Was he played by Chief Dan George? It is the only native actor I know. But yes I thought he made that film what it was.

Edit:

Just looked it up I was right

Interesting man, all those films and tv stuff against his name and he only started acting when he was 60 !

Good morning.

If the airport which your flight arrives in, has the three letter code HAH, what city/country would you be in?

Oh Lord! I have cone across this on my travels a long time ago. I think it was an island but can't be more specific until my diminishing long term memory reboots. Aaah..I know I know this one......

So do you mean I have arrived in a city, in a country, both of which have the same name??

No, I'm havin' a banana.

Harare?

I'm going to have to look it up because I know where it is, can pinpoint it on a map, but just can't remember the name. Good luck to anybody who can "guess" this one. It's a toughy.

looksee

I also looked it up as I had not the faintest idea where it might be. As Srameen says, good luck! I had never even heard of this place.

Meanwhile no one seems to know the closing date of the Olympics - so,

Question what is the opening date (opening ceremony)?

No, the name of the city will do, but to name both would ice the cake.

Clues?

This I know, because I'll be glued to the TV right through. It begins for real on 6th August, so the boring opening ceremony would be the 5th but I could only guess the closing about 2 weeks(ish) later.

looksee

You have it Srameen. The closing date is 21st August. Your question.

Correct and right...... again!!

As a quick supplementary, which is also an odd one out?

Liechtenstein

it is in Europe and not a former colony of the French.

Yes but not quite what I wanted. I was thinking that Liechtenstein doesn't have French as it's official language. But, you're right.

Liechtenstein - It was never ruled by France and uses the Swiss Franc.
The others were part of the French Empire/Union and their franc ( Rwandan for Rwanda, Central African Franc for the others ) is based on the French franc.
