+The Golem Posted July 19, 2006 Author Posted July 19, 2006 I've not had ago for a while... What do you call a group of Storks?
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 A radiance of Storks - given that they look very much like Cardinals - that's the clerics not the birds.

+Johnmelad Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Well I know but that's cos I googled - how about a clue? A very devious clue would be... Brokeback Mountain Crash Good Night, and Good Luck Munich Capote First to answer gets to ask next question.

+Simply Paul Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 A bit of dialogue for you. Where did it come from? Cheviot: "It's only two percent." Grossman: "Two percent is 26 million consumers, Ben! Once they start switching channels, it's war! You know that!" Cheviot: "It happens all the time. We're used to it."
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 pure guess but could it be "How to Get Ahead in Advertising"
+paul.blitz Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 A bit of dialogue for you. Where did it come from? Cheviot: "It's only two percent." Grossman: "Two percent is 26 million consumers, Ben! Once they start switching channels, it's war! You know that!" Cheviot: "It happens all the time. We're used to it." Sounds like something from "Max Headroom" (and if so, that's real spooky, coz I was looking up a link for Matt Frewer earlier on!) Paul
+Simply Paul Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Ding! It's from the original pilot episode called '20 minutes into the future' which had its 21st birthday this year. NOW you're feeling old
Dave from Glanton Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Hmmm....I was going to suggest that cricket pundit fella Richie Beneaut (probably spelled wrong). Then I hit the 'reply' button and noticed that it quoted the name of the image file in the text prefixing my reply. I think I've decided to change my mind - could it possibly be popular chat show host Michael Parkinson?
+The Golem Posted July 23, 2006 Author Posted July 23, 2006 Ah - the idea is you do it without cheating! However it seems like a genuine accident so over to you...
Dave from Glanton Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Ah - the idea is you do it without cheating! Cheating? Well it was a Google-free cheat, so I guess I can get away with it with a clean conscience. OK, a slightly geeky question for you then...what is numerically interesting about the seeds of a sunflower? (there's a 'Da Vinci Code' link here, if you need a clue)
Dave from Glanton Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Fibonacci numbers? Ding! The seeds in a sunflower are arranged in spirals, and the number in clockwise and counterclockwise spirals are always two consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
dodgydaved Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 OK What's just over a thousand feet long, maxes at one hundred and twenty feet high and is approx eleven feet wide? Precise answers please
+MartyBartfast Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 OK What's just over a thousand feet long, maxes at one hundred and twenty feet high and is approx eleven feet wide? Precise answers please The Millenium bridge over the Tyne?
The Royles Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Thats the exact area I end up searching for a cache before I find it.
dodgydaved Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 I refer to my previous answer and am now off to bed I'll check again at some time later tomorrow School's out so it will be late
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) 11 feet wide - mh seems a little narrow, so I'm going with a canal aqueduct and given that its 120 feet high my guess is its the one that you see out the drivers side window from the A5 on you way to the hills. The canal's the Llangollen canal and the place called Froncysyllte GR SJ270420, though I notice from the map that the village on the other side is called Trevor. The river that gets crossed is the Afon Dyfrdwy (or River Dee for any anglophones out there) - I've got a suspicion that its architect was Thomas Telford (who also was responsible for the A5 itself), and Telford was born in Langholm in Dumfries & Galloway which with 21 active caches has the lowest cache density of any of the post 1974 local government administrative areas in the UK. Can I stop now, is that precise enough - oh yes the Ifor Williams trailer factory is just up the road at Corwen which is close to that place that sells those giant butterflies you can stick on the side of your house.

dodgydaved Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 In actual fact it's not quite precise enough Its the cast iron trough that carries the cut that fits those dimensions But I'll give it you 'cos you knew so much abouot it and Thomas T dodgydaved PS Although Tom designed it I believe there are doubts as to whether or not he was the engineer oin the project!
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Keeping with dodgydaveds theme of long thin things: what was 10,709' long, 16' 7" wide with a maximum height of 114' 8"? And for a clue - it was famously celebrated in poetic form by a poet with the middle name Topaz.
+Kitty Hawk Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) Tay bridge? Assuming I'm right. - the clue gave it away, the peom is in Horrible Histories, I looked it up a couple of weeks ago to see if it was real and Topaz is the house my son is in at school, so making it memorable. I've not got time to set a question (work, boo ) - if necessary would someone do the honours. Edited July 24, 2006 by Kitty Hawk
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 DING!!! - you even got the name of the bridge corrrect as there is no "Rail" in the Tay Bridge, and as you say the poet was William Topaz McGgonagall: Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay! Alas! I am very sorry to say That ninety lives have been taken away On the last Sabbath day of 1879, Which will be remember'd for a very long time. - over to you Kitty Hawk

+Johnmelad Posted July 25, 2006 Posted July 25, 2006 A pearl of a little thing Seed Oyster or Spat possibly!
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Come on shr00m I believe that he has given the correct answer. Hoy shr00m are you stuck in there, can someone phone for the Firebrigade it seems that the toilet has tried to swallow shr00m!
