+martin&lindabryn Posted November 17, 2015 Share 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?"

+MartyBartfast Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Picture round, here's a detail from a famous picture, what's the title, and who painted it? Quote Link to comment
dodgydaved Posted November 17, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Correct so far, if nobody gets the name of the picture by this evening you can have the ding.... Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted November 18, 2015 Share 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.

+Yorkshire Yellow Posted November 20, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment

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 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I believe a 'spurtle' is a porridge spoon, so I will guess it is for a porridge eating competition. Quote Link to comment

+Pajaholic Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Close enough for the DING! AFAICT, for the first time for quite a while, the tallest man-made structure is not a guyed mast. The Burj Khalifa took the record in 2010. Over to Yorkshire Yellow Quote Link to comment
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Okay - thanks for that. I'll have a think and see what question I can come up with. Quote Link to comment
