, I see wiki throws up a couple of Simon Whites)

Judd Trump? Isn't one of the other Trump's children called Baron?

Re: 2 Word Clue

No correct answers so far. But one of you got pretty damn close to the correct logic.

Re: 2 Word Clue

I also considered Barry Hawkins, for Barry White + this from Wikipedia about the Baron:

Wikipedia wrote:On 23 November 1916, Richthofen shot down his most famous adversary, British ace Major Lanoe Hawker VC

Not Ray Edmonds or Barry Hawkins.

A clue…

Roof pizza.

Bingo!

The pizza on the roof is a classic scene from Breaking Bad, Walter White being the lead character.

Barron Trump is Donald’s son.

Over to Iranu <ok>

Indeed! And he was only a step or two away from the solution.

Daylight robbery! That was a really nice clue though.

Assistance Labyrinth

Re: 2 Word Clue

Guy Dennis? (Guide Ennis = Guy Dennis)

Phonetically, Guy D = guide (assistance)

And according to Google a place in Texas called Ennis has an annual ‘Hay Maze’ event (Maze > Labyrinth).

So Guide Ennis > Guy Dennis.

I’d love it to be correct, but I’m sure it’s miles away <laugh>

Re: 2 Word Clue

Postby Iranu

I have no idea who Guy Dennis is.

Amazingly, even though your result is a mile off, your logic is actually heading in the right direction on both counts!

This clue refers to surname only.
