    Whoops...
    I'd better think of an easy one, to atone for my tardiness.....

    OK - no Googling (run out to your sheds instead)
    1. What does the WD in WD40 stand for?
    2. What three properties does 3 in 1 oil profess to have?
    3. What have they both got in common (apart from the really obvious...) ?

    I think it was 51.

    and I associate Pineapples with Herbie, now you (and the rest of the world) might associate another fruit with Herbie but that wasn't what was asked was it? so I'm right on that one

    Oops, forgot I'd asked this.

    OK, it was placed by students at Cambridge uni Computer Science dept and was in a place called the "Trojan Room" although there's no clue to be derived from that name.

    Back in the late 90's I was coaching a Cambs Uni team and this could be seen on almost any of the Uni terminals, if you wanted to. What was it? a coffee pot. I left in '99 but I believe it was auctioned a couple of years later for a stupid amount of money.

    Ding, it was so they (and the rest of the world) could see whether there was any :coffee: left in the pot. The webcamn was taken offline only when the department move buildings (around 2001 I think).

    Anyone who is a Lord or a Bishop, because they already get a say in the House of Lords so they don't need to be elected in.

    Mrs B Has the most correct answers so over to you.
