And if so do they want another one?

A very varied group of questions, with some cryptics & some really obscure ones :lol:

[Vam]

Don't remember them  

But they sound good fun, yes please!

.... as long as you can't cheat by using search engines

Number six is nice and easy, trying to work out the others without resorting to the net, for now anyway :)

[dracula]

Number 10...the name is also a song for O.M.D.

[Andy the Landy]

:shock: Think I'd better stick to the kids version of Trivial Pursuit :D

[datalas]

considering the likely content of most peoples christmas sockings this year... question 6 could well read "who did isilidirs hair" and still get a fair response :)

and as for number 10, guess who's got an OMD track stuck in his head now :(

[Vam]

1. 1854

2. Mr and Mrs Wayne   Charles and Cythia?

Well done, you've alll done very well :D
My other option on the Musical Aircraft was 'Nimrod' (Variations)

The time for Hiroshima was 08:15, as there's an excellent (but thought-provoking) book telling the story of a few survivors, simply called 'Hiroshima' by John Hersey

The Adam West film I was thinking of was 'Hooper' (where Burt Reynolds as Sonny Hooper) doubles  for Adam - who is referred to in the film as Mr West (& the closing credits state he plays himself)


Isildurs heir. Tricky one, in the film Aragorn is referred to by Legolas as his heir ('Fellowship', at the council at Riverndell)

[Bush Tucker Man]

Anyone want another one???

[Andy the Landy]

Go on then - but I'll still be numb from the neck up :shock:

[Bush Tucker Man]

Sorry I was rushed for the answers.

1. Victoria Cross was inagurated in 1856 by (obviously) Queen Victoria with the metal from a captured cannon.

2. Bruce Waynes parents were (Dr) Thomas & Martha

3. Robin Williams does indeed support (Tour de France star) Lance Armstrongs 'Ride For The Roses' Cancer research/support charity.

4. Yes, a "69 Chevvy with a 396. Fuellie Heads & Hirst on the floor"

5. That great man 'MLK', could easily have been the first black President

6. In the film doesn't Boromir say "This Is Isildurs Heir?, A Ranger!?"

7. A Cadillac.

8. See above

9. See above (or if American a Valkyrie?)

10. See above

One to consider;
Which band had a final clearance sale in the early '90's, including an Antipodean song??
