Question of the day

[zagatoes30]

Ok what connects the following people

Issac Darkin, George Lyon, Richard O Sullivan, Sam J Jones and Adam Ant

 

[spkennyuk]

I only know who two of them are.
Richard O'Sullivan was in Man about the house. He also did a late 70s series called Dick Turpin.
Adam ant played the Dandy highwayman in the video for stand and deliver.

So without knowing who the others are the connection is something to do with Highway men or portrayals of them.

Quick one for those lovers of old films :

Which Carrey Grant film featured two old ladies who took in travellers and killed them ?

That would be "Arsenic and Old Lace".

[Geo]

They were very lightweight and very economical, but why?

 

[zagatoes30]

around 24 hours, so you best start hinting

They were motorcycles. You occasionally see them up for sale.

 

[Geo]

[allandwf]

OK a quick one, I'm sure some of you will know. What is a Wasp Major?

 

[Geo]

I refuse to answer this one, I think you know why.

 

[RSM Masser]

I refuse to answer this one, I think you know why.

Because you know the answer?
Isn’t that the point?

 

[allandwf]

I refuse to answer this one, I think you know why.

That should be a big enough clue to point the majority in the correct direction.
