That's a first; a clue but no initial letter.
OK, I think that you're Chuck Yeager.

I know were only sticking very loosely to the rules Luxo but it is Botticelli we are playing mate.
God it's amazing how threads go adrift innit

Perhaps if there is enough interest we should start one with the appropriate title.
Anyway, very rough rules, its quite like twenty questions, but we have to pick a person supposedly at least as famous as this Botticelli chap (who I think was a decorator or something similar

), then give the First letter of his surname though it is sometimes acceptable to to use the initial of his first name but it can make it confusing and probably better avoided.
We then ask questions to track down who you are, the real rules are stricter with direct and indirect question modes apparently but I never figured that out, so if folks are happy we'll just stick with the simple informal version we've been playing till now.
Everyone agree?

There are
rules? 
Oh dear, many more of these revelations and we'll be back into anally retentive territory; Morning Glory Circle (number 1164?) or whatever it's called.
Arceye, you know too much,
far too much about Botticelli.
And I still say that Rick is being Chuck Yeager.

OK, Thanks Arceye, I needed a bit of guidance there.
Right, the initial of my surname is W, and, amazingly, I'm not Chuck Yeager.
Cheers!

Neither a Prime Minister nor Hank Williams.
Think along the lines of the previous person.

I am male, and will ignore the question from Rich, who has obviously spent far too long living with the French.
