Write question proper English in, then people understand you might.

jjf2003: first you be damn sure zat ze guy asking ze question is english. if not so, think about writing your questions in dutch or french or kisuaheli or whichever languache you know least. you arrogant native engish speakers really think its some kind of international law to be fluent in that ghastly language of yours, aren't you? sorry, but THAT really p*sses me off

[smorodina]

Absolutely, or the questioner could be deaf as the syntax is quite different. The answer is Tula or Caroline Cossey who debuted in 'For Your Eyes Only'.

[tartanwiz]

Your apology is accepted, thekraut. Smorodina - deafness affecting written English - ha ha, good joke.

[bernardo]

Tartanwiz - pardon me for being accurate but Smorodina was making a serious point which was not intended to be a "good joke" and which therefore does not warrant a "ha ha" response. BSL does indeed have a different grammatical structure from English. It is possible that the questionner may have been a BSL user with English only as a second language.

I will not insult your intelligence by explaining what "BSL" stands for.

[smorodina]

Thanks bernado. There's a guy who posts at http://www.the-mausoleum-club.org.uk/ who is deaf and his syntax resembles the question above. Perhaps tartanwiz could pop over there for some enlightenment.

[tartanwiz]

No offence meant! Rubyheidi - if you are deaf, or foreign (i.e. a non-English speaker) - sorry, right? I'm not a bad bloke.

Presumably, rubyheidi can read so the text has only to be copied from GBQ 123 q40?

As Smorodina said, it's Barry Kenneth Cossey, aka Caroline or Tula, in the 1981 film For Your Eyes Only.
