    Nice one, Mega M-Man. <badger> <applause> <magic> :emoticon-0165-muscl You are an inspiration to us all. :rolleyes:

    Today, I am pleased to present you with a menu for the Australian Outback Restaurant. No more dinner table quibbles for you; from now on, you'll be armed with a plan and a decent estimate of the cost before you've even arrived (just don't forget to consider dollar/pound exchange rates). Enjoy!

    Wow, these prizes just get better and better! On another note Ponders, is it not quite strange/spooky/weird that I was mentioning about "Throwing a Benny" earlier on this question and that term comes from a character from Crossroads? How do you explain that?

    That is uncanny, M. I did notice at the time and genuinely thought you were heading towards another rapid win, yet that was before you realised Russell Grant and Harrison Ford have never been screen fellows. Having said all that, I reckon something was channelling a subliminal idea into your mind and that it was just a matter of time before it all clicked into place.

    A new quiz is on the way very shortly.

    To be honest, it was because I was reading about the Falklands War a couple of nights ago and as I said they are sometimes called Bennies so I clicked on it and it had a few links and one of the links was to Throw a Benny, a term that I hadn't heard for years and didn't know where it had originated from until then. Life is just full of surprises. Maybe not mention the Russell Grant/Harrison Ford thing too much, maybe we could keep that our wee secret<ok>

    No problem, M. :)

    I bet Harrison Ford's pretty chuffed about his screen time with Sherrie Hewson, though.

    Can I have a like for the prize, please?

    One of two siblings, I was born in south east England during the later part of the 1800s
    Upon graduating from engineering training, I pursued a career within the automotive industry, working in places such as London and Birmingham
    During the early 1920s, I raised £20,000 to create my own company, and I often tested my own products to ensure perfection of engineering and safety
    I received an OBE, CBE and a knighthood, and a medal for my services during WW1

    I was born in the USA during the first decade of the 20th century
    I started out in business, but the crash of 1929 put me on a new career path: acting
    Due to my heritage and looks, I was often typecast, yet this led to parts in classic war films, a James Bond film, and some of the most popular TV shows of the 70s and 80s
    My first wife and one of my daughters were Hollywood agents and often represented me

    Of French Huguenot descent, I was born in the USA during the WW1 years
    After recovering from a bout of rheumatic fever, I changed career path from music to writing novels, plays, poetry and essays
    The likes of Marlon Brando, Liz Taylor and Alan Arkin starred in adaptations of my work, and I could count Truman Capote, Gypsy Rose Lee and W.H. Auden as friends
    I suffered a series of strokes during my lifetime, and my husband killed himself just five years after my own suicide attempt
