+Beach_hut Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 The Scoville scale measures what? Chilli heat. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 OK, here's one for you... What does the Norwood Scale measure? Quote
+Beach_hut Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 OK, here's one for you... What does the Norwood Scale measure? Bumped with a clue. It relates to the human body. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Ill start at the top. The size of the head? Edited July 30, 2016 by speakers-corner Quote
+Beach_hut Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 OK, here's one for you... What does the Norwood Scale measure? Ill start at the top. The size of the head? Very warm... Quote
+hal-an-tow Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 A warm head ? Could it be wearing .... a hat ? Hat sizes are weird, but I think they are probably simple inches rather than a fancy scale, but I'll say hat. Quote
+Beach_hut Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Another clue - it can't relate to the entire population. Edited July 31, 2016 by Beach_hut Quote
+speakers-corner Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Hmm,head, not hat, amount of hair, baldness? Quote
+Beach_hut Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Hmm,head, not hat, amount of hair, baldness? That's close enough for a ding - the Norwood scale is a measure of male pattern baldness. Quote
+speakers-corner Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Thanks for the ding beach_hut. Where or what is the mandibula. Quote
dodgydaved Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Thanks for the ding beach_hut. Where or what is the mandibula. Lower jaw bone. Quote
dodgydaved Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 DING! for DD Cheers Kidder, How about a location for......... McBurney's Point Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 I seam to remember hearing this term when my son had his appendix out. so my guess will be the appendix location Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 The most southern location on mainland Australia? Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Isn't the mandible the jaw? yes. but that was the last question Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Sorry, forgot to refresh the page before posting. Quote
Pajaholic Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 The most southern location on mainland Australia? That'd be Wilson's Promontory, in Victoria (a couple of hours drive from where my son now lives). That said, it does sound like it should be in Australia, so I'll guess at the most northerly point on mainland Australia! Quote
dodgydaved Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I seam to remember hearing this term when my son had his appendix out. so my guess will be the appendix location A cuttingly good answer from martin&lindabryn. Two thirds of the way down a line between the umbilicus and the superior iliac spine (and I don't think I have trotted that description out since about 1965!) Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks for the ding For winning, which TV game show would you be awarded? A toy, a tankard or the BFH. And for a bonus ding, what was the BFH Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 That sounds like the darts based show "Bullseye". Not sure what the "BFH" was though. Quote
+martin&lindabryn Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 well that didn't take long to get the ding BFH was bus fair home Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks for the ding and for reminding me what the initials BFH stood for. Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Your next question: - Before adopting its current name, which band was known as 'Pectoralz' and then 'Starfish'? Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Quiet on this one... Would you like a clue? Quote
+hal-an-tow Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Quiet on this one... Would you like a clue? Hmm, looks like you've hit a topic which is not a specialist mastermind subject for the usual suspects on the thread ! I dunno, the final 'z' on the earlier name suggests something quite recent, so I'm afraid I can't even make a semi intelligent guess. Quote
Pajaholic Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I've heard the name "Starfish" as a pop rock band, but I can't remember what they renamed themselves to. If pushed, I'd try Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Maroon 5, Coldplay, The Script, etc. Eeny-meeny-miny-moe ... I'll guess "The Script"! Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Working backwards from Pajoholic's post - I will have a go at Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peppers have been around for ever, so not necessary that contempoary, and Maroon 5 - well there's a guess for someone else. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 Well, I did not expect that stab in the dark to successful! You have the choice of two questions, I will accept a correct answer for either: Sticking with the music theme: Where was I this weekend? And hence the late posting of this question. Or Which former member of the excellent Fairport Convention died earlier this year in June? Quote
+RJx2 Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 We saw a small poster on a lamp post today for Lakefest, so we'll try that. Quote
+Boggin's Dad Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 A big DING for Hellfire. It was the great Swarb, who we shall 'meet on the ledge' And of course I was at Fairport's Cropredy Convention. Over to you Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Sorry for the delay in getting back to the forum. Been out all day. My question is; Just a minute or so after midnight, night of December 31st 1984/January 1st 1985, while in Parliament Square, London, what did Michael Harrison do? It was a 'first' for the UK. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Sorry for the delay in getting back to the forum. Been out all day. My question is; Just a minute or so after midnight, night of December 31st 1984/January 1st 1985, while in Parliament Square, London, what did Michael Harrison do? It was a 'first' for the UK. Phoned someone to wish them Happy New Year? with a mobile phone? Quote
+Hellfire1917 Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 That's good enough for me, Marty. He called his father in the first mobile phone call made on a UK network. So that's a *DING* and it's over to you........ Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 That's good enough for me, Marty. He called his father in the first mobile phone call made on a UK network. So that's a *DING* and it's over to you........ I was given my first mobile a couple of years later to be on call for a bank over New Year, and that's the first thing I did with it Anyway, next question: Why was Maria de Cezar in the news in the last few days? Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 That sounds like a Brazilian name. Was she the hockey player whose partner proposed to her after a match? Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 That sounds like a Brazilian name. Was she the hockey player whose partner proposed to her after a match? Part 1, right. Part 2, wrong. This is not an Olympic competitor. Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Okay. In which case how about the bride to be who gatecrashed Dan Walker live on BBC4? (and who has since invited him to her wedding!) Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 It was indeed, so a big Gold medal to Yorkshire Yellow. If anyone's wondering what this is about then have a look here, I think it was really funny and very well handled on both sides: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/37077188 Quote
+Yorkshire Yellow Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks for the ding. Thinking ahead to the paralympics... Channel 4's 'Last Leg' first started as a late night show when the 2012 paralympics were on. The theme music is a version of Public Enemy's 'Harder than you think'. Which song does the sample featured heavily in Public Enemy's come from and who is the vocalist? If you're not familiar with the track, then by all means have a listen to it at Quote
