Okay guys, I've ranted a raved for a long time now. Here it is: I met an Irish guy (from Ireland) very handsome. When he introduced himself to me I almost died. Can you guess what his name was?

~Dina Wed, Feb 5, 1997 (16:20) #1

~Inko Wed, Feb 5, 1997 (16:47) #2

Ciaran Hinds or Liam Neeson

~lisaC Wed, Feb 5, 1997 (18:26) #3

~kendall Wed, Feb 5, 1997 (19:32) #5

Kenneth Braugh !! ------------- I know a man who shoots but does not kill - and cannot drive very well at all. Who is he?

~JohanneD Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (11:46) #6

Laura, you give us ONE clue "coming from Ireland" and I know you're in Boston. Do you know how many guys from Ireland there is in Boston ? So who else as not been mentionned, Pierce Brosnan comes from Ireland. Is this the name of an actor or a musician, any other clue ? And think 007 would fit your description Katy, not sure you can count his driving as very well ;)

~Carolineevans Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (13:30) #7

Katy, does he shoot goals?And play golf badly? Other Irishmen- Peter o'Toole,The Dubliners, The Fighting Irish, Mad Mick Mcconnaghy from Ballyglogglgga,..... Laura, the list goes on and on.........

~LauraMM Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (14:01) #8

Okay, I did give a clue. I said I harrassed you all. Guess what his name is. And it is no one famous (unfortunately!). That is the only clue. No to Rupert, Pierce, think cinema.

~Meggin Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (14:11) #9

William Collins?

~Dina Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (14:36) #10

DeBergh? Bingley? Though I like Collins.

~Donna Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (16:32) #11

"Maurice" or "Hamlet" irish last name,maybe?

~Donna Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (16:46) #12

]I know a man who shoots but does not kill- and can't drive very well at all. President Ford? I was thinking along the same way as Caroline. Photographer,basketball player ect. and golfer or race car driver. Then I thought of Pres. Ford and his bad golf games. Do you shoot a golf ball or drive it?

~kendall Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (19:20) #13

My pal is a character in a book we have talked about from time to time.

~Carolineevans Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (22:06) #14

He wouldn't be in the habit of overturning his gig all the time, would he, Katy?

~ayelet Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (22:44) #15

I saw a homepage of a little girl once, and guess what was her first name?

~Meggin Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (22:49) #16

Webigail?

~kendall Thu, Feb 6, 1997 (23:20) #17

Aye, Caroline, he was indeed.

~Anne3 Fri, Feb 7, 1997 (08:47) #18

Ayelet: I saw a homepage of a little girl once, and guess what was her first name? Ayelet?

~Amy Fri, Feb 7, 1997 (09:08) #19

Okay, give, Ayelet. Give us the URL.

~LauraMM Fri, Feb 7, 1997 (11:32) #20

Donna had it. It was Maurice. Sorry thought it would be a fun game took you guys long enough. You know how much I love that movie and book. I saw DANTE's PEAK yesterday. Awesome special effects, and Pierce Brosnan

~Carolineevans Fri, Feb 7, 1997 (12:18) #21

Nice one, Katy. And now I have one, just for you:_ I know a little girl who hides letters from the eyes of her parents, and now she doesn't know what to do!

~kendall Fri, Feb 7, 1997 (18:08) #22

Caroline - could be Kitty Bennet?

~ayelet Sun, Feb 9, 1997 (08:28) #23

Anne3: No Meggin: No Amy: I forgot it You'll NEVER guess! Giving up?

~kendall Sun, Feb 9, 1997 (11:06) #24

Ayelet: Margaret (Dashwood)? If not, how about a another hint to narrow the possibilities?

~Meggin Mon, Feb 10, 1997 (14:21) #25

Alice? (As in Lewis Carroll. . . )

~ayelet Mon, Feb 10, 1997 (22:35) #26

Nice try, but you must look for a REALLY crazy name, you won't belive when I'll tell you, but it's true.

~JohanneD Tue, Feb 11, 1997 (13:14) #27

Nabucodonozor

~Meggin Tue, Feb 11, 1997 (14:02) #28

Johanne, if that's correct, you must be a genius! ;-)

~JohanneD Tue, Feb 11, 1997 (14:13) #29

Oups mispelled : Nabuchodonosor or Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon No genius Margeret :)

~JohanneD Tue, Feb 11, 1997 (14:14) #30

Oups mispelled : Nabuchodonosor or Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon No genius Margaret :)

~ayelet Wed, Feb 12, 1997 (06:58) #31

Is that adressed to me? Anyway, it's wrong, am I to tell, or do you want to try more?

~Anne3 Wed, Feb 12, 1997 (07:54) #32

We want another hint, Ayelet. Is the name Austen-related?

~Ann2 Tue, Feb 18, 1997 (12:55) #33

LOL Johanne, that's a nice name for a girl;-) a REALLY crazy name Cinderella Rockefeller ? Caroline Darcy?? Cleopatra ? Darcyanna? Fitzwilhelmina? And Caroline little girl who hides letters from the eyes of her parents that young girl in Valmont?

~Carolineevans Tue, Feb 18, 1997 (21:43) #34

Ann-no! Katy guessed it. It was Kitty Bennet! Katy knew I was writing a fanfiction scene about letters Lydia wrote to Kitty from Brighton!She helped me comb through the book, which does say that Kitty received letters that she wouldn't show her parents, and that her mother did allow her some privacy, unlike her treatment of Jane!

~Carolineevans Tue, Feb 18, 1997 (21:54) #35

C'mon, Ayelet!We give up!And while we are waiting for her: I know a man whose ship is broken up for scrap, has a seat near Gateshead, in the county of__________ , is a medieval bad-guy knight,and was once a hunch-back and a king........,much to the approval of his countrymen.

~Cheryl Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (00:33) #36

Caroline, wild guess...was it Charles Laughton??

~Carolineevans Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (08:19) #37

Nope.We have drooled about him a bit Cheryl. YOU, me and a few others.And Johanne has pictures up.

~ayelet Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (08:47) #38

Ann2, you were CLOSE, the name is simply DARCY No, really, I'm NOT kidding, I have no way to prove it except my word as a gentleman (Oops, Gentlegirl, that gentlepepole thing is so confusing).

~Amy Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (08:51) #39

Gentlegirl, I see you peeked into chat when no one was home. Be careful in there, baby. Dont' go at night, okay?

~Cheryl Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (11:30) #40

Caroline: We have drooled about him a bit Cheryl. YOU, me and a few others.And Johanne has pictures up. Oh Caroline! I thought you were going to narrow it down for me! ;-)

~Carolineevans Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (12:28) #41

Okay, I thought I had narrowed it down! Leave out the seat near Gateshead, it's probably a bit confusing.You said something about twofer, Cheryl?

~LauraMM Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (13:42) #42

Caroline the only one I can think of is John Lynch, Hunchback from Secret Garden, don't know about the king part. Well am I correct?

~JohanneD Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (14:48) #43

Wild guess, Alan Rickman, he played a nice villain in the middle-ages :)

~Cheryl Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (15:27) #44

a "twofer"...hmmmm.....hold on...

~Cheryl Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (15:43) #45

ok, Caroline, what about Cairan Hines? that was my first thought from the "ship broken up for scrap" hint, but I couldn't come up with a hunchback role.

~Amy Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (16:17) #46

] couldn't come up with a hunchback role. __ But Hinds would do a pitiable one. I don't even think I would like to see it.

~Carolineevans Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (18:52) #47

Well done Cheryl! CH it is. The ship is the ASP.The estate near Gateshead is MR Rochester's, the wicked Medeival Knight is Wotsit de Thingummy on Ivanhoe, and the hunchback king, Richard III (the only WAS in all those IS's) he did on stage, at short notice, and to rave reviews in the Irish Papers, according to the blurb put up by Johanne. Now call me a ratbag.

~Cheryl Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (20:03) #48

Caroline: Now call me a ratbag. Caroline, my dear, you are a ratbag!

~JohanneD Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (22:16) #49

Boy was I way off, let me lurk some more so I get how its done duh!

~ayelet Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (22:51) #50

Amy, it wasn't night here, but I won't anymore anyway.

~Amy Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (23:24) #51

Oh, baby, please don't think we would not love to talk to you. But can I be your web mom, and just suggest that you stay away from our 10 pm to 4 am hours in there?

~Amy Wed, Feb 19, 1997 (23:25) #52

Oh, Ayelet, guess what? Good news! I think my 12-year old has finally turned the corner on reading. You know, I was worried he did not enjoy reading for pleasure? Well, tonight, he made me take him to the library because he left a book at school and could not wait to see what happened. A good sign, no?

~Ann2 Thu, Feb 20, 1997 (09:05) #53

I am proud Aylet, I think it was your saying: 'you wont believe it when I tell you'that made me think it was something like Darcyanna. It was her first name do you think, Darcy ??

~kendall Thu, Feb 20, 1997 (19:49) #54

My daughter has a friend named Darcy Elizabeth. guess how long it took me to discover her mother was a JA fan?

~ayelet Thu, Feb 20, 1997 (23:07) #55

Amy: I sure do! I remember one night I couldn't sleep becouse I left a book I read at my grandmas' Katy: half a second?

~kendall Fri, Feb 21, 1997 (01:02) #56

Ayelet - exactly! She has a brother named Brandon, BTW.

~Amy Wed, Mar 5, 1997 (15:49) #57

] couldn't sleep becouse I left a book I read at my grandmas' ____ So, Ayelet, is your whole extended family in Israel?

~ayelet Wed, Mar 12, 1997 (22:49) #58

Except of a few uncles and aunts, we went to the USA because my father wanted to learn there, it was before I was born.
