Fitzroy James Henry Somerset 1st Baron Raglan.Napoleonic and Crimean Wars Designed the sleeve that made it easier to get a jacket off a wounded soldier. Good one Fitzy, but why send 600 men to their deaths by not checking which valley was safe and which was fortified?

Years ago a guy told me a story about that ~
He was hitch-hiking to college. It was twilight and starting to rain, so he was greatly relieved when a car stopped for him. The driver leaned across and opened the passenger door. Just as he did, the song playing on the radio arrived at the line, "There's a killer on the road; his brain is squirming like a toad". Both young men looked at each other in horror, then both started laughing & my friend got in the car and was taken to his destination.
Later that year he was hitch-hiking home from college and the exact same thing happened -- same time of day, same light rain, the same driver stopped for him, and the same song was playing that same line when the door swung open.

So where does Alan Davies come in? I'll swear there was a name with 'ies' in it in the place where 'Ed Harris'is. I did not see Ed on the list until you mentioned him. Was he a ring in? Borat Sagdiyev is a satirical fictional character, created and performed by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
