Do you know I cant believe I got that right thanks John feel good about that, didnt think I would come close, just tried the brain cells what did Christine use I wonder???

Ok Pat and Christine - you are both doing well Who plays M in James Bond? - clue she is a British Dame Who plays the mad-cap gadget wizard? - clue Fawlty Towers Who was Mrs Bond? (this goes back a few years) - clue Steeds early sidekick

Oh Pat c'mon EVERYONE knows who has played Bond...I'm not THAT thick that I'd need to google that!! LOL

Judi Dench?

Just wondering...have you lot done a test...what is your IQ? I only got 120 for test the nation. :-) I bet you've all got BIG IQs...lol

John Cleese

John Cleese, Judith whatsit, whose daughter is up on a drinks drive charge and Dianna Rigg.

137 Lucia...don't know how accurate they are though

Strange but true department in Casino Royale a host of British screen who's who played Bond - David Niven was one I'll need to do some digging as who the others were.

Well thank you Chrisitine for making me feel clever NOT!!! Here do they have Bairns in totteridge lane? is that in Scotland where Fred comes from then? never knew that? and is that a celtic word or just slang???

Well Christine, I know that there are four parts of intelligence but forgot what they are. Anyway IQ tests don't measure all of these parts so they are inaccurate..that's all I know about it. Lucia :-)

Where did you get that Christine? They say people like us who have all these facts thingys are not necessarily brainy??? yes I think they meant me there lol. Oh thats good Im alright then?.

Pat I was just PMSL at Freds post...true you have to watch what they say in front of the bairns They say Bairns in Newcastle too...Don't in Glasgow though. Glasgow say the same as Northern Ireland Weans (pronounced wains)!!

I think I can say you must be Bond fans! Judi Dench is the current M John Cleese replaced the original Gadget whiz Q, Desmond Lleweyll, and yes Mrs Bond was Diana Rigg, shot dead in the closing scenes "On His Majesty's Service" the only time a Bond film ended that way as usually Bond ends up with the girl.

Right ok confused, weans as a weaned infant ok but bairns? and it crossed the border then? is it celtic or slang?

No Pat that was off the TV TEst The Nation programme...hardly a real IQ test! I"m ok on general knowledge but never likely to make Mensa! LOL

Pat, from my dictionary: bairn bairn [bairn] (plural bairns) n Scotland Northern England child: a young child [Old English bearn . Ultimately from an Indo-European word meaning ‘to carry, bear children’, which is also the ancestor of English bear, bring, suffer, and metaphor.] :-)

Yeah but they say people who can remember facts aint clever just got the memory. IQs are different aint they? problem and puzzle solving with the rest, wonder where I would come, I think I might be too embarrased to try.

Come on Pat you must have a question?

We never spoke "slang" as children. We was brought up to speak proper Humph
