No worries - especially as you get the DING
-
not the answer I'm looking for I'm afraid (I did google to check in case, and can't see stink mentioned anywhere as an alternative)
-
Not sure why Koselig has reposted the previous Ding - but here's the next question in case you missed it above: what is the collective noun for ferrets?
-
Yes, that is the ding- they all died on Christmas Day- as did Eartha Kitt
Thanks - what is the collective noun for ferrets ?
-
I know that Charlie Chaplin died on Christmas Day so I'll guess the others did too

DING
That's the pair - they founded the Stables at Wavendon (and I went to school with their son...)
-
Milton Keynes maybe?
In a roundabout way, you're right. (See what I did there?)
Ding to Sharpeset.
Thanks! Don't get me started on MK roundabouts!
Near to MK is a music venue closely associated with a recently-deceased legendary jazz musician. For the ding name either the venue, the musician, or his wife...

Thanks
William de Cahaignes and his descendants see their name immortalised in the name of where in the UK? Although the spelling has changed somewhat over the years...
(there is a lateral link to the last question!)
Milton Keynes maybe?

Strangely, I knew deep down I was elbowing my way in... I just can't rests a quiz!!
Thanks for letting me play, and have a go with my favourite line from Monty Python.
No not Descartes.....
I know Emmanuel Kant featured in the song, so I'll go for him (I know nothing about his philosophy!)

The Danes are supposed to be really happy, so I'll go for Denmark

Venus it is - DING to you!

Thanks - I remember seeing it in steam a few years back when loaned to Swindon. Jumping sideways, which celestial body is commonly known as the Evening Star?
-
Wrong Stevenson, the early locomotive I'm looking for was built by R Stephenson & Co in 1839 and was one of a dozen or so of a broad-gauge class built for the Great Western Railway. A replica of another locomotive of that class can be seen at Swindon Steam Railway Museum.
The last BR steam locomotive commissioned was built in 1960 and got her name from a competition to come up with the best name. AFAICT, she is the only British main line locomotive to be chosen for preservation before she finished construction and she can currently be seen at the National Railway Museum in York.
That was the Evening Star

Leith Hill (about 10 miles away) is one of the four points, but not the most northerly.
If nobody gets the correct county by 5pm, I'm going to award it to the person who has nominated the nearest point to the hill in question.
Not very north, but how about Ivinghoe beacon in the Chilterns? Used to go on family picnics there as a kid and watch gliders. Nothing to see but flatness for miles

Ben, Jake and Karen.
Ding, Ding and thrice Ding!

A triple DING to you!
Why thank you, thank you, thank you!

Not quite, on the right lines just too big a scale.

Thomas Hardy?
Someone in the military, I think, but I can't tell you more than that.Picking up a theme: in the Radio 4 quiz show Brain of Britain, what do you have to do to be awarded a bonus point?
I'll claim the bonus - it's Admiral Hardy as in Nelson saying "Kiss me Hardy" as he lay dying on HMS Victory (or was it Kismet?....).
No idea about the new question
