+Simply Paul Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Was it anything to do with Black Dahlia, which was in LA, I think - ergo, California? Quote
+civilised Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Was it anything to do with Black Dahlia, which was in LA, I think - ergo, California? The murder didn't become famous until Capote wrote about it - it wasn't the Black Dahlia and not in California - sorry. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 In that case I think the word Blood is in the title, but that's all I've got! Quote
+Clue-72 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure it was "In Cold Blood" and I have a feeling it was somewhere rural, so I'll take another guess and go for Kansas. Quote
+civilised Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 I'm pretty sure it was "In Cold Blood" and I have a feeling it was somewhere rural, so I'll take another guess and go for Kansas. Right on all counts - DING! Quote
+Clue-72 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Lucky guess! Thanks for the DING. Who were: John "Stumpy" Pepys, Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs, Peter "James" Bond, Mick Shrimpton and Joe "Mama" Besser? Quote
+Clue-72 Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 Close, but not quite enough information to get the ding. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted December 8, 2013 Author Posted December 8, 2013 Fictional people in Spinal Tap when they died? Victims of the Curse of Spinal Tap, if you like? Quote
+Clue-72 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 And the DING! goes to Beach Hut for remembering that they were all indeed drummers with Spinal Tap before they each met a tragic end. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 And the DING! goes to Beach Hut for remembering that they were all indeed drummers with Spinal Tap before they each met a tragic end. Thanks for the Ding although SP deserves some of the credit. Here's my question - what's the connection between Spinal Tap and the House of Lords? Quote

+Simply Paul Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 One I know. One of the members (Guest?) is also a Lord. He's married to Jamie Lee-Curtis, which makes for some fun photos of him in Erim robes and she in a short tight black dress and killer heels to match the killer legs. Quote

He's married to Jamie Lee-Curtis, which makes for some fun photos of him in Erim robes and she in a short tight black dress and killer heels to match the killer legs. That's the DING! Christopher Guest is actually the 5th Baron Haden-Guest through his British father. He inherited the family barony and was a member of the House of Lords, although no longer, following the abolition of hereditary peers. Over to Paul. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted December 14, 2013 Author Posted December 14, 2013 Thanks for that. Speaking of long legs, in which city would you find a cache attached to a giraffe - that country's most 'favorited' cache? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Kenya isn't a city, but even if it were, you're in the wrong continent I'm afraid Quote
Pajaholic Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 ISTR something about a cache in a Lego giraffe. I'd need to Google to get the name of the city, but I'll guess it's whichever city "Legoland" is in Denmark! Quote
+Simply Paul Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 Closer, but still no cigar. You're right about it being a Lego giraffe though Quote
+Pharisee Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Closer, but still no cigar. You're right about it being a Lego™ giraffe though Hang about... When I was in Berlin in July, I seem to remember walking past some Lego animals. Can't remember if there was a giraffe, though, and I didn't look for a cache there. In fact didn't look for many caches at all. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 Closer, but still no cigar. You're right about it being a Lego™ giraffe though Hang about... When I was in Berlin in July, I seem to remember walking past some Lego animals. Can't remember if there was a giraffe, though, and I didn't look for a cache there. In fact didn't look for many caches at all.You should have paused at the giraffe in Berlin -at the Sony Centre, Potsdamer Platz- as that's where Germany's most favoured (aka 'favorited' [sic]) cache is. A nano. Ah, the irony Ding to you John. And a bonus Happy Christmas. In fact... Happy Quizmas, one an all! Quote
+Pharisee Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Thank you, Paul.... I did manage to find a couple of caches in Berlin. There were a couple close to the World Clock that come to mind. Anyway... on with the quiz... Sax Rohmer wrote the books. Christopher Lee played the villain in the movies. Nayland Smith was the 'good guy' What was the name of the actress that played the villain's daughter in the aforementioned movies? mwwaaahhhh........ The world will hear from me again!! Edited December 23, 2013 by Pharisee Quote
+Simply Paul Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 I'll take a guess at the Polish actress Ingrid Pitt Quote
+Pharisee Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I'll take a guess at the Polish actress Ingrid Pitt Nope...... Quote
+Pharisee Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 If it helps any, the villain was Fu Manchu Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 Seems we may need a clue. Is it a European/British actress, rather than an Asian one? Quote
+Pharisee Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 As Fu Manchu was 'Oriental'... It's a good bet that his daughter was too. You're looking for the name of a Chinese actress who was 'quite big' back in the day. She trained at RADA, starred in the West End musical... 'The World of Susie Wong' and was a 'Bond girl' in 'You Only Live Twice' and 'Casino Royale'. She also played 'Juicy Lucy' in 'The Virgin Soldiers'. Is that enough info. to be getting on with? Quote
+Pharisee Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Ok... I'm going away for a few days and won't be using the internet and as no-one (apart from Paul) seemed particularly bothered, I'll abandon this one. The answer was Tsai Chin. Somebody else can set a new question...... Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Oh course! Tsai Chin! It's obvious once you know... Sticking with Chins, Detective Chin Ho Kelly is from which book/play/tv prog/film/comic/other media? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 There was a Chin Ho in Hawaii Five 0 da da da da daaaa daaaaa da da da da daaaa Book him Danno. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 A Ding! for Mr Bartfast. Hawaii seems pretty appealing right now, for some reason... Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Bumping the thread - Marty, ask us anything or shall one of us ask something? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Under the 'You get a week to pose your question' rule, this is now open to anyone to jump in. And since I've been sitting on a good one for a while: Which film character said, "I have done... questionable things"? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Would that be from the film Blade Runner, the character Ray Battie (Rutger Hauer) Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Would that be from the film Blade Runner, the character Ray Battie (Rutger Hauer)From 1982, as set in November 2019. That's a high speed Ding for Martin and or Linda. But I bet it was Martin Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the ding, and you were right it was all Martin Can you name the computer, and the sci-fi series it was used in? Edited January 13, 2014 by martin&lindabryn Quote
+MTH Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I'm not sure about the spelling, but it looks like Oric from Blake's Seven Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I'm not sure about the spelling, but it looks like Oric from Blake's Seven That’s a ding for MTH Orac is indeed from the British science fiction television series Blake's 7. The voice of Orac was Peter Tuddenham, except in its initial episode where he was played by Derek Farr. Orac was supposedly a highly advanced supercomputer developed by the scientist Ensor.To me it looks more like an evil geocache Quote
+MTH Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks, but very generous since I got the name wrong! Sticking with computers, Tommy Flowers designed which early computer? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks, but very generous since I got the name wrong! Sticking with computers, Tommy Flowers designed which early computer? As you said in your answer you weren’t sure of the spelling As to you question, I recall that he was at Bletchley park along with Alan Turing and both worked on Colossus Quote
+MTH Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Colossus gets the Ding. Bletchley is really worth a visit, and there's a nice D5 puzzle cache to find. Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks for the ding Now, can you name the film and who played George Webber? Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 That would be 10. Dudley Moore was in it I think, so I'll go for him. Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 That would be 10. Dudley Moore was in it I think, so I'll go for him. DING DING over to you Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Thank you very much. Which other three people did Moore appear with in 'Beyond the Fringe'? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Peter Cook, Alan Bennett and a name that's on the tip of my tongue. Let me get back to you! Quote
