dodgydaved Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Right a blast from the distant past (sort of) many, many years ago in a galaxy far, far away the Mekon lead the Treen warriors, but whose deadly enemy was he? Quote

Try to escape the peacekeepers abroad a ship named Moya Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 That was Farscape. (and having googled it I now see Molesworth battled the Pukon and his Treens, Dan Dare was before my time ) Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 that's a far out ding for you and while on the subject one of my favorite lines from the series Sikozu: "Do you have any plan of escape?" Aeryn: "Run" Sikozu: "Anything more detailed?" Aeryn: "Run quickly" Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Picture round, here's a detail from a famous picture, what's the title, and who painted it? Quote
dodgydaved Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Its a Van Eyck - a portrait of a bloke and his wife - but I can't remember their names without googling (I was at School with Richard Cork, sometime art critic of the Times!) Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Correct so far, if nobody gets the name of the picture by this evening you can have the ding.... Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 OK DDD gets the DING, it's variously referred to as "The Arnolfini wedding portrait", "The Arnolfini portrait" or "The Arnolfini wedding" , painted by Jan Van-Eyke, an interesting picture for various reasons. Quote
dodgydaved Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks Marty - for what World Championship Event might The Golden Spurtle be awarded? Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks Marty - for what World Championship Event might The Golden Spurtle be awarded? My initial feeling was that it is for the gurning championships, but thinking about it now, it sounds a little bit Harry Potter-esque! Quote

My initial feeling was that it is for the gurning championships, but thinking about it now, it sounds a little bit Harry Potter-esque! Great minds think alike, as I was also thinking Harry potter, but as I am away for the next week decided not to enter this one, so I googled the answer and I would not have guessed the true answer.

+Boggin's Dad Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I believe a 'spurtle' is a porridge spoon, so I will guess it is for a porridge eating competition. Quote
dodgydaved Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I believe a 'spurtle' is a porridge spoon, so I will guess it is for a porridge eating competition. Close enough for the MacDing - porridge making Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks for the MacDing I have remembered that I answered this time..... So here is my question: In which game would you find 'Jake the Jailbird'? Quote
