Quiz time

[Driver]

No she ain't!

[jackiew]

sorry guys ... i'm feeling really obscure today :D

Name the london borough that contains the church that Captain Cook was married in.

here is the first clue

the first english fishing fleet to use ice to preserve their catches was based there ( .. so it must be on the Thames )

[Driver]

Shoreditch? (Wild guess).

[Honest Gaza]

Barking and Dagenham....so an Englishman told me

[jackiew]

nope.

clue 2. Elizabeth Fry the prison reformer was buried at the same church

[jackiew]

oops .. honest gaza got in while I was answering the first response.... he's right Barking and Dagenham....

[Honest Gaza]

are you sure Jackview....Englishman looks peeved

[Honest Gaza]

ok....Englishman now happy

[jackiew]

must say i'm very impressed by your Englishman's knowledge. I only know because I learned it when I was at primary school there ... I thought it was VERY obscure knowledge ( or perhaps it was the fishing fleet that gave the game away? )

[Honest Gaza]

Name 10 human body parts that contain 3 letters only

[silentC]

ok....Englishman now happy
Hey, no cheating, no Googling, and no asking Englishmen. :mad:

[jackiew]

are we allowed commonly used slang terms for the body parts e.g. bum

[silentC]

arm toe eye

[jackiew]

arm toe eye leg lip bum tit ....aargh ... brain given up

[Honest Gaza]

Google won't help you...Englishman might....what's cheating ?

[Honest Gaza]

arm toe eye leg lip bum tit ....aargh ... brain given up
1 = arm
2 = toe
3 = eye
4 = lip
5 = leg

can't accept the others

[silentC]

[Wood Borer]

Ear, eye, arm, toe, lip, leg, gum, hip, jaw, rib

[Honest Gaza]

[Wood Borer]

This has possibly been posted on this BB previously but anyway here we go.

- Wood Borer

[Driver]

It has to be C.

He is certain that his hat is black because he can see that B's is white. He knows that D can see both B and C. If C's hat was white, D would see 2 white hats and would have already identified that his must be black. Because D hasn't called out, C knows that D can see one white and one black hat.

Col

[Wood Borer]

Correct Col.

Your turn.

- Wood Borer

[Ivan in Oz]

can't accept others ( eg. gut, bum, tit )

You could have asked for 13 parts :p :p

Ivan.....whoops, nerly forgot

[Driver]

In the final scenes of the movie Dr Strangelove, the pilot of the American bomber rides the nuclear bomb like a rodeo rider on a mustang. The part of the pilot was played by Slim Pickens. Who did Stanley Kubrick choose originally for this role?

Now eet ees tahm for me to reveal zat Ah am not, een fact, Crabtree at oll. Ah am, een fact, zer worl's grettest daytecteeve: Hercule Poirot!!

Wood Borer's puzzle was solved by using zer leetle grey cells! Mon Dieu and Coq au Vin!!

[silentC]

I didn't recognise you Poirot, your moustache is pointing the wrong way ;)

[Driver]

My favourite Poirot scene:-

There is a knock on the front door of Poirot’s apartment. Poirot opens the door to reveal a deliveryman, holding a birdcage. Inside the cage is a parrot.

Deliveryman (broad Cockney accent): ‘I got a parrot ‘ere for a Mr Poyrott.’

Poirot: ‘Zat ees pronouncéd Pwarroe!’

Deliveryman: ‘Awright, guvnor. (Clears throat). I got a pwarroe ‘ere for Mr Poyrott.’

[silentC]

I always thought it was amusing that Peter Ustinov played Poirot in the movies. He wasn't even Belgian!!

[duckman]

You see me here,

OK!
How about gravity, Nah; you cannot see Gravity.

Count

[duckman]

Still no correct answer.

Are any of you history buffs? (another clue sort of..:))

Get your hands dirty. (another clue)

Sun's shining, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, temperature in my garage has risen above zero and this 'young' man's fancy has turned to making sawdust. I'm off to the shed for the day. :D :D

Back online this evening. :)


Hooroo...

[Ivan in Oz]

Yourself :confused: :confused: :D

[HappyHammer]

Spring as in the season? OR

The horizon? OR

Effort?

[duckman]

Still no correct answer.

When should we call it quits? :)

[HappyHammer]

Don't give us the answer just easier clues....

[Honest Gaza]

A memory

[outback]

Life ?

[Ivan in Oz]

Life ?
C'Mon OB,

Life is "Mother Nature'
that'd be 'she' in the ditty.

Me thinks me got a headache :mad:

Count

[Bob Willson]

The ground? :(

[Bob Willson]

Nakedness?

[outback]

I'm sorry I'm just a little confused :confused:

[Ivan in Oz]

How many words?
How many Syllables?
How many letters?

Sounds like........... :confused: :confused: :confused:

Oh!! What was the quesion, again?

I've got the correct answer;
just the wrong question :(

Count

[duckman]

Don't give us the answer just easier clues....

:D :D
That's easier said than done.

I'll think long and hard and see what I can come up with. :)

[duckman]

A memory

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Umm.. how can you see a memory? :D

[duckman]

C'Mon OB,

Life is "Mother Nature'
that'd be 'she' in the ditty.

Me thinks me got a headache :mad:

Count

Count, mate... there's no 'she' in the ditty. :)

Have a word to Outback... if you ask nicely he might share some of his medication. :D :D :D :D

[Ivan in Oz]

:D :D
I'll think long and hard and see what I can come up with. :)

OK!!
Is that a cryptic clue................... ;)

I'd hate to think what the answer is :eek: :eek:

Count

[duckman]

The ground? :(

Ooooooh... Bob, you are the closest yet, and you are SO close.
;)

[duckman]

I'm sorry I'm just a little confused :confused:

My new answer

SEX

P.S. Should I increase or decrease the medication :D :D

Keep taking the tablets outback....

[duckman]

OK!!

I'd hate to think what the answer is :eek: :eek:

Count

Count, you're cracking me up. :D :D :D

No, that wasn't a clue, I'm still thinking... its been a long day.
I think I'll try some of my special 'thinking' elixir, the one with the polar bear on the label. :) :)

[Ivan in Oz]

Foot print..............................
Hey!!

This is doing me no good.
I'm trying to snipe on eBay,
for some tools to replace those my Father had,

But never got, because the CARER helped herself to Dads estate................ :mad:

Nearly over it :rolleyes: ...............well, one day, maybe.


Count

[Honest Gaza]

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Umm.. how can you see a memory? :D

That's the good thing about a memory.....you can see it even with your eyes closed. It may sound deep but when you have lost something, it is often the only way to see it.

[Honest Gaza]

Ooooooh... Bob, you are the closest yet, and you are SO close.
;)

Perhaps "SO" refers to "SOW"....as in seeds ????

[Bob Willson]

The floor

[silentC]

Earth

[duckman]

Foot print..............................
Hey!!

This is doing me no good.
I'm trying to snipe on eBay,

Ah.. so its YOU who has been beating me on eBay.:) Just joking, I'm quite happy with what I've gotten off eBay this year, in fact I've virtually finished my buying spree.


for some tools to replace those my Father had,

But never got, because the CARER helped herself to Dads estate................ :mad:

Ouch!!! I sympathise with you.


Nearly over it :rolleyes: ...............well, one day, maybe.

Count

Hang in there Count. :)

[duckman]

That's the good thing about a memory.....you can see it even with your eyes closed. It may sound deep but when you have lost something, it is often the only way to see it.

Wow, this is getting too profound for me..man.:D

Your memories can't be seen by others, so to others they are effectively 'hidden' which is contrary to the ditty. :)

[duckman]

Perhaps "SO" refers to "SOW"....as in seeds ????

I think I've started something that I didn't mean to start when I posted the first cryptic clue. :eek: :eek:

Come back to earth gaza... (hint)

[duckman]

The floor
Awww... Bob, what are you doing to us? :eek:

After coming so close you're now moving away from the answer.

Colder....

[silentC]

So is Earth the answer or not?

[duckman]

Earth

I'll class that the same as Bob's answer given in post #967

Tell me something about the ground/earth.

[Ivan in Oz]

Filth!!

No!! Not that kind :rolleyes:
The Dirty kind.

Count

[silentC]

Tell me something about the ground/earth.
I meant 'Earth' as in the planet.

[Honest Gaza]

Dirt

[duckman]

I meant 'Earth' as in the planet.

I thought as much.:) I've been avoiding spelling earth with a capital E as another clue, cos that aint it. :):)

[duckman]

Dirt

See ground/earth(lower case e).

Tell me some more about ground/earth/dirt etc. Something about or in it that can't be hidden.

[silentC]

Is this something particular to dirt?

[HappyHammer]

Terra Firma ?

[Honest Gaza]

Geez this better be good.....I don't want an anti-climax here ( the wife hates them )

[Ivan in Oz]

Humanity,
you know the 'Salt of the earth'..........

should that be 'Salt of the Earth'?

[Driver]

This is getting painful, fellas!

[hexbaz]

I do feel one hell of an anticlimax coming on :D

[RETIRED]

Would you like me to close the thread??? :eek:
