A ding for civilised then.
The TV comedy 'The Big Bang Theory' is set around characters working at which American University ?
to slow with my answer

thank you for the info.
I will wait for the next update, as I have no idea were to, or how to, start changing scripts.
although I am sure it would be straight forward to do.
thanks again for all your hard work on keeping these maps going

As of today I have lost the OS maps overlay which is the one I use the most
I just get a grey screen with the caches on but no map. I'm using Firefox 20.0.1 and GME v0.6.4. I've tried installing older versions of GME back to 0.5.2 but not joy......any ideas?
Thanks
I am having the same result with OS maps, also with Bing map and Bing Aerial View. just a grey back ground and all the caches
all the other maps are working the same as usual

Going purely on the tankard, I'd have a guess at Bullseye.
A big 180 for you but no bonus point
BFH was Bus Fare Home
-
this may not be the best way to do this, but I create a way point on the GPs for each cache that I solve and change the way point name to the cache name

Now let’s bring the quiz back to earth. With a question I set for our pub quiz at the beginning of the year.
The theme of the round was runner up prizes on TV game shows
The question is.
Which popular TV quiz had a runner up prize of “A toy, a tankard or a BFH?”
There was also a bonus point for the meaning of BFH
-
Well I wasn’t expecting that to be the right answer. I will have to think of a question now
-
Just a willed stab in the dark as it’s not an animal
Was it a crash test dummy?

Is it telescopic vision as in beards of pray

I always carry spare logs and zip lock bags and have replaced many wet logs.
I have also received some nice thank you e-mails from cache owners.
Especially from Co with remote caches that they would have had to visit, if I hadn’t replaced the log book there and then
I also send an e-mail o the Co and offer to send the old wet log back to them if they want it

To measure a rout
1 click on the "i" icon
2 then left click were you want to start you rout
3 left click further along you rout and then click extend
4 do this for your entire rout
5 the distance is displayed to the right of the "i" icon

I had no idea about this question till I Googled it. So I am disqualifying myself from this one

I can also confirm the cattle grid is located at ground level, on a road, between fences, walls or hedges. If that's not good enough then someone else clicking that link will get the Ding. Which is perfectly fairThat answer confirms the cache is in Wales, but it doesn’t give the cattle grid’s location. No Ding yet
For your persistence I will give you the Ding.<P></P>
The First Cattle Grid In Wales GC3DE7V
In the 1940’s the first cattle grid in England and Wales was installed on the B4391 over the Berwyn from Llangynog to Bala, to deter sheep from wandering.
At that time cattle grids were not permitted on the public highways, but the land owner was influential in political circles.
Eventually legislation was passed in 1950 which permitted the placing of cattle grids on the public highway
The first official 'Cattle Grid' sign in the country was placed here on the 27 June 1952

This rather gave the game away as while web-searching is banned, looking at profiles isn't. The cache is GC3DE7V and because I'm not a premium member at the moment, I can confirm it's... in Wales....There is a geocache of mine there that gives its history.
That answer confirms the cache is in Wales, but it doesn’t give the cattle grid’s location. No Ding yet

Thanks for the Ding.
The only bit I looked up was the quote, and that was to get it right.
Now the question I have is.
Can you give the location of the first cattle grid in Wales? There is a geocache of mine there that gives its history.

I remember listening to the last broad cast from radio Caroline as she was sinking on 20 March 1980.
I had to Google the next bit.
The last broadcast from the Mi Amigo was by Stevie Gordon and Tom Anderson, as follows
Well, we're sorry to tell you that due to the severe weather conditions and the fact that we are shipping quite a lot of water, we are closing down, and the crew are at this stage leaving the ship. Obviously, we hope to be back with you as soon as possible, but just for the moment we would like to say goodbye. "It's not a very good occasion really, we have to hurry this because the lifeboat is standing by. We're not leaving and disappearing, we're going onto the lifeboat hoping that the pumps can take it, if they can, we'll be back, if not, well we really don't like to say it. I'm sure we'll be back one way or another. For the moment from all of us, goodbye and God Bless."

That would be Voyager 1 and it's said to have left the influence of the Sun although that's a statement that's being argued at present. The evidence for this is a sudden decrease in solar particles and a corresponding increase in cosmic rays. If it hasn't already, then it'll exit the region of the heliopause some time soon.
Voyager 2 is still within the influence of the Sun but is also at the heliopause. The missions of both are expected to last until around 2025 when the radiothermal generators that power them will finally stop producing sufficient power to maintain operation of the transmitters. Fantastic stuff really.
That’s a ding. Thought that may have lasted longer than that

thanks for the Ding hears one to get you thinking
As the last question was about boats, hears a two part question about launches.
Part 1. what was launched on 5 September 1977? As Elvis was topping the UK chart with Way Down.
Part 2. On the 25 August last year it left the influence of what object?

I use this sight to display my stats and maps
you just run a my finds PQ and then upload it to your Profile page
-
Two very close suggestions, but no Ding yet. The bear had a name. Indeed, it still does.
taking a hint from you last comment I will try water speed record,
don't know the bears name though
-
Go to their log on the cache page .
Click on their name “This will bring up their profile”
On the Profile page you will see a link “E-Mail Address:Send Message”
-
Have you ran a “My finds PQ” in the last 3 days.
If you have then you won’t be able to run one as you are only allowed one in any 3 day period.
If you look to the right of the “My find button” you should see a date and time of the last time you ran you PQ. This date and time, is the server date and time and not the local time to you.

How about speed boat racing, they always have big crashes
I just get a grey screen with the caches on but no map. I'm using Firefox 20.0.1 and GME v0.6.4.

thank you for the above walk through it made it very easy to do
just for any one else to help them search for the line in the script. the line number that you need to find is #1141 and the number to change is #1142
