Pajaholic Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks! I think that was more a massive hint than a good guess! Staying with Crystal Palace: they used to play in claret and blue, colours that (at least) three English football teams currently play in. For the ding, name two of those teams. Quote
+crb11 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Aston Villa and West Ham are two. Don't know the third. Quote
Pajaholic Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 DING! FWIW, Burnley are the third. Over to crb11 Quote
+crb11 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 What links Ilfracombe, Glastonbury, Swindon, Banbury and Daventry? (Not football this time.) Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 having worked on Lundy island and saled from Ilfracombe I think the link will be the A361 road Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 thanks for the ding change of tack and a foodie question the spice "mace" comes from the same tree as which other spice? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 We think it might be nutmeg. that gets a quick ding over to you Quote
+RJx2 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Thank you! What is called a "nutmeg" in some sports? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Isn't that kicking a ball between your opponent's legs then running round the side to pick it up? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Picture round. Who made the film which this is a still from? (bonus for naming the film too!) Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Georges Melies, Man in the Moon do I get the smiley for spotting the 35mi film pot? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 That's right and here's your smiley Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 thanks for the ding and the smiley In which year was Barack Obama inaugurated as American President? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Ding Ding 2009 (He won the election in 2008, presidents are not inaugurated until January) Quote
+crb11 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 When written out in words, what is the smallest (whole positive) number to contain a letter A? Quote
Pajaholic Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks! I'm not into football, but a colleague is a Burnley fan. He suggested the following question ... Blackburn Rovers won the FA Cup three seasons in a row starting in 1884, a feat for which they were given a unique privilege. For the ding, what is that privilege? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Allowed to display the club crest on its corner flags and given a silver shield I am doing well for local questions, as I was born in Preston Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 thanks for the ding Which iconic gadget was first released on November 10th 2001? Quote
Sharpeset Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks - better have a music question: In 1985 I bought my first CD. It was by an artiste with the birth name Helen Adu. By what name is this singer better known? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Echo Echo echo echo echo echo echo echo... Quote
Sharpeset Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) That's a DING for Beach Hut Edited October 7, 2014 by Sharpeset Quote
+Beach_hut Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Hehe thanks. Sade arugably reached the peak of her career in 1984 - but what was the biggest selling single of that year? (In the UK) Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Gonna guess at the Band Aid single - We are the world, which was around that era. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Gonna guess at the Band Aid single - We are the world, which was around that era. Of that Artist/Song combo, one of those two is right, one is wrong. I'll need both the correct song title and band name for the ding I'm afraid... Quote
+Clue-72 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 It must be Band Aid - Do They Know It's Chrismas (Feed The World) then. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 It must be Band Aid - Do They Know It's Chrismas (Feed The World) then. And there's the Ding! Quote
+Clue-72 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks for the DING! Which successful 1970s TV show started life under the working title "The Alley Cats"? Quote
+speakers-corner Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I remember this. Charley was heard from but never seen. Charlies Angels was the Name of the Show. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Thank you. Dorset has an unofficial name 11111-country, there is a Monument near Weymouth with the same name but is for another person. Who am I looking for (first and last name)? Quote
+crb11 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Thomas Hardy, I assume. (I found the virtual near his cottage on holiday there last year.) Quote
+speakers-corner Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Ding, and for a bonus point, do you know who the Monument is for? Quote
+crb11 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Thomas Hardy? Someone in the military, I think, but I can't tell you more than that. Picking up a theme: in the Radio 4 quiz show Brain of Britain, what do you have to do to be awarded a bonus point? Quote
Sharpeset Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Thomas Hardy? Someone in the military, I think, but I can't tell you more than that. Picking up a theme: in the Radio 4 quiz show Brain of Britain, what do you have to do to be awarded a bonus point? I'll claim the bonus - it's Admiral Hardy as in Nelson saying "Kiss me Hardy" as he lay dying on HMS Victory (or was it Kismet?....). No idea about the new question Quote
+Beach_hut Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Thomas Hardy? Someone in the military, I think, but I can't tell you more than that. Picking up a theme: in the Radio 4 quiz show Brain of Britain, what do you have to do to be awarded a bonus point? Answer 5 in a row :-) Quote
+crb11 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Ding! Had a feeling you might know that one, Beachhut. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Ding! Had a feeling you might know that one, Beachhut. Hehe thanks. I half expected you to say "You get a DING, a book token, and this round of applause...." Who presents Round Britain Quiz? Quote
+crb11 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 The name I associate is Gordon Clough, but it's someone different now. Quote
+Hampk Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I believe it to be Tom Sutcliffe.. To add some interest to the previous question, I am a former pupil (very former!) of Hardye's Grammar School for Boys in Dorchester - not a million miles from either Hardy's Monument or Hardy's Cottage.. Yes, there was a third Thomas Hardy, and they were all related..! Quote
