Sorry for 2 in a row, but I have a suggestion.:eek:
why not a proper "Pub Quiz" thread - with rules & everything.
i.e. consider this one has been a trial & start a new one - we probably need to start with suggestions for rules - like
the person who sets the question decides what is the right answer?
in the event of a dispute google is the arbiter
& questions like what do we do when the next question setter is offline - how long do we wait before a later, more thorough, answer could take precedence?

The Spy Who Loved Me??
Paul, you are right.
They called him to light the scene in the docking bay of Stromberg's ship.
He was called in because the set was closed in and very reflective, so standard studio lighting was useless. The set had to light itself . He was an expert at lighting.

Which Countries flag is not identical on both sides of the flag?
Ummm..... iffy question.... not identical on both sides?
If its different on each side, surely that means that nation has 2 flags??
eg, the saudi flag looks very different when seen from the 'other side' as it were - all the writing will be back to front for a start....
Nope but a valid argument. This flag has a different emblem on each side. The main body of the flag is the same but there is a different emblem on each side.
