+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think he also drank Gin Martinis but not at any great frequency, is the preferred drink Champagne? Quote Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted October 10, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted October 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+ZoomLens Posted October 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+kennamatic Posted October 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment

+ZoomLens Posted October 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+cakemaker Posted October 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+JackieC Posted October 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment

+chizu Posted October 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment

+kennamatic Posted October 12, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment
+Vodor and Scorsby Posted October 12, 2007 Share 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.
