Or better still...

What is is the difference between Royston Vasey and Royston Vasie?

Royston Vasey is also the real name of crude UK comic Roy 'Chubby' Brown. Not a lot of people know that

OK - here's a literary question:

What 20th century author is credited with saying: "In the particular is contained the universal." And what was he referring to?

What day was Michael Rennie ill? and what did he tell us?

I want to say the day the Earth stood still, assuming you're speaking of the character he played ("Klaatu"), and the message was play nice or else: we're watching.

Was that Wittgenstein, and was he speaking of language?

Yes it was a reference to another reference and you got the first one.

poohbear_nc · 05-18-2011, 08:36 AM

nope - not Hawking either

poohbear_nc · 05-18-2011, 08:37 AM

Hint: he was speaking of the settings for his novels

Bilbo1967 · 05-19-2011, 09:22 AM

So, a 20th Century novelist, I'll take a wild guess at F. Scott Fitzgerald?

orlok · 05-19-2011, 09:34 AM

Samuel Beckett?

poohbear_nc · 05-19-2011, 10:03 AM

no & no

[hint - not American]

orlok · 05-19-2011, 10:42 AM

George Bernard Shaw?

Bilbo1967 · 05-19-2011, 10:52 AM

D. H. Lawrence?
