  1. Welcome aboard. I was wondering, did they dub Dukes in Greece or was it subtitled. I know the French wrote new words to the theme tune, and the Italians wrote an entirely new theme - how about the Greeks?.
  2. Well done BL and texasdaisy, that was obviously an easy one . Q. Staying with 'The Big Heist', near the end, Bo pretends to be Neil Bishop so he can return the money to Boss. When he's completed his part he calls Daisy on the CB, but what are their temporary CB handles?.
  3. Country doesn't have the same following this side of 'The Pond'. We have no CMT, and it certainly wasn't 'hip' to be into Country when I grew up. Having said that, I've always had a wide-ranging and eclectic taste in music, and tend to buy what I like, no matter what others think. When I hit my 30s I had to admit that some of my favorite movies and TV shows had Country soundtracks, and I liked them. For those of you who've seen 'Every Which Way But Loose', you'll remember that Clint Eastwood tries chatting up a sociology major at The Palamino who thinks that the Country-Western mentality is 'somewhere between moron and dull-normal' - makes me laugh every time - then again Clint does put some false teeth in her food. The great soundtrack to that movie contains songs by artists like Charlie Rich, Mel Tillis (got to like a man who recorded 'I got the Hoss' ) and Eddie Rabbitt. I guess I'm more old school than most of y'all, listening to artists like those above, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Jerry Reed etc. I'm always open to new artists, so reading other people's favorites just gives me something else to try. Looks like I'd better check out Toby Keith - I've only got 3 tracks by him at present.
  4. Everyone got that one - obviously chastity belts don't make any cotton-pickin' difference. Q. In 'The Big Heist', what was the name of the revenuer called in by the Dukes to relieve Boss of his ill-gotten liquor money?.
  5. Fall at Your Feet - Crowded House
  6. Thanks Mufn, I knew there must be a way I could use my laptop to waste hours of the day . I liked to upgrade descriptions, especially the Darwin Award/JATO one. If anyone is unfamiliar with this urban legend, you can read about it here: Jet Assisted Take-Off My longest jump so far is just over 36 miles, but I've only been playing it constantly .
  7. It's the only plausible explanation .
  8. GLG and MaryAnne were right there. Daisy lit the cannon with a flaming big torch, or should that be a big flaming torch . Q. While we're on 'Luke's Love Story', Luke's views on women led Amy to suggest that in Hazzard they probably put chastity belts on women, bind their feet, and make them shuffle ten paces behind. What reason did Luke give for no longer binding their feet?.
  9. It is both an honor and a privilege to win the accolade of 'Fan of the Month'. Thanks to all the people who have made me feel so welcome since joining, and to the moderators for maintaining this marvelous site. I should also like to thank the global banking community whose financial mismanagement resulted in a reduction in my working hours, thereby giving me more time to spend here . The only downside of being a member is that I've started spelling words the US way (see honor and marvelous in this post alone!), but I'm sure I'll get over it. Go raibh míle maith agat (thank you very much in Irish).
  10. (GLG - I think that's the second time this week that we posted at exactly the same time - your's appears later, so I follow that .)
  11. Never mind MaryAnne, we are strong, no one can tell we're wrong .
  12. Very sad. The news over here has been so concentrated on the passing of Tony Curtis that I hadn't heard about Stephen J Cannell. I tried to find an interview with him that appeared on a 2005 Channel 4 show called 'Bring Back The A-Team' - it was all on YouTube, but seems to have been deleted. Most of the interview is here: Skip to about 2:30. WARNING - contains some mild bad language, and worse in the comments - why can't people comment on YouTube politely?. If anyone's interested, the whole show is available in 4 parts at the link below - Stephen's part is split over the end of part 3/start of part 4: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2r37s_bring-back-the-a-team-1-4_fun Click on the Partie/Part 2 under the video to see the next part.
  13. Kiss This Thing Goodbye - Del Amitri
  14. OK, seeing as you and BL got it right, I'll spring for cookies and a buttermilk at the Boars Nest. Q. In 'Luke's Love Story', how is the obstacle race started?.
