Keeping on a welsh theme:
What is the welsh for Snowdon?
-
Ok... For clarity, next question is to translate:
P'nawn Da.
Telling you the language it is would make it too easy.
Good Afternoon - in welsh!

Simply Paul got the most DING's but Dorsetgal & Geodog got the final DING - so I'll let you fight it out between yourselves as to whose setting next question.

Still need the events for 1984 and 1988 and also all information re 6th medal.
Lisa - re the cox bursting into tears I think you are thinking about Garry Herbert who coxed the Searle brothers in the Coxed Pairs to gold in 1992.

In response to Simply Paul's answers:
1. 1984 - Gold - DING - but not in Pairs Skulling
2. 1988 - Gold - DING - but not in Pairs Skulling?
3. 1992 - Gold - DING - but not in Coxless 4s?
4. 1996 - Gold - DING - but not in Coxless 4s
5. 2000 - Gold - DING - Coxless 4s - DING
6. ?????????????????
So we need events for the 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996 and 2000 Gold Medals and also the information with respect to medal number 6.

Realised that my initial question might not be the easiest so have therefore edited it.
Therefore question is amended to:
Steve Redgrave is probably one of our most successful and best known Olympians.
He has six olympic medals spanning from 1984 to 2000.
Can you tell me:
Year
Medal Colour
Rowing Event
for each medal.

Hope that the following helps.
So sorry to hear of your loss.
The Rainbow Bridge
inspired by a Norse legend
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
Lend Me A Pup
I will lend to you for a while, a pup, God said,
For you to love her while she lives and mourn for her when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three
But will you, 'till I call her back, take care of her for me.
She'll bring her charms to gladden you and (should her stay be brief)
you'll always have her memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay since all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd's life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my Pup back again.
I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this Pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness we'll love her while we may
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay
But should you call her back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve
In memory of her we loved to help us while we grieve,
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another pup, and love her all her life

Following on with another Grand National question - sorry!
In 1993 the race was officially declared void after the horse and riders broke through the starting tape and did not pull up to restart. The jockeys continued to ride the full distance of the Grand National Course.
What was the name of the horse who passed the post first?
Also can you name the jockey and the trainer of the horse?

L'escargot 1975
Rag Trade 1976
If my memory serves me correctly

But it doesn't seem to be working - I get the message no ident response.

The Second picture down is the CN Tower in Ontario if I'm not mistaken. If I remember correctly from a trip to Canada in 97 it has a piece of glass floor that you can walk over - and see the crazy golf course round the base - all fine till some small child starts jumping up and down on it!!

Seeing as I'm getting married at the end of the month, I'm going to set a wedding related question:
It's traditional for the bride to give favours away, they used to be 5 sugared almonds.
What is the meaning of the five almonds??

Someone in our office does pub quiz's and regularly tries questions out on us!! This being one of them, if I remember rightly it's a tegestologist.

Right, I'll try to make good my poor attempt a few posts back.
