+drdick&vick Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Just read the original post and all that seems different is that the questions seemed easier and it was a bit haphazard but as somebody pointed out on there a few times' it's only a bit of fun' Quote Link to comment
+Slytherin Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I'm thinking that its Eastergate Bridge and the nearest cache is Eastergate Rock, a really fine cache. Quote Link to comment

Yes, that's correct, so a big ding to you. I'm surprised you knew the answer, it was soooooooooooo difficult. Quote Link to comment
+Slytherin Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 There seems to be some whining about the questions recently, so here's a REALLY easy one. Faking your one death seems to be technically referred to as pseudocide - what are these other "cides"? Acaricide Barbicide Deicide Tomecide Uxoricide Quote Link to comment

+jerryo Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yes, that's correct, so a big ding to you. I'm surprised you knew the answer, it was soooooooooooo difficult. Of course it was for a pub quiz. There seems to be some whining about the questions recently, so here's a REALLY easy one. Why can't you just set a question without having a snipe just because someone tries to get the thread back on topic? Don't answer that. It was a rhetorical question and it's off topic. Carry on: Uxoricide: wife killing. Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Pestacide ??? Killing of a God Something to do with books?? Wife killing my poor old eyes do not like the small print in my old ref books these days and the books are fading as I don't normally use them nowadays what with Wikipedia and other online info services, but as the rules say no Googeling I presume that included Wikipedia type services.

+chizu Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I set this question a few weeks back - barbicide is the killing of head lice by a barber! Quote Link to comment

+drdick&vick Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Ok reasonably easy one Where is this strange 'Castle' and which cache is nearest to it? Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Ok reasonably easy one Where is this strange 'Castle' and which cache is nearest to it? By checking the Exif data to see when it was taken, and then looking at your profile to see which caches you did on August 24th I deduce that it's: Redruth, and "Views over Redruth" Edited October 4, 2008 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Gice you that one, it's Carn Brea Castle which is now a restaurant. DING and over to you How did you check the Exif info?? Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Gice you that one, it's Carn Brea Castle which is now a restaurant. DING and over to you How did you check the Exif info?? Save the image locally, then depending on what OS you're using various tools will show you the Exif data, probably right clicking the image and choosing properties will show everything, including what camera you used, what exposure settings were chosen, etc... Next Q: What was the name of the ship from which the sniper fired to kill Admiral Lord Nelson? Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Having done quite a lot of silly research into the naval battles of that time, thats a bit easy but I will leave it for another. No doubt someone will get it soon. Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Oh well if nobody else wants to answer. The 'Redoutable' was the name of the ship. Quote Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've a feeling it was 'Them!', with the giant killer ants. Not sure why I think that, but it's possible I read a PJ interview somewhere. Quote Link to comment
+Handsyhands Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Them! would be a great remake especially if associated with GM foodchain to make it more topical and I believe the Blob was poorly redone in the 80's but both wrong. Quote Link to comment
+Handsyhands Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Day of the Triffids was a terrific film and definately worthy of a remake but errrr Nope! I know what you mean about Shrinking Man, there were quite a few films like this about which couldn't strictly be classed as horror but they were still scary, Nope again! Quote Link to comment
+Handsyhands Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Far too early, it's all about the long slow build up of suspense before reaching a final, terrifying climax! Quote Link to comment

+jerryo Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Are most people going to have heard of this? They're more likely to know this than the name of a specific poxy little bridge in the middle of nowhere and that of a nearby cache What's this emo , by the way, and why would I use it? I just did 'cos it felt right. Oh, the quiz: no connection to insects? How about arachnids like Tarantula? Quote Link to comment

+chizu Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Wonder if it's a zombie film like Night of the Living Dead that I've heard rumours about a remake but I'm sure that was made in the mid-60s? Quote Link to comment
+jerryo Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 <snip> Just to be clear, I asked as a way of trying to work it out, not as a criticism. A lot of the questions here are too difficult for me but I thought I might be able to get this one. I don't think anyone would think you were being critical. I was before, but I'm having a nice day now Another guess: King Dinosaur? As in where's that king dinosaur? It is a film, though. Quote Link to comment

DA-DA-DAAAAAAA DING Sorry folks, I should have responded sooner but my flippin PC decided to throw a wobbly and the hard disk has failed. It's at the PC fixing shop at the moment and I've managed to get onto another one for a few minutes. The correct answer was the 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' I'm handing over to the Spokes before I lose this connection it's been fun - Hope to be back soon!

+The Spokes Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Oh No That was a complete guess as it did not have Vincent Price or the other nasty's in it. OK to continue the film theme Robert Donat bowed out of this Warner Brothers film in 1935 allowing the kick starting of the carrier of which actor? Film and actor please. But as its easy, also the film MGM made in shortly before in the same year, that inspired Warner Brothers to make the above film. So two 1935 films, and an actor Edited October 8, 2008 by The Spokes Quote Link to comment
