SlytherinAlex Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 It's a little bit obscure, so I'll offer a clue. It's a club shirt, and one you might get as a Christmas present. Quote Link to comment

Just kidding How long is the Suez Canal ? ( to the nearest 5km) Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 How long is the Suez Canal ? ( to the nearest 5km) Been through it at least a dozen times - but absolutely no idea how long it is..... I do know it's just about the most boring waterway in the World, and if you pay off during the transit it'll cost you your taxi fare and at least two cartons of fags just to get to the airport alive......

+dino-irl Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 As I passed on a previous Ding I'll jump in with a Music Round 1. He was born with a passion, love and hate A restless spirit with a need for a mate But there was somethin' that was missin', somethin' lost So he came with the answer, here's what it cost 2. She says we gotta hold on to what we've got. It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not. We got each other and that's a lot for love. We'll give it a shot. 3. And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle No flowers no wedding dress 4. I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez I want a tan where the sun, it never shines I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez You best believe it that I go to get away 5. She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Name the artist and the song title. Last person to name the last artist/title gets the ding. I won't be online much today so if someone knows that all the answers are correct feel free to award the Ding Quote Link to comment
