I'm alright at the catchphrase thats on the tele, this thread is like eggheads do catchphrase

Spook_ie

Did I count right 32 lines of Tyler x 6 on a line?

No idea what it means but there must be a number involved somewhere, right?

Sheridan81

No number involved. The catchphrase is five words. Working it out involves a famous person.

Good guess but no. The number(s) are important in a way too.

Spook_ie

Taking a wild guess, with the phone held sideways you get rows of Tyler's.

Maybe Rose Tyler from Doctor Who with last appearance in

"The Day of the Doctor"

Sheridan81

That is a wild guess.:D

It's probably quite hard so another clue: the famous person that helps solve the riddle is long dead.

Sheridan81

Oh and he was/is an American.

Spook_ie

President Tyler?

This kinda thing is way too difficult for me!! My level is more like...
Picture of a dog . Picture of a bag.
Doggy Bag!!! Ding ding ding!

That Tyler thing is more like a riddle than a 'say what you see' catchphrase!

Axwell

Something to do with John Tyler, 10th US President

Sheridan81

No. This guy was regarded as an asshole by a lot of people. It's a bit hard alright but there were a few easy ones recently and I wasn't 'aving that.:cool:

Sheridan81

The first word in the phrase is 'A'.

Spook_ie

I have nothing new to add to this one, head scratching!

Sheridan81

Another word in the catchphrase is 'Of'.

This famous person I'm talking about---

died in the sixties.
starred in a silent movie but wasn't a movie star.
was mentioned in a poem by a well-known poet.
had his name used as the title of a song by a famous rock band.

auspicious

I've no idea.

So much information and I'm still utterly clueless!

I think the clue might be Ty Cobb, but still no closer to solving it.

Yeah, well done. Once you've figured that out it shouldn't be too hard.

tscul32

"Shouldn't be too hard"?? hmm.. debatable

But Ty was short for Tyrus not Tyler?

Ty Cobb?? I had to Google him! Is that someone Irish people would know? And how would anyone have guessed that without all the additional clues?

Spook_ie

Googled loads on Tryus Cobb and nothing like a phrase hitting me.
