and another DING
Okay, my turn...which was the largest island in the world before Australia was discovered?
Isn't it amazing what you don't see, when you don't know what you're looking for?
The past is history; the future is a story yet to be told; write it well.
Iceland ?
Si vis pacem para bellum
The fact that you have added 'discovered', I am wondering if it is a trick question ..... and the answer is therefore still Australia.
If not, then I will say Greenland.

Goldfish, but I prefer martybartfast's answer. It's probably nearer reality.

Bumpy Bumpy and waiting for Countrymatters
any chance of a question?
Seeing that Countrymatters hasn't set a question and mine was the last question, I am taking the liberty to set another one to keep things moving.
A topical question (and without looking!):
What are the colours (left to right) of the five Olympic rings?

Sticking with the theme, I think we all know where the 2012 Olympics are being held, but which city is hosting the 2016 Olympics?
Seem to remember that it will be Rio de Janeiro
DING
As the Olympics draw nearer let's have a question about something that will be used a lot.
Name 3 London Underground stations that have two word names where both words start with the same letter?
blimey, not that difficult is it?
Sloane Square...
(are we allowed to look at a tube map?)
of course you can
In that case
Sloane Square
Golder Green
Seven Sisters
Clapham Common
Ding Dong to Marty, over to you.
What is a "Googlewhack"
Googlewhack is a word or phrase that when googled returns just one entry.
Should I wait to be told how clever I am or just Waite for the winners check to arrive.
My go My go!
Everyone knows David Jason and Terry Scott starred as Danger mouse and Penfold but who voiced Colonel K?

If I remember correctly was it Edward Kellsey
In the absence of the question setter I have taken it upon myself to check the answer and can confirm that StickBouncer is correct.
So over to StickBouncer for the next question. :lol:
Where is the worlds largest collection of bladder stone kept?
"You keep finding them, I'll keep hiding them."
:cheers:
opcorn::coffee:
Me and the boys are starting to wonder if anyone is awake out there. We are off to pub for a few days as nothing for us to do here.
Shout if you want a hint of clue but shout loud as we may have dozed off HEHE
"You keep finding them, I'll keep hiding them."
In someone's bladder?
Good answer but not right at this location they stopped collecting them in the early 1900's so unless the someone is a bit elderly then try again.
"You keep finding them, I'll keep hiding them."
We've got a few at work, but I'm sure someone's got more than us.
Do you need a clue?
"You keep finding them, I'll keep hiding them."
CLUE
The original building that housed this collection was funded by money raised at the oldest city based music festival in the country Which is also the longest running cultural festival in the country.
"You keep finding them, I'll keep hiding them."
Edinburgh ?
Si vis pacem para bellum
Afraid not but thanks for guessing.
"You keep finding them, I'll keep hiding them."
I could be way off the mark, but is the music festival the Three Choirs Festival in Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester?
Even if it is, I'm no nearer finding the bladder stones!
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (Dylan Thomas)
No I am afraid not. You will have to turn over some more stones searching for this answer.
"You keep finding them, I'll keep hiding them."
Well, I decided that a quick Google was in order as this is dragging on, found a possible location for the festival (it ain't in the UK) but absolutely no reference to bladder stones.
As the Dragons say "I'm out" as I played the Google card
Knowing where the setter is based my answer is Norwich, and having looked at some of his caches due to a previous post I'd say Norfolk & Norwich Hospital.
Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
Was just typing this and all of a sudden I see northking has replied and is bang on the money
Come back. Need all the guesses we can. Any way the clue did say that the answer related to this country so you must have googled the wrong information so your google can not count.
Time for a hint
This city in England Is reported to have the Largest Cathedral Close in the country as well as the largest and the smallest cloisters in the country.
I have many caches around my wonderful home city If you want details on the Bladder stones have a peek at
In famous Norwich - The Norfolk & Norwich Hospital GC41NKN
So Over to you northking
