Cheers - I think you must be related to my dear sister-in-law. Just might have to light the blue touch paper ;)
Title: Fancy a quick one??
Post by: cheers on March 18, 2010, 23:47:22 PM: Ok H you want a clue to No 4. Its easy!! Scunner half got it because he said "Father Christmas" but the question was who was the character in the film??

Clue - Initials KK and a phrase from the film is "In God we trust"
Title: Fancy a quick one??
Post by: Highlander on March 19, 2010, 18:45:15 PM: Not Kris Kristofferson ;).

Have to own up now Cheers - I've been googling:(
Title: Fancy a quick one??
Post by: cheers on March 19, 2010, 19:40:39 PM: Mr "H" How on earth could you come up with Kris Kristofferson even when you Google? Did he ever have the alter ego Father Christmas? No. 4 by the way.

Here are some more clues:

No. 1 It was the year before the 1st manned mission to land on the moon. They recorded it on their way before they landed.

No. 5 It was a 1979 film about Vietnam War

No. 10 The ship was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, she was sold in 1888 for scrap.

Hope this helps!!

If I do another one?? I will make it easier or just make it about kids trivia that we remember!!
Title: Fancy a quick one??
Post by: badger on March 19, 2010, 20:38:56 PM: Surely Laff's knows the answer to no 10

She must have danced round it after a famous red's win :D

Here are some more clues:

No. 1 It was the year before the 1st manned mission to land on the moon. They recorded it on their way before they landed. OK Moon landing mid 1969, so year before perhaps, 1968

No. 5 It was a 1979 film about Vietnam War Apocalypse

No. 10 The ship was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, she was sold in 1888 for scrap.

Hope this helps!!

If I do another one?? I will make it easier or just make it about kids trivia that we remember!!
Title: Fancy a quick one??
Post by: cheers on March 19, 2010, 21:32:29 PM: Thought there was a touch of irony in the KK answer but you are still wrong because even after Googling you have not posted it!:D

No. 1 is correcxt 1968

No. 5 you can have it was Apocalypse NOW :D:D

Only 1 left everybody come on - Where is Laffa?
Title: Fancy a quick one??
Post by: Highlander on March 19, 2010, 22:18:58 PM: Don't think the lady will know.

Now if you'd asked which legend replaced and eclipsed another legend and scored 231 times for her beloved Reds, I think she might know that:D
Title: Fancy a quick one??
Post by: cheers on March 19, 2010, 23:02:02 PM: Come on! Even I saw him score the winner at Wembley against Bruges so I'm sure the Lady would know that one!!
