Team Noodles Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 One of them was the second known voice of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but that hasn't helped me much. It might have helped more than you realise! This made me count, and although I am one short i'll take a shot. Voices of the 7 dwarfs? Quote Link to comment
+Clue-72 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 That's a DING! for Team Noodles! Billy Gilbert - Sneezy Pinto Colvig - Sleepy and Grumpy Otis Harlan - Happy Roy Atwell - Doc Scotty Mattraw - Bashful Eddie Collins - Dopey Quote Link to comment
Team Noodles Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 That's a DING! for Team Noodles! Billy Gilbert - Sneezy Pinto Colvig - Sleepy and Grumpy Otis Harlan - Happy Roy Atwell - Doc Scotty Mattraw - Bashful Eddie Collins - Dopey Sweet! Staying with the theme(ish): Which one of the dwarfs would UK cachers connect to a well known series of caches and lot of statistics? :D Quote Link to comment
+Clue-72 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Would it be Doc - for drsolly's Chiltern Hundred series? Quote Link to comment

+RJx2 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 We thought drsolly and his Chiltern Hundred series was a good guess. If it's incorrect, then we know that there is a cacher called BaSHful, but we don't know how it fits with a cache series or the statistics. Quote Link to comment

Bashful does the techie stuff behind the stats page for the Church Micro series. Quote Link to comment

+MartyBartfast Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 What TV program used (maybe still does FAIK) Soul Limbo by Booker T & the MGs as it's theme tune. Quote Link to comment
+MTH Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm not sure the BBC show much cricket these days, but it used to be the theme music to the Test Match coverage, Quote Link to comment

+MTH Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 A youth spent watching cricket on TV when I wasn't outdoors playing cricket or watching other sport on TV. In a similar vein, and because it's one of the best theme tunes ever, Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks.is credited with which classic C4 theme tune from the 1980s. Quote Link to comment

Just a guess but "Countdown" Quote Link to comment
+MTH Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm not sure Countdown would qualify as one of the best theme tunes There's a clue in my first sentence - it's more of a sporting theme. Quote Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sport, Channel 4, 80s... All I can think of is Channel 4 Racing (horses), but I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This is a bit scary as my first thought was Countdown, then C4 racing, maybe we're all being assimilated !!! Anyway I'll have a way out guess at "Gamesmaster", it's kind of sport related Quote Link to comment
+MTH Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 None of those. It's a sport C4 started covering in the 1980s, but is now on ITV4. To get a quick Ding, Great Britain has become rather good at this sport in the last few years! Quote Link to comment
+Beach_hut Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The Tour de France coverage? Well, cycling generally! Quote Link to comment
+MTH Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The Tour France gets the Ding. C4 started coverage in about 1985 or 86. Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen are still covering it now! over to beach_hut Quote Link to comment

+Beach_hut Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Bumping with a clue. The year was 1988. This particular achievement can't happen every year... Quote Link to comment

+Beach_hut Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Gave birth on two Friday 13ths in a year? Good thought but nope. It's related thematically to the previous question. Quote Link to comment
+The Duckers Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Did she win sporting medals for both former East Germany and Unified Germany in that year? Quote Link to comment

It's related thematically to the previous question.Cycling can make your bits burt. Giving birth twice in a year hurts...? Ok, I missed there was a link. Since German reunification happened in 1990 (the wall 'fell' in November '89) I know the Duckers can't be right. '88 was an Olympic year though, so did she win every Olympic heat and race she entered that year? (Doesn't quite fit with the wording of the question though. Humm...) Quote Link to comment
+Beach_hut Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Olympics is getting warm. It's nothing to do with nationality. It's just dawned on me that it's also something that can no longer be achieved. Edited September 23, 2013 by Beach_hut Quote Link to comment

It's just dawned on me that it's also something that can no longer be achieved. I probably wont be getting anywhere but it might help someone else: as it's an Olympic year I am guessing she competed in both Summer & Winter Olympics that year. That was I think the last or second to last year before they switched it to the 2/4 year alternating scheme. Quote Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'd not thought of that. I think 1992 was the last time both were run in the same year. So did the lady in question win medals (gold?) in both competitions in 1988? Cycling and... Skiing? Quote Link to comment
