+Dobunnis Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 My first ever question! How long was the HUNDRED YEARS' WAR? Not 100 years obviously... noone can fight that long. The whole thing occured over 116 years though the 14th and 15th centuries, Helen Quote

+Dobunnis Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 San Francisco ? Nope... I agree it does sound like it should come from there though Quote
+CrazyDruid + Redhead Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Its in London (not far from my x-wifes house) proper name for the park is Little Ilford Park CD Quote
+Dobunnis Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Its in London (not far from my x-wifes house) proper name for the park is Little Ilford Park CD Ding!!!! It is a nickname for Little Ilford Park in the burough of Manor Park, East London near where Steve Marriott, the Small Faces' singer and song-writer, grew up. Over to the Crazy Druid... Helen Quote
+Team Balders Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 It is a nickname for Little Ilford Park in the burough of Manor Park, East London near where Steve Marriott, the Small Faces' singer and song-writer, grew up. A bit of info here (I've since looked it up). The park had a lot of stinging nettles and when the "courting couples" went there to coo, they got stung and became itchy - hence ichycoo Quote
+CrazyDruid + Redhead Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 If you wanted to see Tethys (it has the same name as a Greek titan) where would you look? and what is it? Quote
+Team Balders Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 If you wanted to see Tethys (it has the same name as a Greek titan) where would you look? and what is it? I'd look in the sea (but there again I probably wouldn't find it!) Quote
+CrazyDruid + Redhead Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Nope, you would not find it in the sea Quote

+CrazyDruid + Redhead Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Midnight Cowboy My dad told me the answer, it had Dustin Hoffman in it... Quote
+chizu Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Midnight Cowboy My dad told me the answer, it had Dustin Hoffman in it... DING! Well done, it was released in 1969 when X in the US meant 17 and above. The subsequent association with porn meant that it was regraded to R in 1971 with no cuts or changes. I'll hand the baton back to CD! Quote

Who does he think is going to win this season? Kaz says Alonso is in with a good chance! Now to the next question: Last year I cached in a place which took us very close to The Book of Kells ... where is it currently held? The dong goes to the person who names the building and the place.

+Team Balders Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Trinity College, Dublin? I was going to say that! Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Trinity College, Dublin? Absolutely correct, DING to Woodchurch One! For the record, it was not fully wheelchair accessible either Quote
+Woodchurch One Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 OK. Who died a Queen but would rather have died a Culpepper? Quote
+CrazyDruid + Redhead Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 It was Anne Boleyn's cousin...Catherin Howard...they were both exicuted in the tower of London for Treason...and both married to King Henry VIII. Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 OK. Who died a Queen but would rather have died a Culpepper? Sounds like one of those things one should know, but I have no idea! Quote
Deceangi Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 OK. Who died a Queen but would rather have died a Culpepper? Freddie Mercury from Queen [the band] who wished to be a Beetle [the band], Culpepper refers to one of their songs? Well it's a stab in the dark Quote
+Woodchurch One Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Sorry that I've taken so long to answer but it's a big DING to Crazy Druid. Poor old Catherine was so distraught that she had to be held down in order that the exeution could take place. Not one of the more efficient jobs. Careful with that axe Eugene!!!!!! Quote
Edgemaster Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 It was Anne Boleyn's cousin...Catherin Howard...they were both exicuted in the tower of London for Treason...and both married to King Henry VIII. Legally, they were both never married, both these marriages were annulled rather then divorced. Quote

+kennamatic Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I think they were "Nippies". I assume because they were nipping here and there to serve people. Quote

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Wasn't the Lp chart 50 years old recently? If so, my guess would be Elvis Presley. Quote
+GAZ Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Jimmy Young....The Very Best Of Must be getting closer, surely. Quote
