+Yorkshire Yellow Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Sorry for the delay - Christmas visitors using the bedroom where we have our PC. That's a DING! for you, Boggin's Dad. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Thanks for the DING. A lucky/educated guess there A return question - what are the three peaks in the Yorkshire Three Peak Challenge? Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Ingleborough, Pen y Gent & Great Whernside. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 That's a Ding, Ding, Ding for each of those answers. Over to the Yorkshire one Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks Boggin''s Dad. Which company, originally known as "Seikikōgaku kenkyūsho", is now known by the Anglicised version of the name of one of its early products? Quote
dodgydaved Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks Boggin''s Dad. Which company, originally known as "Seikikōgaku kenkyūsho", is now known by the Anglicised version of the name of one of its early products? Looks as if it ought to be be SEIKO Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I only just spotted this question. I'm a camera freak and I think the answer is CANON. Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks for the DING. Which British rock band's first three singles were (1) a Chuck Berry song, (2) a Lennon and McCartney song and (3) a Buddy Holly song? Quote
Pajaholic Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I suspect that Hellfire1917 is looking for the Quarrymen (who, as a different lineup, later became the Beatles). Their first recording included Buddy Holly's "That'll be the Day" and an original by George Harrison and Paul McCartney. As just about every band of the late 50's covered at least one of Chuck Berry's songs (Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, etc.), I suspect that one of the Quarrymen's first three would be a Chuck Berry cover. Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Sound thinking, but not what I was looking for. The band in question's first three singles all made it into the UK charts at 21, 12 and 3. And they were all released under the same band-name. Edited January 3, 2016 by Hellfire1917 Quote
Pajaholic Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I just checked my Buddy Holly collection for inspiration and discovered that he wrote "Not Fade Away", which I previously thought was a Jagger-Richards composition. On that basis alone, I'll guess it's the Rolling Stones. Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) *DING* Rolling Stones it is. The three singles are: 1 "Come On" - Chuck Berry 2 "I wanna be your man" - Lennon/McCartney 3 "Not Fade Away" - Buddy Holly Edited January 3, 2016 by Hellfire1917 Quote
Pajaholic Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks. Staying with the musical theme -- for the next ding, name the resonator guitar and lap steel player who won the Country Music Association's 'Musician of the Year' award in 2002, 2005 and 2007, who co-produced the BBC 'Transatlantic Sessions' with fiddler Aly Bain, is a regular member of the band 'Union Station' and who made a cameo appearance in one of Dave Carroll's 'United Breaks Guitars' protest trilogy. Quote
Pajaholic Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Eek! What's a country 'god' got to do to become known to the masses?!? About the only clue I can give is a link to Dave Carroll's site, but first it's probably worthwhile reading about Dave Carroll's experiences from a business relations point of view. Here's the link to Dave Carroll's site. No Googling, but please feel free to follow any links on either of the pages I've linked above Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Jerry Douglas? (...found in comments on the third YouTube video, have to admit I've never heard of him. Good story though.) Quote
Pajaholic Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) A good story indeed. Dave Carroll offered to accept the $1,200 cost of repair to his guitar in flight vouchers. United refused and the resulting bad publicity wiped about 10% (about 180 million dollars) off the value of United's shares. DING. Over to TheOldfields Edited January 7, 2016 by Pajaholic Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Shouldn't that be a twang rather than a ding? On to sport. What is the only football club to have won the FA Cup but never played in it since? Quote
Sharpeset Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Shouldn't that be a twang rather than a ding? On to sport. What is the only football club to have won the FA Cup but never played in it since? I'll hazard a guess at Wimbledon? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Didn't an Army team win it in the very early days, I'll guess the Royal Artillery. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Would it be a team such as Cambridge University? Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Until Saturday at least, Arsenal Is it Royal Engineers? Quote
+TheOldfields Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 A ding for Beach_hut for spotting that Arsenal haven't played in it since they won it last year. All yours. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 A ding for Beach_hut for spotting that Arsenal haven't played in it since they won it last year. All yours. Thanks for the ding. Apologies for not checking back sooner, shows my confidence in my answer! OK then, staying with the theme, who's the only non-league team to win the FA Cup (obviously not counting before there was a league)? Quote
+Beach_hut Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Spurs in 1901? A Lillywhite DING for you :-) Quote
+MTH Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the ding it's one of those facts I just know. A bit like asking which team held the FA cup for the longest continuous time, but we've had that before! . Sticking with the FA cup, which team has won the competition the most times? Edited January 10, 2016 by MTH Quote
+MTH Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Arsenal gets the ding. Last year was their 12th win. Thought I'd balance it up a bit! Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Thank you for that ding What name is Shirley Crabtree better known by? Quote
+speakers-corner Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I know that one. The answer is Big Daddy. Loved watching him and his tag partner Giant Haystack. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 In the speakers corner, A Big Daddy Ding-ding-ding End of round one Over to you Quote
+speakers-corner Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks for the Ding. Round 2. Staying with wrestling. Mick McManus was another famous wrestler. What was his real Name? Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Oops. Misread the question. Please ignore me! Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Although I watched the wrestling every week (and knew the Shelly Crabtree answer), the only chance I've got with Mick is to guess, and the only guess I can think of is: That is his real name, Michael (Mick) McManus. Quote

Sorry, no Ding there. Try again. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Heres a tip. His Initials are W. G. M. Quote
+Heath_Land Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Heres a tip. His Initials are W. G. M. William George Matthew. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 And the Ding goes to heathland. Well done, over to you. Quote
+Heath_Land Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 In ancient Greece, what was a Petasus? Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Is it an object of some sort? Quote
Pajaholic Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I'll guess that it's some sort of bread (and that "pita" derives from it). Quote
+Heath_Land Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 It is an object but it can't be eaten Quote
