No worries Messervy. I'll post one:

Which novel begins with this sentence:

"From the Officers' Billet in the Hotel Majestic to the Bar Royal the coast road describes a single extended curve three miles long"

Title and Author please!

[Goose_Green]

RJ - That's really easy - Das Boot of course written by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim

[VikingGrandad]

Ha - you beat me to it Goose!

[Ant__.]

Weeeell, I knew the veterans would get it! I couldn't resist. My old copy literally fell apart and my new copy (with different cover) arrived today and it was sat on my desk here....

Over to you Goose! (If you don't have one I have a reserve)

[Goose_Green]

Sorry VG

It took me 3 mins to get the answer in - benefits of not being in work today

Even though I have read the book just the once I have listened to it many times so the opening line has become ingrained into my brain

I will post a suitable question later...Goose Green now begins looking for his uber uboat library amongst his brown boxes ready for moving...

[Goose_Green]

Apologies for the delay

This maybe be easy to some of you, but here goes;

Who is referred to as the "Lion"?

[PhantomKira]

Das Boot: Just started it, I knew I recognized that line! Good book so far.

[Ant__.]

Who is referred to as the "Lion"?

The Boss:

[Goose_Green]

I'm sorry RJ - You will have to do better than "The Boss" - full rank and name please

Only joking...I will let you off since you posted a rather nice picture of "our" boss

Your turn...

[Ant__.]

Thanks Goose

What was the first US Navy vessel to be torpedoed by a U-Boat and lost in WW2?

Bonus claps for the Kaleun and the U-Boat, the date and the convoy it was sailing with!

Check your dates carefully!
