1) Jamaica
2) Ummmm, I think maybe this was Goose Green?
4) Not sure again, I think it was Pat Garratt...maybe...
5) Blast...I know this one, but can't think...I'm sure someone will know it before it comes back to me though!
6) Vodka Martini...shaken, not stirred :D
8) OH! Shame on me for not being 100% sure about this...the Blue Fairy in Pinnochio I think....
9) Gnasher
11) America On Line
12) Ummm, I think it might be the Stamen, but not sure
13) Anvil rings a bell
14) Crimean I think

30) Valletta
32) Michael Crichton
33) Nelson Mandela?
34) Whitechapel
38) Black Lace I think :rolleyes:
40) Hound of the Baskervilles
