+MartyBartfast Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Well Colin Baker appeared as a baddie before he was cast as The Doctor, so I'll guess Peter Capaldi did too. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Well Colin Baker appeared as a baddie before he was cast as The Doctor, so I'll guess Peter Capaldi did too. That's a quick DING for you. Peter Capaldi was a Roman Centurion in a David Tennant story. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks, sticking with the Roman theme who would have used a Groma (or Gruma). Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks, sticking with the Roman theme who would have used a Groma (or Gruma). That would be a Gromaticus - a surveyor. HF Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks for the ding. OK - the road called Ermine Street ran between the Roman settlements at Londinium and Eboracum. What are the modern names for these places? HF Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 And it's a Dingus Maximus to you, crb11. Over to you. Quote
+crb11 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Following on with the same theme: what is LXV multiplied by XXXI? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Completely in my head, I think it's MMXV Quote
BOBBLES WORLD TOUR Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Marty is correct. 2015. Completely on my calculator. Quote
+crb11 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 A belated DING - sorry, completely forgot to come back and check this. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I'm a polymath, born around 287BC in Syracuse, Scicily. Who am I? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Eureka, your turn (of the Archimedes screw?) Quote
Pajaholic Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks! Staying with the Greeks, which king was condemned to forever push a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down? Quote
+crb11 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 What were the names of the three children in "My Family"? Quote
Sharpeset Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 What were the names of the three children in "My Family"? Mikey, Nick and Jane/Janie Quote
Sharpeset Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 A triple DING to you! Why thank you, thank you, thank you! Sticking with the theme: what are the names of the three children in 'Outnumbered'? Quote
Sharpeset Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Ben, Jake and Karen. Ding, Ding and thrice Ding! Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Why thank you. Let's play a game of "what am I?" I'm a four-legged animal. I have a unique feature in that when I walk, the two legs on the left hand side of my body move in unison, then my right. (If you think about how a human walks, when you put one foot forward, the opposite hand moves in unison. This one and only animal walks differently.) What am I? Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 A Giraffe. And that's a DING for MartyBartfast! Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 What's the common name for the tree Araucaria araucana? Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I think that's the monkey puzzle. Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks. Knew that one due to the Guardian crossword setter who used Araucaria as his 'nom de puzzle'. Next - which Lord of the Rings actor's father is a major rock star? Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks. Knew that one due to the Guardian crossword setter who used Araucaria as his 'nom de puzzle'. Next - which Lord of the Rings actor's father is a major rock star? Liv Tyler was in the Lord of the Rings films, I believe? Her father is Steven Tyler of Aerosmith Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Would get you a 'turned up to 11' DING. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks, and sorry for the delay. Next question, which Doctor Who actor appears in the Hobbit films? Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Had his face clear pretty much immediately but have finally managed to recall the name... Sylvester McCoy. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Had his face clear pretty much immediately but have finally managed to recall the name... Sylvester McCoy. That's the fella. Over to you. Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Ta. How much is the rent in Monopoly if you land on Park Lane with a hotel built on it? Quote
+Pharisee Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Ta. How much is the rent in Monopoly if you land on Park Lane with a hotel built on it? At a guess... £2000 Quote
+me N u Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 £1800 ? We think £2000 is for Mayfair with a hotel. Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 You're right about Mayfair, but £1800 is still a bit high for Park Lane. Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 You win second prize in a beauty contest and get an unmortgaged ding for £1500. All yours. Quote
+crb11 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Something cheaper now: you could get one for 7/6 pre-decimalisation, and it was almost unchanged in price until its abolition in 1987. What was it? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Just a guess, but is it the dog license Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 thanks for the ding Here is a list of first names, what do they have in common? William Patrick Jon Tom Peter Colin Sylvester Paul Christopher David Matt Peter Quote
+crb11 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 All actors who played Dr Who. (A bit easy given Sylvester McCoy was the answer a few back...) Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 almost left that one out, the ding goes to crb11 Quote
