Spot on with Henry Ford. Mr Parry was “Hubert” to his friends (tough one to guess!). And my first was alluding to Han Solo, i.e. Harrison Ford (supposedly when Leia says “I love you, Han” he was scripted to say “I love you too” but instead improvised with “I know”. But I rate Indiana Jones as marginally better-known, given the number of films and the title role). DQ1: Alive? DQ2: Male? IQ1: Did you infuriate one of your best friends by ‘consorting with the enemy’ during an important contest another mutual friend was taking part in, before eventually getting together with your friend right at the very end? IQ2: Did you defeat an enemy from the north of your kingdom, only to immediately march the length of the land with your army to be defeated by another enemy from the south? IQ3: Were you the defeated northern king in IQ2? ---
