I am now thinking I'm DEFINITELY on the right lines here: 'I thought you were dead' was a line uttered to Plissken repeatedly in Escape from New York, and I believe it was a homage to a similar line given to a John Wayne character.......please put me out of my misery!

You are an infuriating man, Keith, and the Himalayas are not far enough. Have they all played peopl who were meant to be dead?

if it's that simple I shall call by your house and berate you

It's bloody snakes! I don't believe you!

That's utter genius. I shall use those words later on in the Lion......

It's snakes, it has to be! Snake Plisken, Snakes on a Plane, Angelina Jolie and - er - a snake (now there's a thought), Bette Davis was a bit of a snake, John Wayne, erm, might have shot a rattlesnake, Tom Cruise is a Scientoligist, and they are snakes, and so on......

Connection now totals four, am I on to something?

Where does 'morts' come from then?

Snakes? (i can find a connection between two of them!)

We're looking, and we can't see it!

have they appeared in a film while in a film? I mean, in the backgorund on telly or something. Or something else. Bloody hell Keith!

I, for one, give up!

OK, another effort, have they all played themselves on screen?

Anyone interested in F1 might want to read my fresh new blog......(shameless plug alert)....... http://stevesf1site.wordpress.com/

Have they all played actors in films? I'm clutching at straws now!

keith, this one is really, really nasty. Any better clues? I mean, appearances in films...bit vague?? Is it to do with who they have appeared alongside?

Got it! They've all appeared in films!

Have they all turned down roles that went on to be successful?

This is a hard one! Is it something to do with New York?

have they all played former cartoon characters?

Have they all acted opposite their wife/husband?

really? I don't think the law was meant to apply to that sort of smoke!

Yes! Nice to have something to ponder when bored at work!

I think it is still there; the last landlord restored it to working order about five/six years ago. Interesting to see this comment, given that the open fire in the Lion was lit yesterday!

Aha, I happen to know this without the need to even think, so I'll leave it for others to try and get it first.....no clues from me!!
