Staying withthe theme:-
Who shot JR ??

**martybartfast** · 11th May 2010, 12:14 PM

Never watched it so I can only remember 2 names from the series, I'll guess

his wife Sue Ellen.

**Palujia** · 11th May 2010, 09:44 PM

Negatory to that one

**The Crunchy Nutter** · 11th May 2010, 09:58 PM

Oh hang on - that was The Simpsons...

It was Sue Ellen's sister but I can't remember her name...

I guess that rules out Cliff Barnes then (the only other name I can remember).

**DrDick&Vick** · 12th May 2010, 06:14 PM

**DrDick&Vick** · 13th May 2010, 09:39 AM

Ok let's keep it entertainment based

In the film Airport, what is the name of the airport?

**Palujia** · 13th May 2010, 10:08 PM

It was supposed to be in Chicago - so it should be

O'Hare International ??

**DrDick&Vick** · 14th May 2010, 10:33 AM

They didn't use the actual name but a fictional one which is the one that is needed

**Palujia** · 16th May 2010, 10:23 PM

Stuck on this one - I admit to looking at the secondhand videos on the market in Witney on Saturday - but no luck - no googling, so I thought if I just happened across a copy of the video !!! Beats me !!

cheers

**DrDick&Vick** · 20th May 2010, 06:54 PM

Chicago is the right area and the fictional airport was named after a dead president.

**Palujia** · 21st May 2010, 04:51 AM

Would he be the one with the memorial ? Lincoln perhaps (guess ???)

**DrDick&Vick** · 23rd May 2010, 06:40 PM

Lincoln International is spot on.
Over to you

**Palujia** · 23rd May 2010, 09:11 PM

**Palujia** · 24th May 2010, 10:39 PM

**Just Roger** · 26th May 2010, 07:44 AM

Woof oops- I mean DING

**Palujia** · 26th May 2010, 04:56 PM

Who was a friend of Van Goch and was famous for his paintings of Polynesian ladies ?

I was too young to remember but I would be surprised if there wasn't an outcry in this country as AFAIK there were no plans for her return, which would have little effect on the Russians now and, at that time, even less.

Was it Gaugin ? (not sure of the spelling).

**DrDick&Vick** · 26th May 2010, 09:39 PM

my missus reckons that is more or less right

**Mrs Blorenge** · 26th May 2010, 09:48 PM

BIG BUMP for Marty

**martybartfast** · 1st June 2010, 02:34 PM

Oops,

So given the big hint from Dr Vick.

What shape and colour was Mr Bump?

**DrDick&Vick** · 1st June 2010, 08:00 PM

I know he is not RED
He might be GREEN
But in reality I am not sure

**Palujia** · 7th June 2010, 10:58 PM

That was a cunning reply I think he may be this coloured but I seem to remember white bandages on a sort of "egg" shape

**martybartfast** · 8th June 2010, 05:49 AM

DING

He was round, and blue with white bandages.

**Palujia** · 8th June 2010, 01:55 PM

Near enough then !! But digging in loft and finding old books I could swear he was more egg shaped than round !!. However - on the subject of books. Who writes about Kay Scarpetta ?

**DrDick&Vick** · 8th June 2010, 03:35 PM

as I am reading 'Body Farm' at the moment I shall refrain from answering, but if it is unanswered when I finsih the book I will answer then

**DrDick&Vick** · 9th June 2010, 10:36 PM

OK book finished and it was written by Patricia Cornwell

**Palujia** · 9th June 2010, 10:38 PM

RING A DING !!

**DrDick&Vick** · 9th June 2010, 10:40 PM

OK continuing with fiction, who writes about Hieronymus Bosch?

**Palujia** · 11th June 2010, 01:08 AM

Michael Connelly writes about Harry Bosch I think (tried lone coyote but didn't get too far) prefer Grisham or Cornwell !

**DrDick&Vick** · 11th June 2010, 09:17 AM

DING

**Palujia** · 23rd June 2010, 01:59 AM

PS - One of my favourite books - a good straight forward moral tale - an honest man facing, and overcoming life's challenges for unselfish reasons. An unfashionable stance in this materialistic age !!

**DrDick&Vick** · 23rd June 2010, 07:16 PM
