Sorry folks, I cheated, I've only just read post No.1, Rule No.1 on Page No.1 - No Googling, I just jumped straight to the end of the posts and never started at the beginning (at least I'm honest about it).

 

Anyway not to totally spoil the fun

 

Name the 3 actors who've played Father Mulcahy.

 

Well I could look it up on IMDB, but other than that no chance.

That's a Ding for ScotsBob.

 

Burxina exists only in the mind(s) of Doublespeak Inc. It's not a real country at all. It was inserted into a list of real countries, together with a one or two other traps, by the original compliers of a dropdown list as a way of identifying copyright theft.

 

Because of the profound ignorance .......<snip> ....etc....<snip>

Please keep this as a "fun" thread. Hijacking it to get on your own political soapbox is not what it's intended for.

"Political"? What utter nonsense! There's nothing "political" about pointing out the absurdity of the claim that geocaching is carried out in 222 countries (or whatever is the latest fanciful figure claimed by DoubleSpeak).

 

There's nothing "political" in pointing out the absurdity of claiming that such places as Åland, Antarctica and Burxina are "countries". There's nothing "political" in pointing out the background of the ignorance, such as the Danzig "country" claim by The Powers That Be.

 

The selective editing out of certain words from a post to misrepresent it as "political" is inappropriate, whatever the internal politics of DoubleSpeak may be.

Let's see the URL of the State Department webpage that you are referring to.

You would say that, as you're a puppet of a fascist state... or something :(

I have googled for the answer but am none the wiser really. I also believe many methods of suicide aren't painless. :anicute:

 

Well I found the answer on IMDB, am I allowed to have a go?

 

Go on Marty, no complaints from me.

Quickie before going to bed:

 

What's the name of the worlds largest freshwater lake (by Volume!).

and what's the nearest Cache? - you can use the GC website for this bit.

 

Lake Baikal?

 

Off to find the cache (but guessing it's an Earth Cache) :(

 

Edit:-

 

If it is Lake Baikal then how about First in Lake Baikal as the cache?

What do the Scottish islands of Sanda, Inchmarnock, Easdale, Iona, Staffa and Taransay have in common? They share it with Canna of the Small Isles, but not Rum, Eigg or Muck in the same group. Pabay and Rona are also included, but Mull, Skye, Benbecula, the Uists and Arran aren't. Several others have the same distiction.

The use of geo-googlemaps (which is allowed under the rules, I think) quickly tells us no, that's not it. Muck would be on that list rather than excluded from it, for example.

 

A clue: St Kilda is also on the list, rather famously, in 'those circles'.

 

A guess... they must have less than 10 people living on them... or be SSSI?

I don't think any UK lighthouses are manned now. I think the last one was Lizard Point, and that was automated in the 90s.

 

Extra 'OWA Giveaway' clue: It's something with perforations.

It has to be tea bags then. With 4000 little perforations in every one.

 

Or that all those Scottish islands at one time or another printed thie own postage stamps. I seem to remember a few years ago that there was a Scottish radio amateur that had something to do with one of them.

A-ring-a-ding-ding!

Yep, it's tea bags... No, ok, it's that these islands have been allowed to issue their own stamps. Take it away Alex!

An easy music question, especially if you are a Status Quo fan.

 

Who wrote the song, Rocking all over the World???

 

No googling or PAF please

Mind you all the questions are easy if you know the answers :laughing:

OK lets have a team effort again

 

Can you work out the phrases from the initial letters and numbers (e.g. "8 T on an O" = "8 Tentacles on an Octopus")

1. 50 S on the USF

2. 180 D in a T

3. 15 RB in a G of S

4. 88 is TFL in B

5. 3 W in M

6. 4 Q in a P of C

7. 14 D in a F

8. 1 F over the CN

9. 24 C in P G

10. 8 B in a B

 

The person who gets the last one gets the DING

Well both SP & Nediam have picked the right character, but Jerry did speak on occasions, usually in a conspiritational whisper when he was plotting something so I won't give it to Nediam.

And while Mel Blanc did do the voices for the other three, that's not the answer I'm looking for as other voice artists also did them at one time or another, but this fact is related to the answer I'm after.
