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).

 

He is a great lyricist. My favourite is the line from New England. "Though I put you on a pedestal you put me on the pill."

Does anyone know the morse code distress call for "I appear to have ants crawling across my screen!" :blink:

5. Lutetia Parisiorum - could it be Paris?

7. Aelia Capitolina would be Jerusalem

 

I used to live in Camulodunum the original Roman capital of Britain,

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,

The Urals?

 

That was a quick DING!

 

You should have come to the event yesterday, you might have won :huh: (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

 

 

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 :laughing:

 

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?

Anthony Davidson... He lives just down the road from me in Hemel Hempstead. Currently contracted to the Super Aguri team but they didn't race in the last GP.

VVVrrrooooommmmm...../VVVrrrooooommmmm.........VVVrrrooooommmmm........DING!

 

Over to you J! :laughing::laughing:<_<

 

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.

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

I'm old enough to remember them... I loved westerns when I was little (littler than I am now :laughing: )

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 :laughing:

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

Splendid... you've got them all correct, so a four point DING to you as TLHM had already got Clint Walker.

 

Over to you for the next question :)

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.

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.

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.

2. Hmmmm Blackie? :unsure: No? All right... How about Satan? ;)

 

MrsB

 

Both wrong, sorry. Your first thought was more along the right lines.

 

P

 

 

Ok then, how about 'Midnight'?

Pharisee

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?

 

That was a complete 'stab in the dark'...... Yeah, ok, I'll get me coat :grin:

 

 

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 :huh:

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.
