SlytherinAlex Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 It might me Al Martino, but maybe that was the first single to top the charts. Quote
+rutson Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I think they were "Nippies". I assume because they were nipping here and there to serve people. Thats a DING!! Over to you kennamatic Oh! By "first half of the 1900's" you meant "post 1926", I wish people would be clearer :-$ Quote
NickPick Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Oh! By "first half of the 1900's" you meant "post 1926", I wish people would be clearer :-$ Which half of the 1900s is 1926 in then? Quote
+kennamatic Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Val Doonican....The Very Best Of Am I close? Am I? Am I? Go on, tell me I'm close!! No, you're not! Quote
+kennamatic Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Wasn't the Lp chart 50 years old recently? If so, my guess would be Elvis Presley. Just over 50 years ago, July 1955. But Not Elvis Quote
+kennamatic Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Jimmy Young....The Very Best Of Must be getting closer, surely. Closer to what? I'm afraid it wasn't Jimmy Quote

(25 past midnight as I write this!) No to both, and it wasn't a "best of" either. Hope you slept well! :D Quote
+kennamatic Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 It might me Al Martino, but maybe that was the first single to top the charts. You're right. that was the singles chart! I think it was Spanish Eyes. Quote

+Simply Paul Posted April 17, 2007 Author Posted April 17, 2007 Oh! By "first half of the 1900's" you meant "post 1926", I wish people would be clearer :-$Which half of the 1900s is 1926 in then?(Technically 'The 1900's' (sic) ran from Jan 1st 1900 to Dec 31st 1909. 1926 is in the 1920s. Now, if you'd have said the first half of the 20th century, that've been fine...) Quote
+rutson Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Quite, during which time they were called "Gladys".... Quote

+minxyy Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Sorry slow popping back in! Here's the question? "What's Dr Seuss' full name and which year did he first get published?" 'Thinking caps on' Quote
+B1gbear Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Sorry slow popping back in! Here's the question? "What's Dr Seuss' full name and which year did he first get published?" 'Thinking caps on' The cap is half on! I'll try this Theodor Seuss Geisel and his first book was published in 1937, now did you mean his first book or his first work to be published? Quote
+minxyy Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Ding ding to the big blue bear over to you his first work published was 1936, but won't quibble as I wasn't explicit Quote
+B1gbear Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 OK folks here is my teaser- At this place you can find a section of the Berlin wall and the original map used by Wellington at Waterloo. Where can you find them?? Quote

+The Forester Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I asked one of my military students about the map. He says it's at the REME regimental museum in Arbourfield. Quote
+B1gbear Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I asked one of my military students about the map. He says it's at the REME regimental museum in Arbourfield. Getting warmer!! Quote
+The Forester Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 D'you want a Lat/Long? My student is very well trained in Advanced Land Navigation and now knows how to produce GPS-quality co-ords without GPS! Quote
+The Forester Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 My stude now says that his former Regiment's museum is in Gillingham, not Berkshire. Berkshire -> Kent. Not much difference! Gawd'elp us! The guy is ex-REME and is a newly qualified nav instructor in Mobility Troop of a special forces unit. If my stude's wrong again I shall take the pi§§ out of him mercilessly. If my stude's right, I shall give way to CurryKev as I think he meant Royal Engineers Museum when he answered "REM". Quote
+B1gbear Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Chattenden Barracks in Kent? very warm indeed Quote

BTW if I hide a cache in Kent and asked your student to look for it in Berkshire would that wind him up??? Quote
+The Forester Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 if I hide a cache in Kent and asked your student to look for it in Berkshire would that wind him up??? Nope, but if any of my studes ever made as big a gaffe as that in the field, it sure as he11 would wind me up! He'd have failed the course and perhaps been returned to the REME. Oh, the horror, the horror. Quote
+goldpot Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 OK folks here is my teaser- At this place you can find a section of the Berlin wall and the original map used by Wellington at Waterloo. Where can you find them?? Platform 2 of Waterloo station Quote

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Someone please wake me up when the next question comes ... Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Well according to their website these articles are to be found at the Royal Engineers Museum and Library, which is in Gillingham, Kent If this is right then the DING should go to Forrester 'cos he's aready said it! Quote
+The Forester Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Smee? OK. This is a two-part question; each part is a clue for the other: The delightfully named Sir Cloudesley Shovel is best remembered for what event? What world-changing endeavour resulted? Quote
+The Blorenges Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Smee? OK. The delightfully named Sir Cloudesley Shovel is best remembered for what event? What world-changing endeavour resulted? Sir Cloudesley managed to wreck his ship the "Association" (and a good portion of the British fleet) off the Isles of Scilly. Resulting in the Admiralty flinging up their arms in horror and saying, "We must solve the problem of accurately determining longitude!" - Leading to Mr Harrison and his fabulous chronometers. (combined Blorenge effort) Quote
