Ding for that Not wanting to be funny or anything, but you do realise you're not supposed to use google (or any other search engine) for this quiz don't you? If you knew the answer then I apologise wholeheartedly, but I though it odd that a schoolkid from Canada would have heard of Blaster Bates, let alone recognised him from the description.....

curlingfan11 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) I used to live in the UK. I was interested in that stuff for some reason. Question: What Chinese last name is related to 'Mark'? Edited June 7, 2016 by curlingfan11 Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 No idea, but I'll have a guess at Wang. Quote Link to comment
curlingfan11 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Looks like this question is stumping a lot of people. Here's a hint: All the letters you need is there, except one. Eliminate one of the letters there, and you will have an answer. Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 As the 'r' is hard to pronaunce in the Chinese language and all the letters are there, I would say it is Mak. Quote Link to comment

+speakers-corner Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks for the ding curlingfan11. I forgot to look at the Forum yesterday. Change of subject and going with football. Name the oldest club in London and the name of their grounds. Quote Link to comment
curlingfan11 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Chelsea? Stamford Bridge is their grounds. Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Chelsea? Stamford Bridge is their grounds. Sorry, wrong. Chelsea was founded in 1905, there are older Clubs out there. Quote Link to comment

dodgydaved Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I will have a punt at (Woolwich) Arsenal, Emirates, Highbury and somewhere in Woolwich! Quote Link to comment
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 14, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted June 14, 2016 Share 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.

curlingfan11 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Cray Wanderers, and their ground is Hayes Lane? Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted June 14, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment
curlingfan11 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thanks. Here's an easy one. What country dominates curling? Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If ist just the UK then I think it is Scotland. If not then I think it is Canada. Quote Link to comment
curlingfan11 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Ding! Canada is the answer Quote Link to comment

+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I think that'll be Sheffield FC but I don't know the year. Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Have a guess, its less than 1860 (Cray Wanderers). Quote Link to comment
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 It can't be much earlier - 1858? Quote Link to comment

+speakers-corner Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 And the DING goes to Yorkshire Yellow. Quote Link to comment

Pajaholic Posted June 19, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment
