+Boggin's Dad Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I will have a go in the middle with 1908 Quote
+Simply Paul Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 I'll take a punt at 1906. Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I'll take a punt at 1906. in that case I will try 1907 Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 And that's a DING for martin&lindabryn. 1907 it was. Over to you. Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks for the ding on that guess. As it’s the anniversary of the start of the blitz. Let’s have a war question Which food stuff not rationed during World War 2 was rationed afterwards? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I will guess potatos Yes it is a staple of the British diet, but not potatoes. Quote
dodgydaved Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I will guess potatos Yes it is a staple of the British diet, but not potatoes. I'll have a crack at bread....... Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Then it must have been stale bread if it cracks. But it’s the right answer and the ding is all yours Quote
dodgydaved Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Food rationing came to an end, formally, in July 1954 - but what was rationed in UK between late 1956 & 14th July 1957 & why? Quote
+koselig Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Sounds about the right time for the Suez Crisis and fuel rationing. Quote
dodgydaved Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Sounds about the right time for the Suez Crisis and fuel rationing. Yup koselig - reet fuelled up tha art!! Quote
+koselig Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks for that. A question from a quiz I was at a few weeks back. What is the link between Charlie Chaplin, James Brown and Dean Martin? Quote
Sharpeset Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I know that Charlie Chaplin died on Christmas Day so I'll guess the others did too Quote
+koselig Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Yes, that is the ding- they all died on Christmas Day- as did Eartha Kitt Quote
Sharpeset Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Yes, that is the ding- they all died on Christmas Day- as did Eartha Kitt Thanks - what is the collective noun for ferrets ? Quote
+koselig Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Yes, that is the ding- they all died on Christmas Day- as did Eartha Kitt Quote
Sharpeset Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Not sure why Koselig has reposted the previous Ding - but here's the next question in case you missed it above: what is the collective noun for ferrets? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I think that's a stink of ferrets Quote
Sharpeset Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 not the answer I'm looking for I'm afraid (I did google to check in case, and can't see stink mentioned anywhere as an alternative) Quote
+koselig Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Not sure myself why my previous pist appeared twice. Sorry about that. I think it's a business of ferrets. Quote
Sharpeset Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 No worries - especially as you get the DING Quote
+koselig Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks- on the subject of ferrets what is the name for a spayed female ferret? Quote
+The Puffins Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks- on the subject of ferrets what is the name for a spayed female ferret? A female ferret is a Jill but becomes a Sprite when spayed. Quote
+koselig Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Indeed it does- Puffins over to youI Quote
+The Puffins Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Back into history we go ... Who designed and made the modern zip fastener, when and where? Edited September 17, 2015 by The Puffins Quote
+The Puffins Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Thomas Eddison? Sorry. Not the answer I was looking for. Edited September 22, 2015 by The Puffins Quote
+koselig Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Think it's a Scandinavian kind of name but an American. Also think it was called something else before zipper but other than that don't know. Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Back into history we go ... Who designed and made the modern zip fastener, when and where? I think we're going to need a clue, if we're going to have a chance of getting this one. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Back into history we go ... Who designed and made the modern zip fastener, when and where? I think we're going to need a clue, if we're going to have a chance of getting this one. Well I googled it days ago and I've never heard of either of the two people cited as the inventor on wikipedia, I'd never get it even with a clue. Quote
BOBBLES WORLD TOUR Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Back into history we go ... Who designed and made the modern zip fastener, when and where? Jonathon Thomas? Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Would it help to move things on if we just agreed that Joluc, as the last person to post before this thread stalled, sets a new question? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Would it help to move things on if we just agreed that Joluc, as the last person to post before this thread stalled, sets a new question? Like that idea Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Would it help to move things on if we just agreed that Joluc, as the last person to post before this thread stalled, sets a new question? Gets my vote. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I think this thread is dying, and I am going to try and give a kiss of life, with a question that hopefully some one will know the answer to: What happened on 21st October 2015? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 We all will have went to various Geocaching events to celebrate Back to the Future day as it's the date Doc brings Marty back to in BTTF II. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 DING That's got this ball rolling again Over to you Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Sticking with the Sci Fi theme (ish) A Rock musical, based on a sci-fi film, which itself was based on a Shakespeare play. Name all three..... Quote
Sharpeset Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Prepare for Reverse Polarity...the three would be.. Return to the Forbidden Planet, Forbidden Planet, and The Tempest. Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 So glad to see that this thread has been revived! Quote
Sharpeset Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks Marty, Liberty Bell was the theme song for which TV show? Quote
Pajaholic Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Monty Python's Flying Circus is probably the most famous. Quote
Sharpeset Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Monty Python's Flying Circus is probably the most famous. That's the DING Quote
Pajaholic Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks. Hopefully another easy one to keep the thread rolling: Who composed the Liberty Bell march? Quote
