      Thanks Clive!

      Right - here's my question.

      After a week with yet again more embarrassing revelations about our elected representatives, can anyone name the Minister who was allegedly driving drunk down a one-way street in the wrong direction, was stopped by a Garda who asked him did he not see the arrows?
      His reply - "I didn't even see the effin Indians"

      Nice one dillallio. Welcome to the thread. Would your first name be Lorenzo by any chance?

      Is it something to do with driving? Connery was a truck driver and Pitt a cheauffeur but not sure about the link to the other two. I can imagine Willis as a driver easily enough.

      If they do, I never heard it. I don't think so.

      Well they both won the inaugural 5000m world championships. But maybe you want something more specific.

      That's what I was looking for. Several years apart, but each was the first world champion over 5000m.

      Oh Lord, so a question is needed!

      What links the physicist Lord Kelvin and the author Catherine Gaskin with the explorer Ernest Shackleton.?

      They both made up Pangaea and Lurasia went on to become North America and Eurasia while Gondwana became the rest of the continents.
