VOLVO

[Captain2]

Is 'noes' correct?

[fiction-factory]

Maybe Noel's?

[Davemano]

First one. HomeBase.

[Captain2]

Ha! nice one Dave, just assumed it meant 'star of TV/film/etc'

[Wizzy67]

Noes is correct but there is an accent above the e but do not know how to change the keyboard to reflect this - sorry

[mallyh]

gasper noe is a film director but I cant find a daughters name

[kettledrum]

Hi Wizzy!
What sort of accent is on the ‘e’?
(1) noé
(2) noë

Or something else ... è or ê perhaps?

And is it Noes ( as you’ve written it, but with an accent) or Noe’s ?

[fiction-factory]

Octopedal Transport (4,7)
possible ideas that might generate an answer- spiders, octopus, lobster, insects. Scorpion tank doesn't fit

[Wizzy67]

Hello, the names is shown as Noé’s.

Thanks

[fiction-factory]

Looks like a Gaspar Noé reference then. His list of films have some interesting titles! French for daughter is Fille but that doesn't seem to help

[fiction-factory]

Octopedal transport - seen as quad bicycle

[kettledrum]

Noé is french version of Noah. Could this be a line to follow?

[Wizzy67]

Pretty much exhausted the Gaspar & Noah routes, still none the wiser, even looked at the opera to no avail - thanks all for your suggestions.

[Pepper2]

Octopedal transport is Alfa Spyder

[scorpiojo]
