+kennamatic Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 7 is Billy Bragg, 'The Short Answer' and it goes: No amount of poetry will mend my broken heart but you can put the hoover round if you want to make a start (got to be in the top ten ever best lyrics).

+Dobunnis Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Thank you... now I have to think of a question! OK... We just held an event in Malvern and annoyed everyone there with a quiz about the hills (Hill, Spring or Bobbins it was called). So, without searching the web... If you look due east from Worcestershire Beacon, the highest point on the Malvern Hills, what is the next set of "hills" that are higher. A hint: you cannot see them because they are too far away, Helen Quote
+Dobunnis Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 The Urals? That was a quick DING! You should have come to the event yesterday, you might have won (although I hasten to add that the quiz was a multi-guess to do with names of the local hills and springs) Over to Ec... sorry, dodgydaved, Helen Quote
+Pharisee Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 A similar piece of useless trivia.... There's a cache on a hill(?) in Cambridgeshire where the nearest, higher 'ground' to the north is the North Pole! Quote
dodgydaved Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) The Urals? That was a quick DING! Helen A sort of half lucky guess......I had a mate who lived in a hillside in Grenoside near Sheffield - he always used to say the next high ground to the east was The Urals OK....easy one to move things along: There are four British drivers taking part in the 2008 Formula One championship. Lewis Hamilton, David Coulthard and Jenson Button are three of them, but who is the other one? Edited May 20, 2008 by dodgydaved Quote

+Pharisee Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 VVVrrrooooommmmm...../VVVrrrooooommmmm.........VVVrrrooooommmmm........DING! Over to you J! OK – Lets see if any of you are old enough to remember these old TV ‘Westerns’ 1) First an easy one – Rawhide. We all know that Clint Eastwood played the character Rowdy Yates but what was his job title in the series? 2 & 3) Wagon Train What was the name of the Wagon Master played by Ward Bond? And who played the scout Flint McCulloch? 4) Who played the lead role in the series ‘Cheyenne’? 5) Bret and Bart Maverick had an English cousin… What was his name? A Ding to whoever gets the most correct answers or the last correct answer if it’s a tie. Quote
+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 1. Rowdy Yates - I think he was a Drover! 2. No idea 3. Clint Walker - Cheyenne Brodie 4. No idea Quote
+Pharisee Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 1. Rowdy Yates - I think he was a Drover!2. No idea 3. Clint Walker - Cheyenne Brodie 4. No idea 1)... He might have been a drover but that wasn't his 'job title' 3)... 99% right, it was Clint Walker but the character was Cheyenne Bodie 1 ding to TLHM Quote
+The Blorenges Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I'm old enough to remember them... I loved westerns when I was little (littler than I am now ) I used to like Sugarfoot/Tenderfoot too... and Wyatt Earp and Bonanza. But as I was just a kid I never paid much attention to the detail - never thought I'd be tested on them 40 years on MrsB Quote

Izzy and the Lizard King Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 It's been a while since I last looked at the quiz but when I looked a few minutes ago and saw these questions I suddenly felt OLD! Here are the results from the Wolves jury:- 1 Rowdy Yates was a Ramrod (a bit like a foreman) 2 Ward Bond played Seth Adams and 3 Robert Horton was the scout 4 Cheyenne Bodie was played by Clint Walker 5 The cousin was Cousin Beau played by Roger Moore Hugh O'Brian played Wyatt Earp in the TV series and he carried a Buntline Special etc.....oh how I loved those 50's/60's series P Quote
+Pharisee Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 2).......Seth Huston?4).......Sinclair 2) Seth... Yes, Huston... No Hmmm..................Horton Close, Dave... It was Seth Adams and Robert Horton player 'Flint McCulloch' Quote

Over to you for the next question Quote
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I'm going to stick with the western theme. We all know that the Lone Ranger rode a horse called Silver but who can tell me the names of the horses ridden by the following:- 1. Tonto 2. Rowdy Yates 3. Range Rider Same rules - DING to the most correct or to the last one in the event of a tie. Quote

Range Rider Same rules - DING to the most correct or to the last one in the event of a tie. 1) I think Tonto's horse was called 'Scout' 2) Not the foggiest 3) The Range Rider (Jock Mahoney) had a 'sidekick' named Dick West but no idea what his horse was called.

Izzy and the Lizard King Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 1. Tonto's horse was Scout - a little ding to Pharisee 2. ? 3. ? Quote
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 1. Tonto's horse was Scout - a little ding to Pharisee 2. ? 3. ? I think it's time to give some clues to help. 2. Rowdy Yates' mount could be described as a 'Dark Horse'. 3. The Range Rider's horse should have been appearing in the same TV programme as Rowdy Yates. OK let's have some guesses. Quote

Izzy and the Lizard King Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 1. Tonto's horse was Scout - a little ding to Pharisee 2. Rowdy Yates' horse was indeed Midnight - another little ding to Pharisee 3. ? Will Pharisee make it the treble or is someone else going to steal? Quote

Will Pharisee make it the treble or is someone else going to steal? That was a complete 'stab in the dark'...... Yeah, ok, I'll get me coat I have no idea what the last answer is and I'm off to Cornwall shortly so I'll have to leave that and subsequent question to someone else Quote
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 3. My Little Pony? (quick guess while Paul's not looking) Izzy Quote
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 With Izzy on our pub quiz team you can understand why we never won! Anyway because Pharisee has gone west the big DING will go to who ever gets the answer to No.3 and to help things along here is a slightly adjusted clue:- The Range Rider's horse should have appeared in the same TV programme as Rowdy Yates.

+kennamatic Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I'll have guess. It's Anne Boleyns brother and he married Catherine Parr. No idea of his name. Let's say, James Boleyn. Quote
