hazard a guesse at the form of transport being a zeppelin but what number I don't know and as far as names go no idea!!

**Just Roger** · 1st December 2009, 01:56 PM

Time for some hints.
i Mr Norway was the real name of a well known Author.
ii The conveyance was British

If nobody gets it, tomorrow, I'll give you his initials

**martybartfast** · 1st December 2009, 02:27 PM

How about the R101 airship, I seem to remember that there was someone well known on it, as for the author something is telling me H. G. Wells, but I think it might be a bit late for him, and I don't know his names.

**Just Roger** · 1st December 2009, 02:54 PM

Wrong but in the right area. It was actually the R100. The one which didn't crash. The R100 was designed by Barnes Wallace (Bouncing bombs) and Mr N.S.Norway was the chief calculator. His christian names were Nevil Shute, which was the name he wrote under.

MartyBartfast was so close though not close enough for a ding.

To replace that question here's a very easy one.

Who wrote the poem that begins:

Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough!It isn't fit for humans now,

**Just Roger** · 3rd December 2009, 07:29 PM

I'm pretty certain that I know this one but waited 24 hours to see if any one else answered it. I think it's Betjeman.

**martybartfast** · 3rd December 2009, 08:14 PM

Nope, not quite...!

Would you believe I also knew the answer and I did exactly what Just Roger did, but he got here first?!

**Just Roger** · 4th December 2009, 04:46 AM

Hope someone else might know this and join in.

What was the name of the REAL ship whose wrecking in the Hebrides in 1941 was the inspiration for the 'SS Cabinet Minister' in a novel byCompton Mackenzie?

The rules are no googling - so the questions need to be fairly common knowledge type questions - then more poeple might join in

**DrDick&Vick** · 4th December 2009, 08:53 AM

I actually know this one but only because one of my interests is shipwrecks. Then again probably not many people could answer it.

POLITICIAN

DING to DrDick&Vick

**DrDick&Vick** · 4th December 2009, 04:43 PM

Ok a TV one for the 'older' players

At which army camp was Sgt Ernie Bilko first based?

**Family_Moose** · 4th December 2009, 06:14 PM

Not sure about 'older' players, but when I watched it as a kid (probably re-runs), it was Fort Baxter. I always wanted to join Bilkos' army, as they never seemed to do anything apart from enjoy themselves and avoid the officer.

**martybartfast** · 4th December 2009, 06:28 PM

Not sure which was first but he was also posted at Camp Fremont, so I'll throw it in just in case...

**DrDick&Vick** · 4th December 2009, 07:02 PM

nope, sorry

**martybartfast** · 4th December 2009, 08:04 PM

If that's aimed at me, tben I think Family_Moose must be right 'cos I'm sure he was only at Fort Baxter and Camp Fremont, unless there was a pilot which had him at another base.

**Family_Moose** · 4th December 2009, 08:36 PM

Oh dear. It's probably like the trial episode of Star Trek, where everyone usually states that KIRK first commanded the USS ENTERPRISE, when we all know that PIKE got there first!!!!

**DrDick&Vick** · 4th December 2009, 09:00 PM

Sorry I missed the post (I blame it on age)

What does a polyorchid man have at least 3 of?

**Just Roger** · 9th December 2009, 02:04 PM

It's probably not Orchids but I seem to remember Orchid comes from the latin that has something to do ith reproduction so I'll guess 'Testicles'

**DrDick&Vick** · 9th December 2009, 04:23 PM

I think it was Oscar Wilde, in "The Importance of being Ernest"

Edit to quote the question as my reply starts the top of a new page.

**Just Roger** · 10th December 2009, 05:15 AM

Which English county with a sea border has the shortest coastline?

Somerset ?

**DrDick&Vick** · 11th December 2009, 09:44 PM

Nope, sorry!!

**Family_Moose** · 12th December 2009, 06:41 AM

If you count some of the lower region of the river Severn estuary as coast, is the answer Gloucestershire?

**Just Roger** · 12th December 2009, 08:24 PM

Does North Somerset count as a county these days? If so I reckon that could be it.

**DrDick&Vick** · 13th December 2009, 09:31 AM

No sorry, try going up country a little way!

**Maple Leaf** · 13th December 2009, 10:14 AM
