+The Blorenges Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Well I googled No2, Meteor Street and got the answer but am none the wiser. Never heard of it!!! I won't post it as the answer though!! Chris Quote
+chizu Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 My favourite, Spaced! Yay that's a DING! to SP. We never saw it originally, then got hooked a few weeks ago thanks to Virgin Media's on demand thingummy-bob - classic, I'd recommend it to anyone. The question is SP, which character are you most like? Quote
+2202 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 In the absence of SP, I'll set a question that I would have precluded SP from as he should know it. Picture Question. What iconic 60's image has been much copied, and whose main prop, another modern icon, (a bastardised copy itself), but has since been much copied. A ding for the image and a ding for the much copied prop, and a further ding if you can show a copy of the image. Quote
Sharpeset Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 In the absence of SP, I'll set a question that I would have precluded SP from as he should know it. Picture Question.

A ding for the image and a ding for the much copied prop, and a further ding if you can show a copy of the image. Sandra thinks it might be the Beatles Abbey Road album cover with them crossing the road on an outsize Zebra. Quote
+2202 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Good try Sharpeset, for indeed that has been much copied but where's the prop? Not the one I'm after. Quote
+celebr8 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) Is it the Che Guevara image? Edited May 26, 2007 by celebr8 Quote
+2202 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Is it the Che Guevara image? No, its close to home. Quote
+2202 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) Closer to home, than the purveyor of 15 minutes of fame. Remember, its a copied icon, with an equally much copied icon prop.........you may even have some in your home. Edited May 26, 2007 by 2202 Quote
+The Bongtwashes Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 What about the iconic KAR120C, and it's prop Patrick McGoohan? (Based on the reference to SP. Is he a copy of Number 6?) Quote
+2202 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 No, no and no. Its all on display in one of the great London Museums. And think.........why should SP know about this! Quote
+2202 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) First real clue..........its black and white, but the prop now comes in many colours but white tends to be favourite. (the Marriane Faithfull suggestion was warmish though Edited May 27, 2007 by 2202 Quote
+2202 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Is it an item of clothing? No item of clothing is involved Quote
Nediam Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Is it an item of clothing? No item of clothing is involved Is it the Christine Keeler photo of her sat astride a chair? Quote
+2202 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 A Big Fat DING to Nediam The iconic image is indeed Christine Keeler sat on a copy of Arne Jacobsen's 3107 chair Original to left, copy to right....IKEA, MFI, John Lewis etal all now sell copies. with one of the many copies............. Full story can be viewed here at the V&A Quote
Nediam Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 OK, as it's the Monaco Grand Prix today the next question is racing related.... Nice and simple, name the race circuit shown below.... Quote
+2202 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I thought Silverstone, but then I thought SPA, the best circuit of all ecept Uncle Bernie does not like it Quote
Nediam Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I thought Silverstone, but then I thought SPA, the best circuit of all ecept Uncle Bernie does not like it Sorry, nope to both. Quote
+The Blorenges Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I'd go with 2022 and say Spain as well..... Chris Quote
Nediam Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 I'd go with 2022 and say Spain as well..... Chris Errrr, yes, it is Spain (Circuit de Catalunya). But 2202 never said Spain Guess the DING! goes to The Blorenges (although they do appear to have Googled ) Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 (although they do appear to have Googled ) Like everyone keeps F1 track layouts in their head. Looks like we are getting off the "pub quiz" level of questions again these last couple of weeks. a. Quote
Nediam Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 (although they do appear to have Googled ) Like everyone keeps F1 track layouts in their head. Looks like we are getting off the "pub quiz" level of questions again these last couple of weeks. a. It was a genuine pub quiz question! We had a similar one a few weeks ago where we had to name the 5 outlines of different tracks. I just used an online version of one of the tracks used. There are loads of international racing meets, not just F1, at various tracks, and a lot of racing fans can recognise tracks Besides, there was nothing stopping anyone from posting several guesses. I guess the Blorenges thought 2202 had already said Spain and that they Googled it to confirm? Quote
+The Blorenges Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Well, yes, I did think Spain and checked that it was so assumed that 2202 should get the ding for it - I assume SPA meant Spain - can't think what SPA stands for otherwise! So 2202 you can have my Ding. I can't think of a question anyway.... Chris Quote

Chris Spa is Spa-Francorchamps, in Belgium Anyway, no harm done I'm off out now, to a pub quiz actually , So if you or 2202 want to post a question then feel free Quote
+Simply Paul Posted May 27, 2007 Author Posted May 27, 2007 I'm back! Proper pub question. What's the UK's most popular name for a pub? Should be easy! Quote

+Simply Paul Posted May 27, 2007 Author Posted May 27, 2007 I'm back!Proper pub question. What's the UK's most popular name for a pub? Should be easy! The Red Lion? Dingaroonie to chizu. There are more Red Lions than anything else. Odd, given lions aren't indigenous to the UK, and they aren't red. Quote
+chizu Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Ok then - what is a SPURTLE used for? I'm away until Wednesday night so if anyone wants to Google to check someone else's answer, you can award the ding in my absence! Quote
+chizu Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Stirring porridge? OK that didn't last as long as I expected - a scottish DING to Mr Eck! Quote
+Eckington Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 OK another genuine pub quiz question:- Where would you most commonly find the inscription ’Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants’? Quote
+2202 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Well you could not buy a pint of beer with it these days if you were in said pub quiz. Quote
+Eckington Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 On a two pound coin? A big DING, if you'll pardon the expression Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Thanks! What recently brought Adam Smith into the public eye? Quote
