    The quicksand of time question is there an early Beatles song were John Lennon sings the line "I'll get by as long as I have you" not to the standard classic as sung by every crooner under the sun but to a different tune, trying to track it down and failed so far. Rooch, anybody ?.

    How many times did Ward Bond put those wagons in a circle while hundreds of Indians fired arrows and spears at them, and where do they hide behind a spoke on the wagon wheel<doh>

    It is also on Dartmoor, Basil Rathbone found some in Hound of the Baskervilles. Pretty nasty affair that!

    a 'regular' soldier would fall down stone dead with an arrow in the shoulder, the 'hero' would get hit several times yet be there at the end with his arm in a sling.

    I seem to recall it in the Tarzan TV series and possibly on one of the Gerry Anderson shows maybe Thunderbirds.

    Not quite "quick sand" but there was a part of 'Hetton Bogs' that had an area where a young lad could end up covered head to foot in foul smelling mud
