+Pharisee Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Sorry... Made a complete "pig's ear" of that, didn't I? I just went to the last post and not right back up the pages. Didn't think that there'd be so many replies so quickly. OK... by my reckoning TLHM get the first DING for Mycroft Holmes Simply Paul gets the second DING for Groucho Marx (pity he can't spell 'Groucho', though ) Mrs B gets the last two DINGS for Bertie Wooster & Jeeves Over to you, Mrs B Quote

+The Blorenges Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Oh well... As nobody has leapt into the breach while I've been away, I might as well take my turn and put a question up How about some interesting words? The ding goes to whoever provides the final answer. 1. What C is the name of the french-speaking inhabitants of Louisiana? 2. Which word of Hindu origin means "dust coloured"? 3. What is a galah? 4. What in Ireland is a loy? 5. What is a filibeg? Remember - No googling allowed! MrsB Quote

A Fid is a tool used by ropemakers & sailmakers for enlarging a hole so that rope/cord can be passed through it, e.g. when splicing a rope. Hope I've been quick enough this time !!!! Quote

+MartyBartfast Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Dingettes so far: 1. Tequila sunrise - WavendonWilliams 2. Gin Fizz - TLHM (see below) 3. Harvey Wallbanger - Ayondin 4. Screwdriver - Ayondin 5. 6. Pinacolada - TLHM 7. Black Russian - Nediam 8. Blue Lagoon - Mrs B 9. Whiskey Sour - Mrs B 10. Margaretta - TLHM Number 2 was a Tom Collins, however I see now that the main differences between a Tom Collins and a Gin Fizz are the Tom Collins is served over ice in a tall galss, but as I left out those details it could also be a Gin Fizz. So we're just looking for number 5, and it's another 'classic' not one of the silly modern ones with rude names ; it can also be made with Brandy, Cointreau (or triple sec), and lemon juice.
