(Sorry to wander off topic. I'm sure Keehotee will put us back on it shortly)

Staying slightly off topic. The last thread was closed when it reached 80 pages. We are now on 79 pages with this one. It will be interesting so see what happens when we get to 80.

 

a.

 

It would indeed.

Must be close to Page 80 now. :laughing:

 

You need some sleep, mate. It's late. :)

 

While I'm here, though, isn't having a question with multiple possible answers similar to having a question with multiple actual answers where the person who gets the last answer right is given the credit?

 

80 yet? :(

8. Member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.

 

Got to have a think about the rest, I'm sure I know RIBA and MRICS but can't remember them at the mo.

Quite. At the risk of being a miserable git, would now be the right time to remind people of the original idea behind The Golem's quiz? Instead of having multiple answers and arbitrary winners, unlike any pub quiz I've seen, how about reverting back to the original formula, which would give more people a chance to have a go, and not drag on for days waiting for one person to provide so many answers.

Distinctly S**t Football (reference to Colman's HQ being in Carrow Road Norwich along from Norwich's ground.......could even get to Delia Smith's Footballteam)

Nope

Ah but the first counts as two :)

 

Very good.

 

Oh well the answer is:-

Double Superfine(DSF) mustard has 18% wheat flour.

The Genuine Double Superfine(GDX) has 1% wheat flour for those with wheat allegy.

Well lets move on. (of course it was a cut and page after the hint was not picked up)

 

Right, back to caching........

 

Question: Name this highly rated cache:-

Pub?

Quiz?

 

Sorry - the pub's Cloud machine's gone down so I wasn't able to access GoogleEarth on my pda - and I couldn't run the GSP add on if I could get a connection.........

Posted

No so far

It is a 5/5 cache.

And I have no problems with how you get to the answer!

Okey dokey, it's in here, then.

 

Certainly is. 300+ to choose from.

(I'm off to bed, will be quite close to the cache tomorrow morning).

A DING to Guanajuato

 

Jonah's Journey on Frogatt Edge (and above the village of Frogatt in the peak District) and what, IMHO is what caching is really about. having said that did have to send a rat down to retrieve as I could only get half way.

 

Over to you Guanajuato

Haven't been in the area for years, which is a shame as I spent most of my Saturdays as a youth cycling between Sheffield, Castleton & Matlock..It'd probably kill me now! :laughing: I'll never forget the look on driver's faces as I went past on the run down from Owler Bar :lol: Mind you, whatever the weather in general, it's always a howling gale against you going up that stretch.

Must go back with the wife & kids some day...

 

Anyway, the next question, vaguely linked.

 

Which famous person is buried (or has a grave anyway) at St Michael's church in Hathersage?

Posted

Given the vagueness of burial/grave, and the area, I was thinking Saint, but then it's only a church, not a cathedral or abbey. So I'll guess it was one of the graves of Little John, for the same reasons.

That'll be a DING then! I like to keep them simple, just like me. :lol:

 

Over to you.
