+Hellfire1917 Posted December 26, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment
dodgydaved Posted December 26, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment
+Hellfire1917 Posted December 27, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment
dodgydaved Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Cheers H, OK, what Christmas food is made from Marsh Whorts (other spellings of Whorts may be available!)? Quote Link to comment

dodgydaved Posted December 29, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment

+MartyBartfast Posted December 31, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment

+me N u Posted January 1, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment

+crb11 Posted January 2, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
+zannieandjazzy Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Ebbw Vale Parkway and Aylesbury Vale Parkway? Quote Link to comment
+crb11 Posted January 2, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
+Beach_hut Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 London Liverpool Street and Liverpool Lime Street for the bonus? Quote Link to comment
+zannieandjazzy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 well it depends if we are playing this Family Fortunes style or Pointless! Quote Link to comment
+crb11 Posted January 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
+zannieandjazzy Posted January 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
+martin&lindabryn Posted January 3, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment

(picked up today near Leith Hill Tower) which UK Christmas special of 2014 did Rudolph (and his colleagues) make a cameo appearance? Quote Link to comment

+Beach_hut Posted January 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted January 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
+Beach_hut Posted January 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
