+Jango & Boba Fett Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Do I get a pedant point for this? How can Wales AND Bhutan be unique? I was going to post a self roast on that one, being a bit of a grumpy old pedant too, but thought I'd just leave it. Any ideas on their duniqueness oh picky nicky? Edited June 9, 2006 by Jango & Boba Fett
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Neither is legally a Country? Dave Nope. thought this would be an easy one for a fireproof old bird!
+Brenin Tegeingl Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Well I don't know about Bhutan but the only thing else I can think of that makes Wales unique in GB (not too sure about Europe) is that it's a Principality as opposed to a Monarchy which is ruled by a King or Queen. So I suppose we should rely sing "God Save The Prince" here in Wales Dave
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Obviously I haven't flagged up the right hint yet!
+Brenin Tegeingl Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Last guess they both have a dragon on their flags? If this in not the answer I'm off to sulk with my Draigs Dave

The Royles Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 That would be Brian and Micheal singing matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs - about Lowry. Is the biggest collection in the Lowry Centre ?

The Royles Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Oops, didnt see the answer before mine. Question withdrawn Edited June 9, 2006 by The Royles
+sTeamTraen Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 OK, an easy one ("they're all easy if you know the answer" - Chris Tarrant): what's this?
+sTeamTraen Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Conway's "Game of life"? I was hoping for "a glider from Conway's Game of Life", but that'll do - next!
dodgydaved Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 She was one of a pair who were "unlike us" because they "cupid's darts did not feel". Who was she and what was her relationship to this week's Oxbridge revelation?
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 St Hilda's College is going coed next term (hopefully Oxbridge have not yet gone semester-ical). St Hilda herself was a celtic Saint who hung out in East Anglia at one point - there normal story is they were daughter/son of a great Lord but forsook worldly wealth on encountering St Aiden/St Botolph/St Cuthbert, St Hilda being one of a pair suggests that her (?older) sister also took the viel (although of course Celtic Christian monastries didn't follow that pattern and tended to be preaching resource centres with paired male & female communities)
dodgydaved Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I agree woth all that, but....... She was one of a pair who were "unlike us" because they "cupid's darts did not feel". Who was she and what was her relationship to this week's Oxbridge revelation?

+Simply Paul Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 I always thought Zeus was the father of the gods and thus the top of the family tree. But I just googled and I was wrong. Ah well, you live and learn and it does mean this OT thread is educational at least
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 - Who was the father of Zeus? Well his mum was Rhea so I supose that would make it a bit of a Mr-rhea!
