I used to be a football fan before I decided I preferred Rugby League. I remember when this team played in the World Cup finals, I think it is Peru shirt.

Are you sure? I would have said it was a Peru shirt too, so googled to check, and it is.

Yes, I'm wrong. I stitched the wrong jpeg into the picture. It IS Peru.

 

So, over to the Biffas for the next question.

Been through it at least a dozen times - but absolutely no idea how long it is.....

I do know it's just about the most boring waterway in the World, and if you pay off during the transit it'll cost you your taxi fare and at least two cartons of fags just to get to the airport alive...... :unsure::(

I've been through it twice - and to show my age...... it wasn't that long after we fought Egypt for it!! I remember the lakes took ages to cross. Guess to start things going 100Km.

162.2km (100.8m) according to 'Micropedia of World Facts' - A book I happen to be sat next to tonight. Page 87, if you're wondering/want to check that I didn't google and own the same book.

As I passed on a previous Ding I'll jump in with a Music Round

 

1.

He was born with a passion, love and hate

A restless spirit with a need for a mate

But there was somethin' that was missin', somethin' lost

So he came with the answer, here's what it cost

 

2.

She says we gotta hold on to what we've got.

It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.

We got each other and that's a lot for love.

We'll give it a shot.

 

3.

And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat

We went down to the courthouse

and the judge put it all to rest

No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle

No flowers no wedding dress

 

4.

I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez

I want a tan where the sun, it never shines

I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez

You best believe it that I go to get away

 

5.

She's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything

Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

 

Name the artist and the song title. Last person to name the last artist/title gets the ding.

 

I won't be online much today so if someone knows that all the answers are correct feel free to award the Ding :P

Know two of them.

 

2 - Living on a Prayer, Bon Jovi

5 - Sweet Child of Mine, Guns n' Roses. A friend at school many years ago put this in as a coursework poem for GCSE Literature. He got an A as the teacher didn't have a clue! Its not just current kids who plagiarise - its just easier now.

 

[Edit - Doh, beaten to it, and forgot to remove the quote!]

2. Bon Jovi, Living On a Prayer 2 x DING to chizu

3. Bruce Springsteen, The River 2 x DING to kennamatic

4. Aerosmith, Permanent Vacation 2 x DING to Ayondin

5. Guns N Roses, Sweet Child of Mine 1 x DING each to NickPick and Ayondin

 

which just leaves No 1:

 

He was born with a passion, love and hate

A restless spirit with a need for a mate

But there was somethin' that was missin', somethin' lost

So he came with the answer, here's what it cost

 

Remember 1 ding for artist or band and whoever gets the last gets to ask the next one :P

Ok, is it over to me?

 

For the ding, please name the subject of Dublins newest statue and what nickname it is known by.

 

The only Irish statue I know of is "The Floozy in the Jacuzzi", I think it's of Molly Malone, but I think it's a pretty old one so probably not right.

Molly is The Tart with the Cart. I've never heard of the Trollop one before.

 

Just looked up Phillo's and I never heard that either so I would have been a loooooong time guessing B)

Something with the base then? I think that's what he played...Face with the base?

 

Ness.

 

Sooooooooooo close!

 

a** with the Bass (doesn't really work but it might do with a Dublin accent begorrah).

 

Edit to add some smarty pants bit of software put the ** in automatically but I guess you know where I'm coming from :o

Maybe he meant áss and not ace. In which case Rutson should get the Ding.

Surely that's the decision of the question setter? :o

So opinions are no longer welcome on Gc forums? figures.

I don't see where I said that!

 

Is my opinion any less valid than yours simply because I disagree with what you posted?
