Yeah ... that'll do! Top marks that man.

 

Could also have had Martha Reeves, Laura Brannigan or The Everly Brothers ... though technically theirs was (You got) The Power of Love.

[+jerryo]

The only one I know.

11) What was the registration number of Goldfinger's Rolls? AU 1

[+The Blorenges]

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

[+MartyBartfast]

"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.

[+Guanajuato]

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.

[+Simply Paul]

"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.)

I think you have been reading too many spy books, Mr Banned.

[+Simply Paul]

With the three known right answers, you can see which MartyB. got wrong, and that'll help you know what he got right... In a word, Bump.

Edit to add a few more (hopefully) correct answers

Edited October 30, 2008 by MartyBartfast

"I like a girl in a bikini. No concealed weapons, and only two... incorrect answers."

[+MartyBartfast]

"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

[+Simply Paul]

"What's Marty doing?"

"I think he's attempting re-entry with one wrong answer Sir."

[+Handsyhands]

I know the answer to Q6 is correct which means, using my amazing spidey powers, that Q4 must be 3.

 

L2K - OHMSS - CR

[+Simply Paul]

"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?

[+Handsyhands]

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!

[+MartyBartfast]

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.

[+Handsyhands]

"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?

Edited October 30, 2008 by Handsyhands

[+Simply Paul]

Pipkins (Got to number 6 in 1970) and, perhaps, Blue Mink?

(Guinness book of British Hit Singles - 15th edition)

[+Handsyhands]

you're halfway there.

[+Simply Paul]

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!

Edited November 1, 2008 by Simply Paul

[+Lost in Space]

Pipkins and the Sweet

[+Lost in Space]
