Find The Testers

[ProDave]

Note to self.

I must not read questions Too literally.

I was working on "Dylan Thomas" but discounted him as being a POET not an AUTHOR.

Trick question?

Or am I a bad looser?

 

[Sidewinder]

He was a poet & an author PD.

Sore looser methinks!

Well I went wrong with King Harold II the one that supposedly got the arrow in his eye spent an age trying to find what the marker at the place he fell was called. It did take me a while to get the right king. I know a lot about the battle of Hastings now.

Can you put me out of my misery and post all the stages to arriving at that answer please?

there you go Dave.

Im kinda glad that I only knew one Welsh author,

 

[batty]

I knew none of it all searched through the internet.

Well i had a moment of inspiration and started in the middle, to,save time!

in 1999 Gerry Rafferty had a song called Baker Street from the album of the same name.  Track 11 was called " bring it all home "

Mr Rafferty was NOT related, as far as i can tell, related to William the Conqueror NOR was he in any way responsible for a Royal death.

so, in summary, what a waste of fecking time my cunning plan was

i got it right in the end though

I was going to start with the beatles " abbey road"............

But then decided it was probably better to start at the beginning  ]

 

[steptoe]

I now know that Roald Dahll was Welsh,!

I seem to recall somewhere in english lit many years ago being taught that Bob Dylan took inspiration from his namesake, the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas,

thats where I started, although all my reasons for doing so may have been wrong,

and my memory sometimes makes things up,

it turned out right, 

BTW

3 fecking hours I spent on it,!  headbang

I got there (well nearly) in 10 minutes, so was the first, but very graciously refused the meter as I did not get all the answers right, but still got to the Rufus Stone.
