+civilised Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 What's his name? I'm for bed Godfather Part 2 - Hyman Roth You got it - ask a question civilised
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Anyway, answer the question - I've been up a long time - need my bed now civilised Sorry civilised but I'm stuck, though I know its not the God Father so for me its a toss up between James Cromwell's police Captain in LA Confidential or R(I'm really guessing here) Road to Perdition - though I wasn't really paying attention - ask me a Howard Hawks question and I'd be on more solid groud.

+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 ok next question What date is Trafalgar Day? 21st October Was this some kind of test to make sure that I was awake and paying attention, or just an attempt at embaressment. So continuing the Nelsonian Theme - What was the name of Horatio Nelson's oldest brother?
nobby.nobbs Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 do you people never go to bed?? dave? or maybe trigger.
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 do you people never go to bed?? dave? or maybe trigger. Bed what does that look like then?
+sTeamTraen Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 What was the name of Horatio Nelson's oldest brother? William, I think.
+purple_pineapple Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Full is the older brother Half is the younger brother...
+sTeamTraen Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Full is the older brother Half is the younger brother... You forgot his twin, named Double
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Full is the older brother Half is the younger brother... You forgot his twin, named Double OK - you've all proved you can read the names of our latest caches, plus we've got a few more Nelsonian phrases hidden away beyond the 11 we have already listed there. But back on topic, no William was an older brother, but not the oldest. Edited May 24, 2006 by Jango & Boba Fett
+sTeamTraen Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 But back on topic, no William was an older brother, but not the oldest. Edmund? (No relation to Blackadder, one trusts)
+MJB58 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 LOl Jango & Bobb sorry to insult you with the simplicity of my last question I'll try to do better next time. I didn't realise that you had a Nelson fettish! Anyway big brother? He did have a brother called William didn't he? But you're saying that isn't the eldest. So is it another tradional name like Edward or Charles?
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Edmund? (No relation to Blackadder, one trusts) Good try! Obviously doing your homework, granddad and dad having that name, getting a bit warmer. MoJoBrad - don't worry no offence taken nor meant, I was just waiting for all those Blind Eye, Blood, Chequer Board suggestions to surface. Oh and yes William Nelson was his next older brother who suceeded to his titles after Trafalgar. He just wasn't his oldest brother. Nice weather for fishing, see if you get any bites MoJoBrad - sorry I'm not SCREAMING just haven't worked out how to quote from two different posts yet.

Nediam Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Are you looking for Maurice Nelson? Technically Edmund and Horatio were his elder brothers (but they both died at a very young age and never "met" him). The brother that he would have been able to "play with" would have been Maurice

As the French don't recognise any off their extranious bits as being "overseas" I'll go for the smuggling capital off Newfoundland the Isles St Pierre and ?macon which must be about 1500 km northeast of NY.

Well done - DING - next... Ashamed to say I guessed 1000 miles then did a rough conversion, so all those anti-imperial jibes have come back to haunt me! As for knowing, well if you've spent any time in the Maritimes you will have heard the complaints about stealing fish, smuggling, etc ...... The Question: If Earth Caches were still allowed there is one place in Great Britain that realy should have one here, for it was the recognition of what these rocks meant that was the foundation of modern Earth Sciences. What place am I talking about and who did the recognising?
Nediam Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Is it the Dorset coastline? I was thinking of a specific place on that coastline too, or maybe it's the cliffs in Norfolk.

I got the impression there isn;t an earth cacvhe at the 'answer' at the moment, is that right?

+MJB58 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Siccar point James Hutton At Siccar point the lower part of the cliff shows layers of grey shale tilted to lie almost vertically, then immediately above this the upper part of the cliff shows near horizontal layers of red sandstone. This rock formation has became known as "Hutton's Unconformity". James Hutton reasoned that there must have been several cycles, each involving deposition on the seabed, uplift with tilting and erosion then undersea again for further layers to be deposited, and there could have been many cycles before over an extremely long history. It's the way round there no longer being Earth Caches by putting Regular Cache there instead....clever!
