Does this refer to Nixon as in the first post
This is the first reference to LBJ {Lyndon Johnson}
So looks like we have the three, just who gets it?

**martybartfast** · 1st October 2009, 10:48 AM

Methinks Ten Point Nine got a little confused.

Gazooks gave JFK & Nixon first off, and Gazooks was the first to name Johnson, so I reckon he gets the ding despite the confusion.

**gazooks** · 1st October 2009, 11:49 AM

on the film theme then...

Who played Al Capone in the 1987 film, The Untouchables?

**DrDick&Vick** · 1st October 2009, 04:24 PM

according to the missus that would be the 'her description' lovely Robert De Niro

**gazooks** · 1st October 2009, 08:55 PM

correct :socool:

**DrDick&Vick** · 2nd October 2009, 11:33 AM

Okay a nice and easy one for the TV addicts.

Lennard Pearce was one of the main characters in which 1980's TV series?

**martybartfast** · 2nd October 2009, 12:12 PM

Grandad - Only Fools and Horses.

**DrDick&Vick** · 2nd October 2009, 01:03 PM

You is to clever or spend toooooo much time watching TV

Ding a Ling to you then

**martybartfast** · 2nd October 2009, 08:53 PM

What is notable about the Castleford Grammar School roll of honour?

**martybartfast** · 3rd October 2009, 09:12 PM

OK Hint time, it's about who carved it.....

**martybartfast** · 7th October 2009, 07:20 PM

A Sculptor....

**DrDick&Vick** · 23rd October 2009, 05:32 PM

he was pupil there maybe

**martybartfast** · 23rd October 2009, 07:24 PM

Oops, forgot about this.

It was carved by a pupil at the time.
The pupil went on to be a pretty famous sculptor

So how many 20th C English/Yorkshire sculptors can you name who might have been around in 1914-1918.

Big clue it's not Barbara Hepworth!

**DrDick&Vick** · 23rd October 2009, 08:50 PM

I'm afraid I can name NONE.

**martybartfast** · 23rd October 2009, 09:28 PM

OK well have the ding anyway, and google Henry Moore.

**DrDick&Vick** · 24th October 2009, 12:45 PM

OK one for the music memories.
I was born 1942 in Harrow. Died 2000 (although my death was erroneously reported on air some 2 years earlier). Studied and taught art.
My first band opened for the Who on tour in 1974/75
Described by one of my contemporaries as "possibly the finest lyrisist we've seen".

Who am I??

**DrDick&Vick** · 27th October 2009, 09:32 AM

BUMP any answers

**DrDick&Vick** · 13th November 2009, 05:09 PM

Anybody going to limp in with an answer

**Bill D (wwh)** · 14th November 2009, 08:46 PM

Ian Dury - the limp gave it away!

**DrDick&Vick** · 14th November 2009, 08:51 PM

Well I had to give a hint as nobody had attempted an answer, so
DING and over to you

**Bill D (wwh)** · 15th November 2009, 08:56 PM

Thanks for the ding!

This city's name is often shortened to Ouaga. Its inhabitants are known as ouagalais. What is its full name, and which country is it the capital city of?

**Family_Moose** · 16th November 2009, 06:32 AM

:wacko:

**DrDick&Vick** · 16th November 2009, 03:47 PM

**Bill D (wwh)** · 17th November 2009, 08:16 PM

It seems it might be time for a clue...

The city is in Africa.

**Just Roger** · 18th November 2009, 06:12 AM

Judging by the name of the inhabitants, the colonial power was France or Belgium

**martybartfast** · 18th November 2009, 07:56 AM

Well I've absolutely no idea, but going by what Roger said I'll have a guess at the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Belgian Congo) as the country, no idea about the city name though.

**DrDick&Vick** · 18th November 2009, 03:58 PM

Must be an age thing but for once I can honestly say "Don't know a damn thing guv, honestly!!"

**Bill D (wwh)** · 18th November 2009, 08:08 PM

I'm afraid it isn't the Democratic Republic of Congo, but Just Roger is right about France having been the colonial power there, and the country's first language is French.

Next clue: The full name of the city is Ouagadougou. That just leaves the name of the country...

Another clue tomorrow evening if necessary.

**Just Roger** · 19th November 2009, 12:58 PM

It suddenly came to me. Burkina Fasso.

**Bill D (wwh)** · 19th November 2009, 08:54 PM

That's a DING to you!

**Just Roger** · 19th November 2009, 09:08 PM

Thanks Bill.

John Buchan was a well known Author but what was his "Day Job" during the second half of the 1930's?

**DrDick&Vick** · 19th November 2009, 09:32 PM

he was a Politician who served as a Governor somewhere if I remember correctly, the place doesnt spring to mind just yet

**Just Roger** · 20th November 2009, 04:24 AM

I'll give you the DING for that. He was Lord Tweedsmuir and was Governor General of Canada.

**DrDick&Vick** · 20th November 2009, 02:13 PM

OK here is a nice easy one for the 'older' people on here.

What was the D Day invasion password?

**martybartfast** · 20th November 2009, 02:53 PM

Well the operation was Overlord, don't know whether that was also the password.

**DrDick&Vick** · 20th November 2009, 04:18 PM

Sorry, Overlord was the codename but not the Password

**DrDick&Vick** · 25th November 2009, 10:02 PM

**gazooks** · 25th November 2009, 10:30 PM

**DrDick&Vick** · 26th November 2009, 07:26 PM

Nope
hint:
It was a very American phrase

**gazooks** · 26th November 2009, 10:21 PM

the only other one I'm aware of was Flash

used by the airbourne troops

**DrDick&Vick** · 27th November 2009, 03:49 PM

Flash & Thunder were the passwords used by the American Airborne so I shall award you the DING

The general password was Mickey Mouse

**gazooks** · 28th November 2009, 08:04 AM

What is the chemical formula of snow?

**martybartfast** · 28th November 2009, 08:35 AM

I'm guessing this must be a trick question, but I'll go for the obvious anyway:

H2O

**gazooks** · 28th November 2009, 09:32 AM

No flies on you .... DING :socool:

**martybartfast** · 29th November 2009, 08:16 PM

Mr Norway crossed the Atlantic in 1930.

I want either his Christian names (Both of them) or the name number of the conveyance he traveled in/on.
