+Guanajuato Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Can you name the deepest Scottish loch and deepest English lake? Wast Water is definitely the deepest lake in England, unless you're being pedantic and claiming its a 'water' rather than a lake. So I'll guess at Loch Lomond for the Scottish Loch Quote
+chizu Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Loch Morar is the deepest Loch in Scotland, I only know this because of my "Stones of Scotland" Cache! So I assume Wast Water is the deepest in England! Edited for spelling! Edited July 27, 2007 by chizu Quote
+JackieC Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Loch Morar is the deepest Loch in Scotland, I only know this because of my "Stones of Scotland" Cache! So I assume Wast Water is the deepest in England! Edited for spelling! Thats a DOUBLE DING for Chizu. Loch Morar is 309m at its deepest (whereas loch ness is 203m and loch lomond 150m). Wastwater is 76m at its deepest. Over to you Chizu. Quote
+chizu Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 After seeing Transformers tonight, I feel another 80s toys based question coming on: What was Optimus Prime's motto according to his tech specs on the back of the box? Quote
+chizu Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 After seeing Transformers tonight, I feel another 80s toys based question coming on: What was Optimus Prime's motto according to his tech specs on the back of the box? no children of the 80s in here then? It was actually quoted in the new movie, for those who have seen it. Quote

SlytherinAlex Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 OK - bearing in mind the previous question. what do the following stand for.... ONAN ONAF ANAF OFAF ONWF KNAF This one comes up in pub quizzes all the time so it's really easy. The letters are of course acronyms of different cooling processes for power transformers. OK, so I googled the answer but it's been three days now and the quiz was in danger of grinding to a halt. An easy one to follow. Who is this and what was his claim to fame? alex Quote

+JackieC Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 So why weren't they called Laddie? I always thought it was because the male dog must be easier to train! BUT having googled it it seems to be all down to size and coat. The male is larger (which makes the child actor seem small and therefore younger) and the male doesn't tend to shed quite as much coat as the female (better for continuity apparently!) Its amazing what useless information you can find on google! Quote

Aaaaaaaaaaaah - but there's the link.... won't say what it is, though - that'd be as bad as Googling it. Edited August 5, 2007 by keehotee Quote
+chizu Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Peter Davidson. He played Dr Who and narrated Button Moon A semi ding as the link is Peter Davison,but he didn't narrate Button Moon..... Full ding to whoever gets the correct BM connection. Quote

Nediam Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Oh, didn't realise that was the answer Thought it may have just been a clue. OK next question.... What important member of the British government drowned when the HMS Hampshire got sunk after hitting a mine in Scapa Flow, Orkney in 1916? Quote

+JackieC Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) I seem to remember Harry getting OUTSTANDING for defence against dark arts in book 6 (half blood prince) cause I re-read it before the last one came out. I think thats the best result, but I can't remember the rest, sorry! Edited August 7, 2007 by JackieC Quote
