Here's a game to get everyone thinking or not if you dont like it. Someone here says a quote from someone famous and lets us know what profession the famous person is/was in. The rest of us gets to ask questions until one of you gets the person right then the winner gets to quote another famous person and so on.

I will start the game off with an easy one.

I know of quite a few of the old Irish writers/playright's (i presume its one of the old ones) but havent read any of their work so im just going to try for the most famous one then give someone else a chance. James Joyce?

come on - the sentence was only a few words long. quoting a sentence by james joyce would wreck the bandwidth for a week (winky face)

The quote was from Oscar Wilde.

Continuing with the theme of Authors/Playrights, how about "Is it finished yet?"
