Kitty Hawk

Mace Windu (spelling as it sounds) beheaded him with a lightsaber. Boba retrieved his head in a later scene How did Boba die?

I wonder if it's possible/feasible to have a UK off topic area, or a sticky directing to the GAGB or G:UK off topic areas. Might tidy this forum up and perform a service by boosting awareness of the other sites. Then everyone is happy

Newark (Tee hee)

Rutson is quite right, SP is very right, but I'd have accepted Rutson answer had I seen it on it's own. KaaaDING. Your turn Ian

Horridge

Yeah, just as I thought.... Wild guess alert Now, for a question... A Googlewhack is....what?

I'll take a punt on this. 1. Using the Sun & the Moon - so visually. 2. Using the earth's magnetic field - so tingley.

AOL? You will never remove them from your computer and their programs will infest everything you do or try to do. Everytime you try to do something you will find that AOL removed the vital bit of code that allowed windows to do the thing and now AOL are the only solution. Buy a new computer. Pay the minimum AOL subscription of £4.95. Don't install AOL on your new machine, access AOL on line. Reply to everyone you want with your new e-mail address. Cancel the whole the AOL direct debit after 6mths/1yr/2yrs as appropriate. Go to a reasonably small internet provider without world domination ambitions. Been there already.

Great, it was right! The Golem's question sounds good, too tricky for me to answer though...

Rhubarb?

Dysdera uses the longer thinner specimen tubes and they work fine. Having said that some of his caches don't get found that often...

Taking JF & BF's answer I calculate 161 - if the original foul was on the black there would be another 7 points awarded....possibly? Then the free ball, then the 147...

A point I noted above, but poverty is no excuse for placing a lame micro - even someone on a shoestring can place a good micro.

No, they should have planned their caching trips properly.

OK, I can see Happy Humphreys point too - a crap cache is crap whether it's a tupperware container or a film cannister and I agree that size doesn't make a good cache. Is there an argument that the cache setter invests a little more into a trad and so takes a little more care over the hide? I have no objection to micro's as such, but where I agree with Pharisee is that I don't like looking for them when it's just a war of attrition, not a test of skills or solving puzzles, sneakiness etc. As an example a cache in a wood miles from the public gaze, 40ft accurancy and a clue saying 'film cannister we chucked in the ivy' In these circumstances it's not clever or fun to set the micro let alone find it. (There is a poverty argument, but then if you can only set micro's make them good/interesting ones - thought is free). At least with 'proper' cache you have a decent chance of success in finding it and the kids don't get to feel cheated. There are plenty of good micro's - I don't think anyone here disputes that, although there seems to be feeling here that that is the suggestion. I see no suggestion that micro's should be banned, just that the skill/thought/care/fun is lacking on many (but not all) micro's and these poor examples of microcaches are unenjoyable to find. A poor traditional is still unenjoyable to find, but at least it's easier to find, so doesn't have that frustration factor.

To me Pharisee's point seems straight forward and non controversial and in the best interests of UK geocaching especially as a family sport. Micro's have their place - I have one out. I am also amongst those who doesn't like scrabbling about in woods looking for a film cannister hidden in one of a million icky places. My 7 & 3 years olds agree.

sounds like a Hercules type of a task

I wasn't offered the course, I'd have done that. Instead I bought a slower car. Adrian - 80 on a dual carriageway...

I got that for No 100. £30 fine & 3 points but my car insurance went up by £160 as a result...

ding, well done

Woke him up specially, he perked up when he knew why but he's grumpy as hell this morning :-) It's kind of like revenge, he's been waking me up in the middle of the night on & off for 7 years. Anyway, question - Is oxygen flammable? EDIT to add - he's not talking right now, but if I did let him set a question you'd definately end up with an obscure question from Star Wars like having to give the middle name of one of the monsters in the bar in episode 4 (Episode 1 to you and me) or answer an equally obscure question about Yu-Gi-Oh. Further EDIT - he's got wind of what is happening, give me a moment, we'll have a Star Wars Question ignore Q1 Further Further EDIT - after a good aborted question with the answer being Jango Fett (Doh) we have moved on to this one - How do Chewbacca, Han & Leia arrive in the Ewok village

According to Finn *, aged 7 - there are 7...

This answer to this is only "Half-Serious". Sorry, I was being facetious, that's two words with the vowels in correct order...

What are the first names of the Hardy Boys and their friend who shares their adventures?

Tay bridge? Assuming I'm right. - the clue gave it away, the peom is in Horrible Histories, I looked it up a couple of weeks ago to see if it was real and Topaz is the house my son is in at school, so making it memorable. I've not got time to set a question (work, boo ) - if necessary would someone do the honours.
