mjmooney Posted November 18, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2013 Most stolen book in London... not that big.... minor footballing connection... The Stranger by Albert Camus. Correct! So much for the no google rule :winkold: I thought my clue almost made it obvious Absurdly - Absurdism - a branch of philosophy closely associated with Camus Minor footballing connection - Camus was widely known to be a goalkeeper in his day - I think WSC even made a t-shirt with this fact on back in the day The shirt features the quotation "All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football." The only man to have won the Nobel Prize for Literature AND played in a World Cup finals (in goal for Algeria). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Name the actor who appeared in just five films in his career, all of which were either nominated for the Best Film Oscar, or won the Best Film Oscar. A set of steak knives if you can name all five films... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
