Yes however the majority of the British population have the common sense to see that this is an archaic piece of legislation that has no relevance in the modern day (In the same way as the one about shooting a Scotsman in York, as much fun as that sport may be :D ). That may have been the...

I believe that is is part of (or the whole) reason why the Grand Theft Auto franchise uses made up brands on the cars in game.

I'm going to say 'All the Time in the World' from 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' would be somewhere in the bottom 3. 'OHMSS' usually hangs out at the bottom of the rankings in terms of the films themselves, so that's my reasoning there. I would have put 'The Living Daylights' close to the...

And my source (IMDb) says you are correct. Well done for seeing through that one, I was half expecting some one come up with Roger Moore, who has made the most appearances as Commander Bond himself. Desmond Llewellyn First appeared as Q in 'From Russia With Love' (1963), and his last appearance...

I had one once where, upon arriving at the terminus, the guy said "Please remember to take all of you belongings with you. This includes coats, bags, children and elderly relatives. Any items left on the train can be collected tomorrow, for a small fee, from the local branch of Cash Converters."...

Thank you Gentlemen. To stay with the bond theme. Which actor has appeared in the most James Bond films?

I also went to a zoo......The only animal in it was a small dog.......it was a Shihtzu.

Commander James Bond (007). Aston Martin BMT 214A. Driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger, and Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye. This Aston has also been seen with Daniel Craig behind the wheel recently in Skyfall (where it was written off by an Augusta Westland EH-101 Merlin) Edit- Why did I have to...

CFB Goose Bay was the missing link. Officially the title of the exercise was Lone Ranger, but the crews dubbed them Western Rangers due to the direction of travel. As Warwick correctly states they were an exercise were mostly one but sometimes two aircraft were dispatched from their home base...

The usual place to start with any Steam game is to verify the integrity of the game cache.

Not quite. Western Rangers ventured a bit further West than that. Offut AFB in Nebraska was usually the final destination of a Western Ranger, and even had an RAF Maintenance Unit on site. I have in mind one other airfield that would have been visited on one of these trips.

Since it's been a while since the last post may I venture to post a question to avoid the thread disappearing into the void of page 2? Of course if there is an objection I'll relinqush the floor. In the RAF, which airfields would usually be visited on a Western Ranger?

In the past I have worked with may people for whom English is a second or third (or so on) language. What entertains me is trying to guess the nationality of the person who taught them English. It's usually easy to spot if the teacher was American or English by way of the type of language they...

Anything by Jefferson Airplane. Weird Al Yankovic - Another One Rides the Bus The Allman Brothers Band - Ramblin' Man The Vengaboys - We Like to Party (The Vengabus) Gerry and the Pacemakers - Ferry Across the Mersey Mystery Train - The King (Elvis)

The Kinks (1964) and The Who (1965) both did a song called 'Bald Headed Woman'. The Wind Chimes clue has thrown me a bit though, because that seems to refer to the Beach Boys song from 1967, which would steer me towards 'Shes Goin' Bald' which was on the same album as 'Wind Chimes' (Smiley Smile...

A little boy was walking through a cemetery with his Mother one afternoon. All of a sudden the little boy says: "Mummy, can two people be buried in the same grave?" "No sweetheart" Replies the Mother "Why do you ask?" "Because that headstone over there says 'Here lies John Smith. A politician...

It certainly was. Volvo used a version of their 850 estate, utilizing a 2.0l version of their 5 cylinder engine. They went back to an 850 saloon the following year, and on to an S40 in 1996. But for one glorious year, the old bus showed what it was made of. Start your engine sir.

What was unique (or certainly different) about Volvo's entry into the 1994 British Touring Car Championship?

Why do the Spanish Air Force issue heavy duty waterproofs to their pilots? Because the rain in Spain falls mainly on the planes. :lol: If someone would be so kind as to call me a taxi. I'll get my coat.

I think it depends on where you come from. For me it's scone as in stone. However when I asked the lady in my local bakery for one, she implied that they were no longer there. Regional variations exist in a lot of foods, if you want a real debate stand in any street in the UK with one of the...
