  1. That seems to be as close as we'll get - it's historical, based on the tithes. A Rector received all the tithes from a parish whereas a Vicar was employed by an institution ( commonly a monastery ) who 'owned' the parish and who paid the vicar to act on their spiritual behalf ( or vicariously ). The Vicar would typically receive a third of the total tithe. The only practical distinction to survive is that generally a Rector owns the freehold of the chancel, but not a Vicar. So it's a ding to Pajaholic
  2. I was getting worried. And in response to your answer - no
  3. I'm sorry - I thought this was easy - of course, it always is when you know the answer What should I do now ?
  4. We've all seen them when caching - The Old Vicarage, or The Old Rectory. What's the difference between a Vicar and a Rector ?
  5. You never see her - her hairy face, her batwing arms or her toilet activities.
  6. The TV comedy 'The Big Bang Theory' is set around characters working at which American University ? Well they're in Pasadena, which is California so I'll guess Cal-Tec (SP?) - just been watching it! Wow - that was quick - and accurate. A ding to you. It's funny too

  8. Seems a bit pointless and un(in)spired? to me... Any justification for the lack of church presence in the cache descriptions? Possible scenario: "Oh, oh, oh, we must have a Church Micro cache in our portfolio of caches - Let's do one for St Whoever's... Oh, someone's already put a cache close to there... oh, well, we can't give up our ambitions so we'll just fit it in somewhere..." MrsB Nope, no justifications Mrs B. We used to quite like CM's and would almost always go and have a look in the church if it was open. I thought it was just Terrain, Diffrat and Favpo's that weren't to be trusted. It would appear that we now need to add Church Micro's to the list of unreliable's too. I understand what you mean about difficulty & terrain - but why do you think that Favourite Points aren't to be trusted ? Genuinely interested here.
  9. Thanks for the info. What was Adolf Hitler's mother's first name ?
  10. There is a slight connection to the previous question. A domesticated scorpion ?
  11. And I tried so hard to avoid ambiguity England & Wales as opposed to Scotland. And no, it wasn't the Brides in the Bath chappie.
  12. What's the name of the only solicitor to be hanged for murder in England & Wales ?
