+speakers-corner Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Thank you for the Ding. Staying with the film, and again another song. Feed the birds ................, what is the rest of the line? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Thank you for the Ding. Staying with the film, and again another song. Feed the birds ................, what is the rest of the line? tuppence a bag. Quote
+koselig Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 That depends which line of the verse you refer to. The most well known line is "feed the birds, tuppence a bag" however later in the verse she sings "feed the birds, that's what she cries" Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I now pass the Ding to Beach hut. Well done Quote
+Beach_hut Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I now pass the Ding to Beach hut. Well done Thanks. OK, slight Julie Andrews-inspired left turn now - who composed the songs for The Sound Of Music? Quote
+koselig Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Rodgers and Hammerstein - usually Rodgers composed the music and Hammerstein wrote the lyrics for their joint works. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 I'm thinking the Sherman Brothers, but was that just Mary Poppins? Quote
+Beach_hut Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 That's the ding for koselig. SP, you're right insomuch as the Sherman Brothers composed Mary Poppins (I almost asked that!). Quote
+koselig Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Ok thanks- who was the oldest child in the Sound of Music? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks for the ding now for a complete change of subject In the Napoleonic wars, why did the French use poodles on the battlefield? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Their coats make good gun wadding, I imagine? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Their coats make good gun wadding, I imagine? Sorry Paul, but that couldn’t be much furfur from the real reason. So no ding for you this time. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Well then. i) They're delicious. ii) As camp guard dogs (as in dogs guarding a camp...) iii) For warmth and 'comfort'. iv) For stereotypically waving in surrender. v) They attract feas away from the soldiers. Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 As beasts of burden? (i.e. 'porters'). Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 None of the above more to do with after a battle Quote

+UncleMalcy Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Hurrah! Thanks for the ding OK a nice easy one, in two parts. (This is a classic pub quiz question). Who was the only British Prime Minister ever to be assassinated, and in which year?? Quote

+UncleMalcy Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I knew it was too easy! ** DING ** to Civilised. Quote
+civilised Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I knew it was too easy! ** DING ** to Civilised. It wasn't that easy - remembering the date was tricky Thanks for the ding At what age could women marry in England in 1928 ? Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I'm going to say 12. Shocking. Edited June 29, 2015 by UncleMalcy Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I think it was 21, when they came of age or if the parents gave thier consent it was 16. So thats what Im going for 21/16. Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I'll await Civilised's answer, but i think the law changed in 1928 or 1929 to raise the age to 16, but I have it in mind that before the law changed it was 12 for girls (I cannot put women) and 14 for boys (men - really?). Quote

+UncleMalcy Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the **ding** So... another two parter... a.. Who invented the giant Laser that Dr Evil planned to use to destroy New York City? b.. On which very famous 1973 album was this "inventor" the sound engineer? Edited June 29, 2015 by UncleMalcy Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks for the **ding** So... another two parter... a.. Who invented the giant Laser that Dr Evil planned to use to destroy New York City? b.. On which very famous 1973 album was this "inventor" the sound engineer? OK, no guesses so far (can't be too difficult??) Hint Dr Evil = Austin Powers' nemesis Quote
+koselig Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I reckon it's Dr Parsons for a but no idea for b. Was hoping someone else would have worked it out by now. Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I reckon it's Dr Parsons for a but no idea for b. Was hoping someone else would have worked it out by now. Well, part "A" is right.... but you'll need that first name to help with the second part!! (and the ding lol). Quote
+TheOldfields Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 No idea really about the actual question as never seen the film, but are you looking for Alan Parsons? Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 No idea really about the actual question as never seen the film, but are you looking for Alan Parsons? Correct! So, who can complete it? Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I'm going to modify the question... On which 1973 album was Alan Parsons (of "The Alan Parsons Project") the sound engineer? Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Might be Dark side of the moon???? Well done. ** DING ** Quote
+koselig Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 A lucky guess. Thanks for the ding. Who sang the vocals for 'have a cigar' from album wish you were here- and why? Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 A lucky guess. Thanks for the ding. Who sang the vocals for 'have a cigar' from album wish you were here- and why? My specialist subject (yay!) The vocal was a gentleman called Roy Harper. The lyrics refer to the early days of the band's history, and their first taste of success. My favourite bit... "The band is just fantastic, that is really what we think. Oh and by the way, which one's Pink?". Classic Roger Waters cynicism. Quote
+koselig Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Question wasn't clear so that's the ding. I had meant why was Harper singing. Legend States the band were unhappy with all their attempts at the vocals so asked the iconic folk singer. Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Question wasn't clear so that's the ding. I had meant why was Harper singing. Legend States the band were unhappy with all their attempts at the vocals so asked the iconic folk singer. That's right... also Harper was cheap and available (they were all at Abbey Road Studios). Thanks for the ding. OK So, still with Pink Floyd... On Meddle, "One Of These Days" is basically instrumental, with one line of lyrics, "One of these days, I'm gonna cut you into little pieces" (nice!). This is the only track where this person sings the lyric alone. Q. Who sings these words? Edited July 1, 2015 by UncleMalcy Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 It was the drummer. Will that do? Can't remember his name. Quote
Pajaholic Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Tony Mason .. or is that the rally driver? If I'm right, I'll pass to Hellfore1917 as I might be off grid for a day or two. Quote
+UncleMalcy Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) It was the drummer. Will that do? Can't remember his name. We'll call that a **Ding**... the drummer indeed, Nick Mason. Over to Hellfire1917 Edited July 3, 2015 by UncleMalcy Quote
