+The Blorenges Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 The only Bond trivia that I know: Ian Fleming chose James Bond's name from the author of an ornithology book. I think it was called "Birds of the West Indies". MrsB Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 "No Mr Bartfast, I expect you to score 5" SP, were you stroking a white cat when you wrote that? well I 'knew' 4, so looks like one of my guesses came off, and with jerryo's reply I should be able to make 6. Quote
+Guanajuato Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I caught the answer to 7 on the telly the other day (something with Joanna Lumley?) - it was the name of Flemming's house in Barbados. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 "jerryo, you return with the inevitability of an unloved season, and have one right." "Ah MrsB, I've been expecting you to get one right." "Guanajuato, don't touch that. It's my lunch, and you got one right." (And no MartyBartfast, I was pointing a laser at your crotch. It's a hobby.)

+MartyBartfast Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 "I like a girl in a bikini. No concealed weapons, and only two... incorrect answers." I'm not sure which two are wrong so another couple of guesses: 4) How many Bond films has Bond resigned in? 1 6) Ian Flemming's step-cousin had a major role in one film. Who is s/he? Christopher Lee Quote
+Simply Paul Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 "What's Marty doing?" "I think he's attempting re-entry with one wrong answer Sir." Quote
+Handsyhands Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I know the answer to Q6 is correct which means, using my amazing spidey powers, that Q4 must be 3. L2K - OHMSS - CR Quote
+Simply Paul Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 "What do you know about Handsyhands, Mr Bond?" "I try to keep them at arm's length, even with one right answer" Now, who deserves the ding? Quote
+Handsyhands Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I would like to defend myself by pointing out that whilst Mr Marty was running around firing off wild shots in the dark, I used stealth and cunning to creep up unobserved and make one single killing shot! Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Well I did single handedly take out 8 of the enemy, but I can't be hanging round here playing games, I've got an outrageously gorgeous foreign agent waiting for me upstairs Handyshands can think up the next one. Quote
+Handsyhands Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) "You see, sir. By pulling out this button, it turns the watch into a hyper-intensified magnetic field. Powerful enough to even deflect the path of a bullet - at long range, or so Q claims... " Thankyou Mr Bartfast, for being so gracious, a true sign of a secret agent if ever I saw one. Time for a subject change and in view of the fact that I didn't officially receive one ... who had a top 10 hit with "Gimmie Dat Ding" and which group did they share an LP with?

+Simply Paul Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Pipkins (Got to number 6 in 1970) and, perhaps, Blue Mink? (Guinness book of British Hit Singles - 15th edition) Quote
+Simply Paul Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) I think a clue might be needed. It's not something you'll be able to guess if you don't know, and I don't see people who know rushing to reply... Any chance of a little help? I take it all back!

+Handsyhands Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 No Clue ... No Need! DING I found this in the loft a few weeks ago, along with Ernie, the fastest milkman in the west, the single that is, not the actual Ernie. over to LiS Quote

+Team Sieni Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 I may not be around for a bit, so if I don't reappear, whoever gets this doesn't need to wait for the ding. Name the metabisturbile drug against which groups such as "Free the UK from Drugs" and "Ban On Metabisturbile Drugs" campaigned. Quote

+Lost in Space Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Ooooh, thank you. In which television programme (which ran from the late 80's - early 90's) did the main character briefly join a band called 'The Electric Shoes'? Anything to do with Tooting? Quote
