+ZoomLens Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 G&T....wild guess Good wild guess but nope. Don't forget my Whiskey suggestion! Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 I think he also drank Gin Martinis but not at any great frequency, is the preferred drink Champagne? Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Don't forget my Whiskey suggestion! Bond would never drink anything as vulgar as Whiskey. But Scotch Whisky, that's a different matter. That's his favourite. alex. Edited October 10, 2007 by SlytherinAlex Quote
+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I read this in the QI book - it's Whiskey. DING HIC!. Close enough. Out of the 317 drinks consumed he drinks 101 whiskys (among them 58 bourbon's, 38 Scotch's), 35 sake's, 30 champagne, 19 Vodka Martini's and almost as many Gin Martini's! Quote
+ZoomLens Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Ok then. Still on a Bond theme: James Bond is half Scottish. What nationality is the other half? Sorry about the phrasing - for clarity, I'm not looking for the nationality of the woman he married!! Quote
+kennamatic Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 James Bond is half Scottish. What nationality is the other half? I'll guess at Indian. His father was probably something to do with the Raj. Quote

+ZoomLens Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Swiss? DING DING DING DING! James Bond's parents are Andrew Bond, a Scotsman, and Monique Delacroix, from Canton de Vaud, Switzerland. Their nationalities were established in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Fleming emphasized Bond's Scottish heritage in admiration of Sean Connery's cinematic portrayal, whereas Bond's mother is named after a Swiss fiancée of Fleming's. Well done Lorna! I'm surprised it took that long. Over to you. Edited October 11, 2007 by ZoomLens Quote
+cakemaker Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Crikes- I'm a newbie at this....it'll have to be a question with a cake/ music theme..... I'm thinking Swiss roll type cake and a run of notes. Which word applies to both? Quote
+JackieC Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 The only swiss roll type cake I can think of is a ROULADE, don't know if its a muisical term though. Quote
+cakemaker Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 The only swiss roll type cake I can think of is a ROULADE, don't know if its a muisical term though. Blimey, that was quick! DING DING DING I think a proper dessert roulade is flourless and butterless. It can also be savoury. In music it's a run of notes sung on one syllable. Well done JackieC Quote
+JackieC Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Finally! All those Nigella episodes the other half makes me watch has finally paid off!! OK, name the film from the quote (6 different films).

+JackieC Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I wondered why it sounded familiar when I was picking quotes! I'll go for the obvious two, Dennis the Menace and Desperate Dan. Quote

Biffo the Bear was one I think Korky the cat was the other Edit to add I didn't see Ecky's post until after I'd added this ! Edited October 11, 2007 by MartyBartfast Quote
+chizu Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Korky the Cat is corect for the Dandy but Biffo wasn't on the front of the first Beano (he was only on the cover from 1948). Ding goes to who gets the name of the character before Biffo. Quote
+keehotee Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Just googled the answer - NEVER would have guessed that one....! Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Just googled the answer - NEVER would have guessed that one....! I did see this on Comic Britannia the other week, but couldn't remember the character, so I gave up trying to remember (it was making my brain hurt) and googled for it too. Quote
+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Just googled the answer - NEVER would have guessed that one....! Googled it.......never heard of it! Quote
+jerryo Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Just googled the answer - NEVER would have guessed that one....! Googled it.......never heard of it! Ditto that. This could take a while. Quote
+kennamatic Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 This is annoying because I can sort of picture it. I know it has an ostrich in it so i'll guess at Ozzie the Ostrich. They liked their alliterative titles. Quote

They liked their alliterative titles. Ozzie the ostrich was an old black and white cartoon character wasnt it? Eggo was the name of the beano ostrich. But Im sure there was another strip on the front before that. Quote

Biffo didn't grace the cover until 1948 and Dennis the Menace didn't even appear in the Beano at all until the early 1950s. Quote
+Vodor and Scorsby Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Wow, I thought there was one before that. Even dad reckoned there was LOL nvm heres an easy one.... What film was shot under the name 'Blue Harvest' so that suppliers wouldnt hike up their prices and to try and stop people invading the film sets? I reckon about 10 nano seconds for a ding here.
