+MartyBartfast Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 that will be the Bronte sisters, and their brother was Branwell It is indeed, another quick DING. Quote

+martin&lindabryn Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Thunder and Lightning? Must be something in the air, as that is another quick ding Quote
+Clue-72 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Thanks for the DING! According to Dr Seuss, what biological shortcoming made the Grinch so mean? Quote

+Hellfire1917 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Clue-72! Right then - according to the bible, how many Wise Men/Magi/Kings were there? Edited December 26, 2014 by Hellfire1917 Quote
dodgydaved Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks, Clue-72! Right then - according to the bible, how many Wise Men/Magi/Kings were there? Did it specify a number - I seem to remember just that they came from the East ? Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 A snowy *DING* to dodgydaved. The bible doesn't say how many. It just says "Wise Men". The tradition of there being three probably comes from the three gifts they brought with them. H Quote
dodgydaved Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Cheers H, OK, what Christmas food is made from Marsh Whorts (other spellings of Whorts may be available!)? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 cranberry sauce, as a chef I should know this. Quote
dodgydaved Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 AS soon as I saw your reply tagged in the forum index I said to myself, "He's a chef, he's got it!" ......and so you have, a sweet succulent DING to you! Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 space and food questions don't last long on this forum. thanks for the ding. staying with Christmas questions. The song White Christmas was first performed in which 1942 film? Quote

dodgydaved Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Sticking with it - "I'm dreaming of a white christmas, just like the ones I used to know!" Everlasting melody and words it would seem - thanks to Bing - BUT, Who wrote it? Quote
dodgydaved Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Irving Berlin That's a huge, cinemascopic all singing, all dancing Irving Berlin of a DING DONG to you!! Quote
+zannieandjazzy Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Well sticking to the Christmas theme... Which actor born on Christmas Day in 1899 will "always have Paris"? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I think that's part of a line from Cassablanca, so I'll have a punt at Humphrey Bogart. Quote
+Clue-72 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Just a wild guess... is it William Wilberforce? Quote

+crb11 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Michael Faraday. (Disclaimer: I work for an institute named after him so I really ought to know this!) Edited December 31, 2014 by crb11 Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I guess it would be rather embarrassing for crb11 if he was wrong, luckily he gets an electrical DING courtesy of some of the work Faraday did. Quote
+crb11 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Thank you! Bringing us up to date: which country will be adopting the Euro as of the start of 2015? Quote
+me N u Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 According to Mrs me N u, who's just been watching the news on TV, its Lithuania. Quote
+crb11 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 And that's a CLINK to you (either festive glasses or freshly minted Euros - your choice). Quote
+me N u Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Just lucky timing when answering the last question, so to change the subject totally. The acronym LASER stands for what? Quote
+crb11 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. (At least if my memory from A level is correct.) Quote
+me N u Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. (At least if my memory from A level is correct.) That's a nice quick DING to you! Quote
+crb11 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 A UK railway station with three words in its name shares two of those words with another three-word station over a hundred miles away. Name them. (There might be more than one answer to this.) Quote
+zannieandjazzy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Ebbw Vale Parkway and Aylesbury Vale Parkway? Quote
+crb11 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 A good thing I put the proviso in. I hadn't heard of Aylesbury Vale Parkway, nor did I think it would be that far to Ebbw Vale, but the straight line distance is 100.2 miles! So a DING to you. I was actually thinking of two much larger and better known stations - anyone want to go for those as a bonus? Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 London Liverpool Street and Liverpool Lime Street for the bonus? Quote
+zannieandjazzy Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 well it depends if we are playing this Family Fortunes style or Pointless! Quote
+crb11 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 That's the pair I was thinking of - easier if you're over this part of the country as Beach Hut is, as a few stations have trains to both. (But over to zannieandjazzy to set the next round.) Quote
+zannieandjazzy Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I have a question but I need to put a picture in - how do I do that? When I press insert picture, it asks me for a URL, but it's a file. Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I upload the pic onto one of my archived caches, and then get the URL from there. Once the pic is uploaded on here you can delete it from the cache page Quote

Once the pic is uploaded on here you can delete it from the cache page Ooh, it is on a cache page already - in honour of the best geoswag EVER... (picked up today near Leith Hill Tower) which UK Christmas special of 2014 did Rudolph (and his colleagues) make a cameo appearance? Quote
+zannieandjazzy Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I'm going to say Doctor Who And that's the last DING of Xmas 2014. Sorry if it was a bit easy, I wanted to show off my Leith Hill swag. Over to a Beach Hut for the next question. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks for the DING! Let's go down the Doctor Who avenue. What distinction do Colin Baker and Peter Capaldi have? Quote
