"The Windmills of your Mind" is the answer, what is the question?


Since people are posting riddles and cryptic thingies I thought I'd post one too.

Can you crack it?

reply

What drives you?

reply

A cryptic response from Croft!

We're off to a good start.

But no. Sorry. Try again.

reply

What makes someone to reach the boundaries of human experience,to face the unknown?

reply

Are you asking me a question here Croft or trying to supply an answer to the OP?

If it is the latter then you are wrong, if it is the former then you are correct.

reply

Were would the suspense be otherwise

reply

When there is silence in the Carpathians Croft.

reply

I haven't the foggiest

reply

Who's Dusty Springfield?

reply

Not correct Culburn, but I like your pluck!

reply

I had a feeling it wasn't, but, could not resist.

You're a-okay in my book, 8.

reply

The question is: Why is Don Quixote in my head?

reply

It's so close I'd almost say yes to that Spanners.

Could you elaborate and we'll see if you can get it spot on?

reply

You mean make it more specific? Not sure what to elaborate on here without killing the humor *shrugs*

reply

If you feel specificity is what is required then fire away with that old boy!

reply

I feel no requirements other than going back to sleep!

reply

Fair enough.

Still no dice on the OP though.

Night night!

Was Windmills In Your Mind sung by Noel Harrison in the Getaway?

reply

His was used in The Thomas Crown Affair but that's not the answer Daddyo.

reply

Which song was completely ruined by Sting in the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair?

reply

That is a true but not to the question asked in the OP Stratego!

reply

How do you survive a Japanese game show?

reply

I usuarry raff a rot.

But nope, not the question to the OP answer TwinA.

reply

"The Windmills of your Mind" don't mean anything, so how could there be a question, other than who wrote these stupid words?

reply

That's very close Yawkee, very close indeed!

reply

Where are the circles that you find?

reply

But they're never end or beginning, like a wheel within a wheel...

reply

It sounds like pataphysics

reply

The only ending then is our imaginations if that were the case Dazed!

reply

For which song did Michel Legrand win an Oscar?

reply

That's not it.

reply

It is a correct answer though😉

reply

Indeed it is a correct statement, but not the answer to the question posed in the OP Dazed 😉

reply

Where does Windy Miller live?

reply

Colly's Mill, near the village of Camberwick Green, Trumptonshire.

What's that got to do with the price of Lurpak?

reply

I'm not a fan of Lurpak, it is suspiciously white. Yellow salty butter is the best...but wait I digress.

I just have to get this off my chest
"Pugh,Pugh,Barney McGrew,Cuthbert,Dibble and Grubb"

I wonder why Barney McGrew got the first name treatment?

reply

You know what Barney can mean though Dazed right?

He earned that respect down the pub on a Friday when he wasn't on duty, there's no taking that away from him.

Kerrygold is better than Lurpak, but I don't think it was out when Trumpton was on.

reply

Are you going to tell us the answer?

reply

When someone guesses it Dazed I'll tell them that they are correct.

It's a much easier riddle than most are thinking is all I can say.

reply

Um..is it your way of saying that you're changing your underpants again and getting a new name?

reply

Not quite yet Dazed.

But I did have a chuckle at your response.

reply

There is a rumour that he_can't is on filmboards by the way.

reply

You don't think he is here also Dazed?

That man is a genius, he knows exactly how to rile people up and is in no rush to do so.

I think here and filmboards have much more in common than many might think.

reply

I have no idea, is he ?

A lot of the IMDb replacement boards seemed to have ended up with a lot of the chatter being based on a GD type board, any theories as to why?

reply

There's not enough of a pinnacle for people to troll freely upon Dazed.

Give MC, or somewhere else, enough time to have a proper community which seek to discuss films and TV properly and the trolls will all occasionally decant to that place to take advantage of the trustworthy.

As for whether or not He_Cant is about - he's keeping himself to the shadows if he is. As I said though, he's in no rush.
