+Carbon Hunter Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 What was Michael Caines first starring role in a major movie?
+Wazat Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Was it not in the movie Zulu as a Luitenant Bromhead or Bromfield or something. Read up on it not too long ago... think it was to do with a question asked a few weeks ago...
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Bingo Wazat - you're it - Yep - it was ZULU - the story of Rorke's Drift - filmed near Royal Natal National Park (with the amphitheatre in the background). Still a good movie - in conjunction with Zulu Dawn.
+Wazat Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Yep drove past the spot on Saturday that reminded me of it too. Had a good giggle thinking how obvious the location is so wrong... but what do the rest of the world know. One of the biggest landmarks in south africa too.... What first did Mandy Ramsden achieve?
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Mandy Ramsden - wasn't she the first African lady to climb the 7 peaks?
+Wazat Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Lady in white? Sang for the troops in Durban Harbor as they left?
+the pooks Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Who was Perla Siedle Gibson? Inventor/originator of the Gibson Stratocaster electric guitar?
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Lady in white? Sang for the troops in Durban Harbor as they left? Sorry - been away without internet - yep - she was the Lady in White who sang for almost every troop ship that arrived or left Durban throughout WW2. She would sing Star Spangled Banner for US troops and Irish or Scottish songs for regiments from there. All yours Wazat
+Wazat Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Susan Wilson was to become world-famous in 1974. Why?
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) First gender changer? Edited October 24, 2011 by Carbon Hunter
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 She was the daughter of on of the Beach Boys (Wilson)or another rockstar and officially changed her name from something really way out like Starshoip Enterprise - to Susan?
+Jors Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 She started exporting toffees? Wilson toffees..
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 She was the first South Africa she changed her name to Goldie Hawn (or some other well known actress)?
+cincol Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Some nondescript eccentric that wazat likes to dig up that nobody has ever heard of!
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 She was a reclassifed by race for a record number of times in apartheid South Africa?
+Wazat Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Bit of a tough one this is proving to be it would seem.... Shall I drop a clue or six?
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 She was the first international cricketer to get a wicket (or century) and as such recognised by the ICC?
+Midgleys_ZA Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Bit of a tough one this is proving to be it would seem.... Shall I drop a clue or six? A strange thought popped into my mind: Jeff Wilson's mother. But a bit of research told me that Jeff Wilson was born in 1973. Most of this was triggered by CH's response, since Jeff Wilson played cricket for New Zealand as well as rugby.
+Wazat Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) OK the six is right, but not quite on track.... Edited November 4, 2011 by Wazat
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Maiden name of the mother of the Cape Town sextuplets?
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 She walked around the globe - in six years?
+Wazat Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Maiden name of the mother of the Cape Town sextuplets? Sorry been hectic and not been on for a while but yes this is the right answer..... You are it.... And see where am I thread as well.
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 What is (most) interesting about the Lemba people in Limpopo?
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Nope - but a great start - no tips Edited November 9, 2011 by Carbon Hunter
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Why is everyone passing this one over? Let's hope we get an answer before Friday night.
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Nope - more to do with the 21 wickets in the day leading to the only time in the history of test cricket that ...... All of WHAT (or part of what) occurred on a single day of a test match? Think about the clues Got IT (I think) 4 innings in one day Must Be! Logic - start the day with 9 down in the first innings - 1 wicket closes innings 1, then 20 wickets closes innings 2 and 3 leaving innings 4 to start! Trev Yep - you're it - it is the ONLY day ever in test cricket history where part of ALL 4 innings were played on the same day. you're it Trev Looking back to January question this year - and ironic that the next time it happened is in CT - and a CT cacher answered the question Now for the Lemba - any takers on that - or are we going to pass over it?
+Bouts777 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 They are from an ancient tribe with linkage to the people who build the the Zim ruins and Mapungubwe?
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 They are from an ancient tribe with linkage to the people who build the the Zim ruins and Mapungubwe? Certainly from an ancient tribe - but the link I'm looking for is not to Zim and Mapungubwe - but even older.
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Another week gone - no takers? Think about links to ancient tribes - Bouts777 was on the right track. But which tribe is the question. Max du Preez wrote a great story on them in his one book.
+cincol Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 No takers as the last few questions have been so obscure that forumites couldn't be bothered? If I didn't research the question there is no hope in hell that I would have guessed.
+cownchicken Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Had to search for my Max Du Preez books and have come up with the answer! I read this book about 6 years ago and I really could not remember this fact. Do I qualify to answer the question? Edited November 18, 2011 by cownchicken
+cincol Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Had to search for my Max Du Preez books and have come up with the answer! I read this book about 6 years ago and I really could not remember this fact. Do I qualify to answer the question? The only rule I know of is "no googling!" Go for it!
+Carbon Hunter Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Go for it - I actually thought this was a "not so little known" fact Yep CnC - the Lemba are a tribe in Venda that have DNA roots proven back to the Ancient Israelites - via a tribe in Yemen. They still practice a form of Judaism and have until recently been a very closed society. This has been fairly widely reported in the past and the topic of a number of articles and documentaries. Go for it CnC - perhaps you'll have more takers?
+cownchicken Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Sorry for the delay. The weekend got in the way! Which South African author, journalist, documentarist and songwriter released a CD titled Alien Inboorling?
