Okay...so,I think most of you know the war film"The Great Escape"...it's on the telly every Christmas I can remember when I was a kid.In the film all the P.O.W's have certain skills or character traits like forger or scrounger.The question I have for you is what character best sums you up in terms of skills and personalty.Be honest guys we can't all be Steve McQueen.

.Steve McQueen... Capt. Hilts "The Cooler King"

James Garner... Flight Lt. Hendley "The Scrounger"

Richard Attenborough... Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett "Big X"

James Donald... Group Capt. Ramsey "The SBO"

Charles Bronson... Flight Lt. Danny Velinski "The Tunnel King"

Donald Pleasence... Flight Lt. Colin Blythe "The Forger"

James Coburn... Flying Officer Louis Sedgwick "The Manufacturer"

David McCallum... Lt. Cmdr.Eric Ashley-Pitt "Dispersal"

:biggrin: I would be John Leyton, the tunneler. Being a builder in mainly groundwork, I always say the story of my life is digging holes and filling them up again..
Great film..

I would say a little bit of each, i like to be a jack of all trades, but if it was 1 probably James Garner the scrounger, im pretty good at foraging up things and finding things or knowing where to get things, plus he was a cool dude lol :cool::finga:
