+speakers-corner Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Chelsea? Stamford Bridge is their grounds. Sorry, wrong. Chelsea was founded in 1905, there are older Clubs out there. Quote
dodgydaved Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I will have a punt at (Woolwich) Arsenal, Emirates, Highbury and somewhere in Woolwich! Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 My immediate reaction in seeing the question posted was that it would probably be one of the more minor clubs (there are plenty in London!). Not sure which though. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Curlingfan11 is close with Fulham but the club I'm looking for is 19 yrs older. Yorkshire Yellow is on the right track (or rather field). A hint: The club is !!!! !!!!!!!!! and their grounds are at !!!!! !!!!. Just fill in the ! with letters and you've got it. Quote
curlingfan11 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Cray Wanderers, and their ground is Hayes Lane? Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 And the ding goes to curlingfan11. Cray Wanderers was founded before 1860, but there are only records dating from 1860. The club is still active. Quote
curlingfan11 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Thanks. Here's an easy one. What country dominates curling? Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 If ist just the UK then I think it is Scotland. If not then I think it is Canada. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 And the ding goes to curlingfan11. Back to Football again. Name the oldest club (Football League) still playing in England and the year they were founded. Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I think that'll be Sheffield FC but I don't know the year. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Have a guess, its less than 1860 (Cray Wanderers). Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 You are that warm, and going in the right direction Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 And the DING goes to Yorkshire Yellow. Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Here's your next one - Marvin Lee Aday is better known as...? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Just gonna make wild, though obvious, guess: Lee Marvin ?? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 with, Bat out of hell, now in my head, that will be Meat Loaf Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Thanks for the ding no how about a picture round can you name this place and where it is? Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 A lucky guess. Leave me a while to work out a new question. Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 'Xanthophobia' is the fear or what? Quote
curlingfan11 Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Thanks. What is an ocarina? Edited June 18, 2016 by curlingfan11 Quote
Pajaholic Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 AKA a "sweet potato", it's a musical instrument shaped a bit like an egg with a projection to form a mouthpiece. The body has finger holes. The instrument is played by blowing into the mouthpiece and changing the pitch of the sound by covering and uncovering the finger holes. Quote

curlingfan11 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Ding! Sorry, didn't look at his for a while! Quote
Pajaholic Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I don't know what's going on here, but for days my post followed curlingfan11's question in my view of the thread. Today, I got notification that radicalmm had posted twice after curlingfan11 had given the ding -- yet one of his now appears before my reply and the other after; and both before curlingfan11's I'll set the next question on the basis that one of radicalmm's posts gave the ding to me -- and hope that I'm not stepping on someone's toes! Continuing with the musical theme: Christian Fredrick Martin, Bob Taylor, Orville Gibson and Clarence Leonidas Fender are all famous for the same thing. For the ding, what is that thing? Quote
Pajaholic Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Close enough. They all founded major guitar making companies. Over to subay... Quote
+subay Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Thankyou, still on a musical theme, an instrument was donated to a London Station, what was it and who donated it? Extra ding for the station! Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Thats easy, a piano played by Elton John at St Pancras Station. I saw the videos of him playing it back in February this year. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Thanks for the Dings. George Formby - what musical instrument did he play and name one of the famous songs he had written. Quote
radicalmm Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Ukulele? A famous song is Leaning on a Lampost Quote
