The All New All New Groundspeak UK Pub Quiz


Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the title or not (but it's certainly a line) "Up Up and away" and it was used in the Nimble adverts.

 

Right bread, correct about the balloon but wrong song. That's the Fifth Dimension. This was more to do with bees and public transport!!

If nobody else gets it soon, then you cam have it as it's pretty close.

311311222114 - if right I will admit to a ver quick bout of google to find the answer

 

Correct. :)

 

A long while back, when this UK Pub Quiz started out, the original OP posted

 

Rule 1 - No googling!

 

Rule 2 - Try and keep your question at the level someone in a pub quiz might be able to answer.

 

As it hasn't been re-iterated for a long time, there's no reason why Misty Minou (who's fairly new to posting in this forum) should have been aware of the "no googling" rule guideline but I've put it up as a reminder for those still playing along!

 

Over to you for the next question, Misty Minou. :D

Oer sorry about that! I'll know better for next time. :anicute:

 

Onwards to my question:-

 

In First Aid what is the current sequence of CPR?

 

2 breaths, 30 chest compressions, or it was 3 years ago when I did the last course

I was taught the other way round - 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths.....on the assumption that there's already enough oxygen there initially, but nothing pumping it around?

Posted

According to the last First Aid instructors update I recieved it is as follows:

30 compressions to 2 breathes for adults and children if there is only a single F/Aider present.

In the case of children it is preffered that 15 compressions to 2 breathes is used on children

 

It has changed so many time over the 33 years that I have been qualified that every time I do any teaching I have to check.

Tea pot

I have just redone my first aid requal and its 30 compressions to 2 breaths at a rate of 100 compressions per minute, but this has since changed to 120 per minute. The only difference is for a drowning where it is 5 breaths first then 30 to 2

Any chance of a new question? :)

 

Somebody else can pick this up....I'd forgotten all about it, and I'm having a brain-fade day/week/year*

sorry but your all wrong. velcro was given to mr hienz cro by an alien from the planet vel 6th planet orbiting the tibirian sun in 276th galaxy when there craft crash landed near area 51 in 1958 but they could not tell us the truth so the authorits came up with the cover story that you have mentioned above. The vels used it as a floor covering and on there boots to combat weight lessness in space travel as they could't pronounce seifjnosiuhvbouzdbvuidiubvnndiv (alien name) they decide to call it velcro :P

DING!

 

Nattybooshka ur correct......your turn :)

Yay! I had another answer... but couldn't put it in the forums!

 

Sticking with Tennis...

 

My father played at Wimbledon, and I too was a promising youth player... aged 16 I moved to the USA for top standard coaching. A career change and my band have sold over 100 million albums. Who am I?

DING! Torben holds the record of being the oldest Davis Cup player of all time... But is probably more remembered for being a hippie before it was defined. Lars a very decent junior chose a different path... Didn't turn out badly!

 

Over to you for the next one!

I'm going to take a stab at Mercury. Because IIRC he stole fire from the Gods (though I may have made that up in my head).

That's what I recalled too... Of course we could have just had the same Latin teacher! We're on the next question though.

And here's me thinking I'm a Genius!

 

Who is/was Farrokh Bulsara?

I suspect thehaliobutkid is replying to the previous Q, but has coincidentally answered this one too!

 

Farrouk Busala was the real name of Freddie Mercury, who was originally from Zanzibar.

DING DONG! Sorry, was a fan of Mastermind where each general knowledge question was related to the last.

 

Marty it's all yours for a full answer! Freddie Mercury... Can't believe it's been 20 years! Bonus point for answering the question I was going to ask... Where was he from?

 

Your question.

Well sticking with the idea that the next question is connected to the last:

 

Who was the taxi driver who won Mastermind in 1980 and became a minor celebrity & some time TV presenter.

Fred Housego

 

(Spelling may not be correct!)

Posted

Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar. He was my childhood hero and I worshipped him.

 

The mastermind question I do not know the answer to, although I bet I'd know if it was an Eggheads type choose one from three.
