Ok considering the answer hasn't been verified as yet and i'm an impatient man..

What Sopranos star also starred in The Godfather Part II.

kenco · 25-08-2008 06:21PM

Dominic Chianese (Junior)???

Only thinking that due to the age profile?

EARMUFFS · 26-08-2008 11:03AM

Yep he played johnny ola in Godfather 2..

Q?

Collie D · 26-08-2008 11:08AM

A while since I played this so can't remember if whoever got the question right has to ask the nex question or if anyone can jump in. Apologies if the former.

Sticking with the Godfather, who played Johnny Fontane in the first part? Hint, he's playing in Dublin next month.

EARMUFFS · 26-08-2008 02:13PM

Al Martino..

based his performance on the next individual,

How many oscar nominations did Frank Sinatra garner and how many did he win?

EARMUFFS · 28-08-2008 02:09PM

Ok considering this thread seems to lay dormant for inexplicably long periods i will stop badgering people for answers..

Answer to the Sinatra Q was 2 nominations and 1 actual win for From Here To Eternity. Also got nominated for The Man With the Golden Arm.

kenco · 29-08-2008 08:27PM

OK for the crack heres one for y'all

What Dublin landmark is (supposedly) the scene in a Sopranos episode....

Collie D · 30-08-2008 08:57PM

Hagar · 04-09-2008 11:23AM

Since we're waiting would anyone mind if I posted a question?

The Hill Billy · 04-09-2008 12:44PM

Go for it Hagar.

Hagar · 04-09-2008 01:21PM

Name the all wildlife ie real birds & animals that have been used on Irish coinage since 1928. There's more than you think.

Woodcock - farthing

Pig & piglets - ha'penny

Hen & chicks - penny

Rabbit - threepenny bit

Irish Wolfhound - sixpenny bit

Bull - shilling

Salmon - two shillings

Horse - half crown

They're the only ones I remember. And yes I'm old enough to have bought a sweet for a farthing.

EDIT: Oops... just remembered the Raven on the 1966 10 shilling piece.

Hagar · 04-09-2008 02:04PM

One more to go on regular coinage and 4 to go on special/commemorative coins.

Stag on the pound. I can't think of any commemorative coins except the Millenium 50p, was there a bird on that? And the Millenium pound, but that had a boat.

Do these count?

Hagar · 04-09-2008 02:20PM

Stag is correct. The others are a bit more obscure.

Rashers · 04-09-2008 02:21PM

Thought we were talking pre-decimilisation.

Okay. The Raven on the ten shilling coin (1966)

Red Deer (stag) on the pound coin

Woodcock returns on the 50p piece

Bird design on the half penny and the one new penny.

Bull again on the 5p

Salmon on the 10p

Horse on the 20p

Dove on the UN commemorative 1 pound coin.

Scratching me head to remember more now.

Well done.

The Raven is sneakey.:D

/edit I didn't count the mythical birds on the copper coins.

Two to go.

Clue both birds.

Hagar · 05-09-2008 10:06AM

To be fair the commemorative coins are too obscure. Here's the full list.

Woodcock 1/4d and 50p
Pig 1/2d
Piglets 1/2d
Chicken 1d
Chicks 1d
Hare 3d
Wolfhound 6d
Bull 1/- and 5p
Salmon 2/- and 10p
Horse 2/6 and 20p
Stag £1

Special commemorative issued coinage

Raven 1966 10/-
Dove £1 1995
Stag 5/10/50 ECU 1990
Swan £5 and €10 2004
Unnamed flock of birds 2008 €10

Rashers to go next I think.

Any chance of an answer ?

Dyin' to know

kenco · 06-09-2008 04:29PM

Humble apologies folks but I have been out of action for a week with no access to any elements of the interweb!

Its the Shelbourne Hotel! There is a episode in one of the last couple of series where Tony calls his Lawyer (think he was arrested for concealed gun) who answers in his suite in the Shelbourne as he is there for his daughters graduation!

Sorry for the delay

TheBigFella · 23-09-2008 11:21AM

Here's one to try.
Name Laura's 2 different dogs that she had on Little House on the Prairie

CreepingDeath · 25-09-2008 08:10PM

Yeah, asking a "Little house on the prarie" question in BGRH doesn't sound right to me !
