The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....
sam hall, the search on your name came up with several different results, a diver, a politician, a paid mercenary, and a parable about an old folk song, that Cash even sang.
I don't even have to guess, which sam hall you were refering to, now do I?
These are the only details he gives about locations:

I don't know that one, hold on
here we go;
Sam Hall” is an old English folk song. Prior to the mid 19th century it was called “Jack Hall”, after an infamous English thief, who was hanged in 1707 at Tyburn. Jack Hall’s parents sold him as a climbing boy for one guinea, which is why most versions of the song identify Sam or Jack Hall as a chimney sweep. There are many versions of the song that have been collected at different periods. Comic Minstrel C.W. Ross adapted one in the 1850s, and changed the name from “Jack Hall” to “Sam Hall”. The song also appears to have been adapted to fit the region it was sung in; some versions refer to Sam Hall being hung at Tyburn, some at Cootehill. Also it is unclear what, if any, uncouth language was original to the song. Various versions have Sam Hall call his executionors “muckers”, “****ers”, “buggers”, “muggers”, or “bastards”.
To add to the confusion, the song is associated with the folk song “Captain Kidd”, aka “Robert Kidd”, as William Kidd was executed in the same year. The songs have similar metre and style, and it is unknown which came first.
The song, performed by Terry Gilkyson, was the main musical theme of the 1956 film Star in the Dust directed by Charles Hall, with John Agar, Mamie van Doren and Charles Boone as Sam Hall in the main roles. Poul Anderson's 1953 novelette "Sam Hall" features a disgruntled bureaucrat that creates fake records about a rebel named Sam Hall (after the song) that fights against the totalitarian government.
