My 3y.o. daughter's new film obsession is chitty chitty bang bang. We were watching it before and the dick van dyke inventor guy says that his next idea is to be able to "send pictures over the wireless" and Mrs 2CV turns to me and says "oo that's freaky, how did he know that would become a massive thing"..... i had to remind her that the film was not filmed when it was set (1905) and they knew what films were then as this was in fact a film.

My boys loved it too. Managed to get to take them to see the real thing back in 2008, that was being used to promote the opening of a new housing estate in Walsall (naturally). My youngest in the driver's seat.

Except it wasn't set in 1905."The story opens with a montage of European Grand Prix races in which one particular car appears to win every race it runs in from 1907 until its final race in 1909, when the car crashes and catches fire, ending its racing career. The car eventually ends up in an old garage in rural England, where two children, Jeremy and Jemima Potts, have grown fond of it. However, a man in the junkyard intends to buy the car from the garage owner, Mr. Coggins, for scrap. "
So later than 1909.
I'll go and put on my pedant costume and await to be beaten with a can of red bull.
In the run up to the launch of the Motor Insurance Database, I attended a function where the softwear was being demonstrated. So a very posh guy was on the stage, saying that by typing in the reg number, the make and model would appear (amazing stuff back then), and his PC was linked to the overhead projector and a big screen.
He invited people to shout out reg numbers, and people shouted out their own, and were quite amazed when their car details appeared.
I shouted out GEN 11, suspecting that "not found" or similar would appear, when up on the screen comes Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. To much laughter in the audience of 500 or so industry bigwigs.

- There is obviously the car that has unexpected abilities...
- Same author: Ian Fleming
- Same producer: Cubby Broccoli
- Same baddie: Gert Fröbe (Goldfinger obviously)
- Same director: Ken Hughes (the original Casino Royale)
- Same designer: Ken Adam
- Same actor: Desmond Llewelyn (Coggins in CCBB)

If I annwered one of my wife's questions in such a condescending manner, I'd get a punch in the throat. And I'd deserve it.
Clearly you've never asked what temperature you should wash clothes at.SB: "babe, what should I wash this at?"
SB's bird: "it says it on the tag"
SB: "yes, but I know you like to wash stuff hotter because it's easier to iron. So should I wash at 40?"
SB's bird: "how can you not know what to wash it at"
[SB washes it at 30 like it says on the tag]
SB's bird: "why do you wash at 30, you know I prefer it at 40!"

A near neighbour has just asked me if I know someone in the area called Mrs Assinsandra. She was holding a letter that had arrived in the mail.
I said 'No, what is your last name?'
'Bullock'.
'Do people have a problem with the spelling?'
'Sometimes'
'I think its for you'
really? I said 'No, what is your last name?'
