+bobuk Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 ok we all use the saying "POSH" eg. my this is a posh place you live in. but where does that word come from? B.
+MartyBartfast Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 ok we all use the saying "POSH" eg. my this is a posh place you live in. but where does that word come from? B. Didn't they discuss this on "Balderdash & Piffle" (BBC program) and decide that there was no conclusive source? Certainly the "Port Out Starboard Home" theory seems to be widely discounted.

+sTeamTraen Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 back to quizz master....... I suggets you just ask another question.
+The Golem Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 Ooh - me...me... Which muscle in your body is only attached at one end?
+The Bongtwashes Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Ooh - me...me... Which muscle in your body is only attached at one end? The tongue?
dodgydaved Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 I believe there is another..................but this is a family site
+The Golem Posted June 18, 2006 Author Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) Ooh - me...me... Which muscle in your body is only attached at one end? The tongue? DONG!! I didn't think about that - next question please... Edited June 18, 2006 by The Golem
+sTeamTraen Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 DONG!! I think that's what DodgyDaveD meant. BTW, what happened to DodgyDozy, DodgyBeaky, DodgyMick, and DodgyTich? Yes, yes, I've already got my coat on...
+purple_pineapple Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 DONG!! I think that's what DodgyDaveD meant. BTW, what happened to DodgyDozy, DodgyBeaky, DodgyMick, and DodgyTich? Yes, yes, I've already got my coat on... Aren't they all having a very well earned break? I haven;t bothered looking it up, but I'm not sure that Dave's suggestion is actually a muscle... I think increase blood flow is what makes it 'work'... Anyway, what was the next question again????
+The Bongtwashes Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 OK, this one is Mrs.B's favourite quiz question. (she mentioned it once, half an hour before it came up in a quiz night at school) In Coronation Street, what was the name of Minnie Caldwell's cat?
+civilised Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Oh, and when I've gone to bed and not here to take the compliments as to my right answer - what film did Al Pacino finally win an Oscar for ? civilised

Nediam Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Might have been Heat? I was thinking Heat as well, but have a nagging feeling It might be later I'll check as it's not my answer
Nediam Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 I've just checked and it's not (according to IMDB) "Heat". However, someone does have the right answer

+The Bongtwashes Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Nice easy footballing question. In the 1966 World Cup Final, Geoff Hurst scored a hat trick, who got the other?
+rutson Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 From wasting too much of my youth doing real pub quizzes, rather than any football knowledge: Martin Peters.

+rutson Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 According to Adams' hero's I-Ching calculator, what is 9 + 21 * 44 / 2?
NickPick Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Oh, I've just thought about it (and noticed the "Adams' hero's" reference). It's ages since I read that book, but is it something to do with "A shade of yellow"?
+rutson Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Got it! Sorry to be pedantic, but as DNA was SUCH a stickler for using exactly the right word...
NickPick Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 No need to apologise to me for being pedantic Your turn Golem!
