+maxkim Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I am the beginning of eternity, Followed by half a circle, Close on by half a square. Through my fourth my fifth is seen, To be the first in every pair. My sixth begins my seventh, The end of time and space. Now fit my parts together and a ding you will receive. Quote

+rutson Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Ooops! Sorry :-$ Which female artist has had only two UK top 50 hits, both of which won Grammys? Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 After keeping us waiting for days for a new question he comes up with a stinker like this. I can see Rutson taking some flack over this. Quote
+JackieC Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I've been trying to think of one hit wonders in the UK (cause of the top50 bit), but popular in the US. Can't think of many though How about................. Kim Cairns (Shes Got Betty David Eyes) Quote
+rutson Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 GOOD ANSWER! Wrong, but a good answer ;-) Quote
+JackieC Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I'm not giving up that easily , how about ANITA BAKER Quote

+rutson Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Another good answer. This one gets a DING though :-D Quote
+JackieC Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Wow! That was a complete guess. Third time lucky, eh! OK, here are four tartans, names please. Ding goes to the last correct answer. CLUE: They aren't clan tartans (eg MacLaren) they're generic tartans from Scotland. 1. 2. 3. 4. Have fun!!! Quote
+scanker Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Pants. Unless they're tartan1, tartan 2 etc the filenames hold no clue! I can't say I know many none clan tartans except the Blackwatch and it isn't one of them. Is one St Andrew's, if such a thing exists - I know there's a St David's Welsh tartan. Quote
+JackieC Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Pants. Unless they're tartan1, tartan 2 etc the filenames hold no clue! I was wondering if anyone would try that. You must be good at puzzle caches! I can't say I know many none clan tartans except the Blackwatch and it isn't one of them. Is one St Andrew's, if such a thing exists - I know there's a St David's Welsh tartan. No, sorry, none of the tartans are Blackwatch or named after a saint. They are definately scottish though. Clues: one is named after a film, another an annual event, another is a song title and the final one is the same name as a motorway services! Hope this helps. Quote
+scanker Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 one is named after a film - Braveheart another an annual event another is a song title - Auld Lang Syne same name as a motorway services! Quote
+JackieC Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Well done, one correct. a 1/4 DING to scanker Tartan No.2 is called Braveheart. So all we need now is the song, the services and the event! Quote
+chizu Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 Edinburgh Tattoo? Scotch Corner?????? Scotland the Brave ???????????????? Quote
+JackieC Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Flower of Scotland? CORRECT, Number 1 is called Flower of Scotland A 1/4 DING for Naffita Edinburgh Tattoo? Scotch Corner?????? Scotland the Brave ???????????????? One correct chizu, heres a 1/4 DING for you too. Tartan number 3 is called Edinburgh Military Tattoo Just number 4 left, its same name as a motorway services (although you will know it by its old name) Whoever gets this gets the winning DING. Edited August 25, 2007 by JackieC Quote
+JackieC Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 We've shuddered to a halt, So to get things moving again here is a recap of all the clues for the last tartan: Its the name of a motorway services (Scottish) You will probably know it by its old name, not this one NEW CLUE : another name for it would be "centre of the country" Whoever gets this get the winning DING.
