Chudley Cannons Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) No doubt whatsoever... Winston Churchill. (whoops... I guess he was dead at the time) Bobby Moore holding the World Cup aloft was the other one maybe? Edited January 27, 2009 by Chudley Cannons Quote
+keehotee Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 He was still alive for the first half of the 60s.......? Quote
+Von-Horst Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 A long shot, but; John Noakes and Shep? Some other Blue Peter connection perhaps? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 Half a DING (a DI, if you will) to careygang for Gypsy Moth IV and Sir Francis Chichester, who was only seen as a blob on it, but as there was only one person onboard... That was 1967. Churchill was on a stamp, in 1965, but that was after he'd died. No astronauts, Blue Peter presenters or footballers I'm afraid. Nor Lady Di, John Lennon or a Pope. And yes, two people, two stamps. The second is from the 90s, I think. Quote
Chudley Cannons Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Was is Roger Taylor? The drummer not the crappy tennis player. Technically Queen, but not HM the Queen. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 Was is Roger Taylor? The drummer not the crappy tennis player. Technically Queen, but not HM the Queen. That's quite a guess! Yes, it was Roger Taylor, behind Freddie Mercury, on a stamp issued after the singer's death. NG and therefor the Ding! to either careygang or Chudley Cannons. But which is best? Fiiiiiiiight! Quote

Not a guess, the stamp was mentioned in a documentary about Freddie Mercury that I watched a couple of days ago. Funny how stuff like that rings a bell. Apparently Freddie Mercury was a keen stamp collector. I'm fine with careygang taking it. unless he wants to take me on at Quidditch, although to be fair we haven't won much since 1892. Quote

Chudley Cannons Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 OK, let's run with this one: Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the two vegetables? Quote
+rutson Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 What are the two vegetables? Hmmm... asked around the orifice and the consensus seems to be there are more than two! Rhubarb, asparagus and some broccolis seemed common answers. Quote
+keehotee Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Potatoes reseed themselves if you leave them in (or put them in the compost bin) Asparagus definitely. But asparagus is a grass - does it count as a vegetable any more than a fruit would? Artichoke Onion Garlic Quote
+The Blorenges Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I'd go for potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes. (Together, in soup, with a little grated cheese on top perhaps?) MrsB Quote
+chizu Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I'd go for potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes. (Together, in soup, with a little grated cheese on top perhaps?) MrsB Potatoes are tubers, do they count as vegetables? Quote

+careygang Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Rutson appears not to be paying attention, so as co-correct answer with Chudley the last time around, I'm going to take the liberty of keeping this going. World Geography - What is the 'Sea of Cortes' more often known as? Quote
+keehotee Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 It's the bit between Baja and the Mexican mainland - can't remember it's name though... Quote
+Pharisee Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 It's a bit of the Pacific Ocean, isn't it? Quote
