movie name
I want to watch a movie I saw a preview for, but I don't know the title. It has a popular actor (like Harrison Ford) who dies. The town then takes care of his dog. That's all I remember. It shouldn't be too old because I just saw the preview this past weekend on television. 71.226.98.11 (talk) 00:01, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Could it be Hachi: A Dog's Tale (I guess Richard Gere counts as "a popular actor")? Deor (talk) 00:44, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Perhaps Greyfriars Bobby (1961 film) or the more recent The Adventures of Greyfriars Bobby -- Finlay McWalter • Talk 18:24, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

THFC tickets
I'm an American soccer fan who'll be in London on August 14 and I'd really like to go to the Tottenham Hotspur match that day. What's the simplest way to get a ticket for a single game? How much can I expect to pay? —D. Monack talk 01:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Tottenham's online ticketing system can be found here, and you have to register an account to purchase. According to this page tickets for the Man City game go on general sale at 08:30 UTC on 22 July (assuming they are not already sold out to priority members), and the price list says you can expect to pay between £44–76 ($66–$115), depending on where you sit.

 * Thanks. This response is really helpful. —D. Monack talk 06:33, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Identifying video game
I played a video game a few years ago on PC, but then never finished playing and lost the files when I formatted the computer. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify it. As far as I remember, it was a game with turn based fighting, everything was 2d, and was a fantasy game with a pretty big world to explore. There was also a part of the world that was underground, and I think the player started out in a kitchen of some sort, and if you stole anything all the npcs would try to kill you. Oh. It was possible to kill npcs too. Thanks ahead of time! 99.226.86.116 (talk) 05:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Additionally, exploration in the game was tile based. 99.226.86.116 (talk) 23:09, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * This sounds very much like an Exile game by Spiderweb Software, which were also remade as the first three of the Avernum series. The games are set in the cavernous underworld of Avernum, which seems similar to what you're suggesting, also NPCs in Spiderweb games tend to turn hostile very quickly if they see you nicking anything.

"Paradise" rendition
I remember hearing a song on my radio. It was George Benson doing his own rendition of a song called, "Paradise." I can't seem to find it anywhere. Which album does the song appear on? If more information is available, please let me know. Thank you.24.90.204.234 (talk) 05:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not listed in his discography index fwiw. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:30, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

I could've sworn there was a song called, "Pardise," by George Benson. Or perhaps there could be another song with the word 'Paradise' in the title. Could that be the case?24.90.204.234 (talk) 00:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Try a google search for "George Benson Paradise". One suggestion is "Give Me The Night" -- SGBailey (talk) 07:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I did a Dogpile search for "George Benson Paradise". A few results are 'George Benson his Paradise Valley home'. But still, George Benson may have done a song called, "Paradise."24.90.204.234 (talk) 18:37, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Song title
I heard this song with a line 'And I say hey hey hey yeh hey. Theres something going on' Does anyone know it?,Gobbleswoggler (talk) 17:10, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it "What's Up?" by 4 Non-Blondes? --TammyMoet (talk) 17:24, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

 it's not Get Off my Cloud by the Rolling Stones is it? Either way a great song. ny156uk (talk) 21:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Why is this reply in small text? The Hero of This Nation (talk) 19:46, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Or maybe What's Going On (song) by Marvin Gaye or For What It's Worth (Buffalo Springfield song). It doesn't match any of them all that great.  If we had more info on the style or more lyrics, it would help.   -- Jayron  32  23:25, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

In the world cup, when strip colours clash, how is it resolved?
With the FIFA World Cup final just hours away, I was wondering about the strip colour clash is decided. Will Oranje be in Orange? Is there a law covering the issue; is it a coin-toss, or alphabetical, or through consent?

Unreliable sources on the internet seem contradictory. Does anyone know the official policy?  Chzz  ► 22:08, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * FIFA World Cup regulations page 42, Article 32 - Equipment - Final Competition, para 5, "FIFA will inform the teams of the colours that they shall wear for each match. As far as possible, each team shall wear its official colours as declared on the official team colour form. If the two teams’ colours and the referees’ colour might cause confusion, in principle, team A in the official match schedule will be entitled to wear its official team kit and team B will use its reserve team kit or, if necessary, both teams may have to wear a combination of their official and reserve team kits. FIFA will endeavour to ensure that each team wears its official team kit at least once during the tournament." Note that the Netherlands are team A as far as the final goes.

 * And indeed the Netherlands team did wear orange while the Spanish team wore their "away" colours. However, I notice the Spanish team changed into their "home" colours for the trophy ceremony (see this image).  Astronaut (talk) 15:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You'll also notice that the kit they changed into has a star above the crest to symbolise a World Cup victory. Curious to think what they'd have done with those shirts had they lost the game.  AJ  Cham  09:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
