Nediam Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Rusty Reagan .....? You've already got the Ding! Ha Haaaar (in the style of Alan Partridge!) One I know I hope.... Is the answer Reagan (am going through old videos to get full name) Carlos Good film..... DING!!! - it was indeed Rusty Reagan. When a man walks into a forum with the correct answer, you know its time for another question. But then with the sky as blue as a blonde's eyes, and the view clean open to the islands its time for this shamus to kick back his chair and go out in search of some good tupperware. Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Never! Ok, I'm in Spain, but every direction I look I can see France. This doesn't involve mirrors, cameras, optical trickery of any sort, a Spanish Embassy or anything allegorical. By France I mean the country, not a painting, or a person named France who is always standing in front of me. So what's that all about eh? Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 A guess: There's a place in France called Espagne? (In a similar way, I could stand in Sheffield and see Cornwall all around me.) MrsB Link to comment

+The Blorenges Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Take your pick Oh... so there's actually 10 of them . I didn't know that, and didn't bother to check after putting my answer up. However, I suspect that Simply Paul is after a more devious answer because mine was a rather obvious solution. MrsB Link to comment
+2202 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I was thinking something like Cueta being surrounded by Algeria (once a department of France) but infact its surrounded by Morocco and the sea, so thats wrong. But the idea is correct. I now know the answer, and its amazing that places like these still exist. Its worse than Gibraltar! Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 2202 is on the right track, but what's the name of the enclave? Clever thinking from Mrs. B. and Edgemaster though - I should have said 'By Spain I mean the country' as well as 'By France I mean the country' Link to comment
+2202 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hard one this SP although some may have been there, or passed by on their holidays. Its a bit like cold war times with West Berlin (being part of West Germany) in the middle of East Germany. Although that is a long drive unlike this little one. Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 A clue: It's a town. If it were a village, it'd be French. Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 A clue: It's a town. If it were a village, it'd be French. Are we allowed to use online mapping ? If so I think I've got it. Link to comment
+The Forester Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 There's a cache at one of these oddities. This one is an Omani enclave located well within the UAE. Llivia is a little bit like that, except it's right on the Spanish border and in about 180° of the panorama I suspect that you'd see Spain from there. Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) I'd have allowed online mapping in this case, but not Google or other search engines. Given that The Forester stepped in with the right answer, Llivia, it's hard to know who should get the ding, but on the basis that I like MartyBartfast's name, and for that reason alone, he can have the ding - so long as it was Llivia he was thinking of. From the church tower in Llivia, everyway you look you can see France. If you look up a bit, you can also see Spain to the south and west. All very Grand Fenwick Edit to add a missing L Edited March 26, 2007 by Simply Paul Link to comment

From the church tower in Llivia, everyway you look you can see France. If you look up a bit, you can also see Spain to the south and west. All very Grand Fenwick Yes I was thinking of Llivia honest, I originally was thinking it might be something to do with Andorra and as I was zooming in I spotted Llivia nearby. So my question, which I thought of coming into Waterloo on the train this morning: What's the angular separation (in degrees) between the pods on the London Eye? Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Complete guess here, I know there are 32 pods so 360/32 = 11.25 degrees. Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Complete guess here, I know there are 32 pods so 360/32 = 11.25 degrees. Well that's what I reckon too so here's your DING Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 As many of you know GeoDog is a Registered Assistance Dog, and it means he can come with me almost anywhere. Can you name the only two of the transatlantic carriers who will allow assistance dogs (or service dogs as the Americans call them) in the passenger cabin on transatlantic flights? The ding goes to the first person who names both airlines. Link to comment

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 British Airways and Virgin Atlantic? DING to Nediam. Yes, that's exactly correct, currently, the only airlines that will allow Registered Assistance Dogs (or Service Dogs) in the cabin on transatlantic flights to and from the UK are British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. Of course there are very strict and specific rules, but they are the ony two. Link to comment

Nediam Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 OK next one.... Connection Round Answer the four questions and then get the connection Who got frozen in a space shuttle in 1987 and got revived in the 25th Century? Who wrote the novel "Stark"? Which two brothers were the traditional founders of Rome? Which golfer sank the winning put in the 1985 Ryder Cup, to return the trophy to Europe for the first time in over 25 years? The connection is?............... Ding to whoever gets the connection - even if the other questions haven't been answered. Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Well I knew 2 answers and Dad has offered an answer for a third, however, I can't see any connection between them yet! Link to comment
