After I tried running the searches myself I realized I probably made it a little too hard so a good hint had to be in order. I know the game I mentioned was esoteric but you still got it. Since you and Buddy both got the first half about the same time, want to give it over to him?
okay by me. He can take it. Or anyone else that want to for that matter.
Just a comment: Earthpuppy your answer was right, but please please wait for validation. The OP has stated that is a rule.
I’m waiting for buddy
Sorry. Didn’t mean to jump the gun…just that nooooooooobody else was around today but me, buddy, and dorkusetc…. So we just played…
So… what´s the next riddle?
May I suggest something that requires not only good net searching abilities, but also a fair dosis of ingenuity and deductive processes?
No harm no foul earthpuppy, it’s just that sometimes you might be sure you have it right and be wrong. It has obviously happened before. And part of me was just jealous I didn’t get to play. 
You’re right Ale it would be nice, the problem is finding a riddle. I’ve tried to do something like that in both my posts, but it’s hard to be good at it.
missing_link Where are you buddy? You start this thread, give us a new addiction and then abandon us. What’s up?
I am back now, I had a pretty stressful week, but it should definitely be better now. Now I up for the next question too.
By the way Chavardz, thanks for keeping a little order in this thread.
Hi, everybody sorry I took so long but I needed some well earned sleep having been up for 48 hrs.
Thankyou earthpuppy and dorkusmalorkusmafia for giving me the opportunitiy to have a go.
Well, here goes…
I was in my mate’s garage and noticed his 17th favorite album.
The question is: Who was the artist and who was he seen talking to during a recent concert in Ireland before his set?
How recent is recent? Meaning last week ,last month or last 3 months or so, otherwise this is rather hard to answer.
Good question, I’ll just check…within last 3 months. 
If you need me to be more specific, it will probably be coming to a post near you soon as a hint.
:smack: recent?? maybe I lied about “last 3 months” - I obviously meant “during the summer!”
(when you get old your eyesight goes and the ability to do sums appears to be somewhat random 11 - 7 <= 3 ?? :rolleyes: )
Sorry for sending you off on a wild goose chase.
To make up for it I’ll give you big clue to help you while I go to the pub for lunch: my mate does a similar job to me but has a different taste in alcoholic beverages.
Q: when was it ‘summer’ in England? (I apologize for my ignorance of international season-rotation times).
Y’know I think I’ll just look this up myself! (After having just realized I’m sitting in front of a computer which is connected to the information superhighway…)
Gmork, you mean you have this interweb thingie down there too, wow. 
missing_link, yes, the shiny people came and put the magical string in the ground so we could all get connectified and start surfing up the email…
Gmork - when you find out when it is ‘summer’ in England can you let us all know? It is a complete mystery to us too!
No sweat missing_link
Just to let you know, I have to leave by 5:30pm (GMT) today * ::snarls at security guard tapping his watch:: * if anybody has any questions. I will be back about 10(ish) tomorrow morning - you should have solved it by then.
I’m perfectly stumped
You can say that again.
Let’s see:
- The artist is male
- He or his band have had a concert in Ireland in the summer, most probably in July
- I don’t get the alcoholic beverages hint, it might have something to do with the artists / band name or a song
- I found out so far that the Red Hot Chili Peppers have played in Ireland in July, together with the Foo Fighters
What have you found so far?
Bupkiss… I can’t really concentrate
