Thanks for that - strange to think of bones joining together - anyway:-
Who lived under the name of Sanders?

**DrDick&Vick** · 10th December 2010, 04:34 PM

I think I know as it was a friend of mine, I even hid some caches named after him Pooh Bears Honeypot.
Is it my mate Winnie the Pooh?

**Palujia** · 13th December 2010, 05:45 AM

That's a big affirmative Richard - I loved the dead pan way it was introduced into the story - It was only when I was re-reading the books that I "got" the joke !!

Boing Boing !!

**DrDick&Vick** · 14th December 2010, 08:21 PM

Nice easy one this time:
Which is the largest joint in the human body?

**Maple Leaf** · 14th December 2010, 08:54 PM

.... or in my case, it could be ankle

**thekennelat79** · 14th December 2010, 09:21 PM

**Palujia** · 15th December 2010, 06:05 AM

An de leg bone connected to the KNEE bone ! (in my case broken in three places falling over in Tesco's car park !!!)

**DrDick&Vick** · 15th December 2010, 09:06 AM

It's a DING a LING to the lovely Maple Leaf who was the first to post the correct answer which was KNEE.
Over to you Jen.

**Maple Leaf** · 15th December 2010, 11:41 AM

I expect this is a song that you are all hearing a lot of at the moment.

'Do they know it's Christmas'

Who sung the first line of the original (1984) recording by Band Aid?

**martybartfast** · 15th December 2010, 01:14 PM

Two faces come to mind, I'll go for this one:

Paul Young?

**Maple Leaf** · 15th December 2010, 02:55 PM

That was too easy .... Ding, Ding to Marty.

For info, Kylie was first on the 1989 version and Chris Martin in 2004

**martybartfast** · 15th December 2010, 09:36 PM

What was the name of the angel who saved the life of George Bailey from Bedford Falls?

**martybartfast** · 17th December 2010, 06:54 PM

Hint:

It's a Christmas themed film.

**thekennelat79** · 17th December 2010, 08:23 PM

Clarence? Who was also an invisible giant rabbit?

Or was that from another Jimmy Stewart film? :lol:

**martybartfast** · 18th December 2010, 07:27 AM

DING (and another angel gets it's wings)

It's from "It's a wonderful life".

The giant rabbit was Harvey from another film which was also called Harvey

**thekennelat79** · 18th December 2010, 08:01 AM

Well that lets me out, since I'm no angel :lol:

We all like to be qualified with "ologies", but what is "orology" ?

**zarbibird** · 20th December 2010, 05:37 PM

Ok, seeing as no-one else is brave enough to risk being laughed out of the forum.........is it something geological? Mountainy perhaps? It is a long time since I was at school but think I remember my very odd geography teacher using the term

(Runs away hiding head in shame......)

**thekennelat79** · 20th December 2010, 09:37 PM

No need to hold your head in shame - seeing as you have essentially the right answer. :lol:

So it's a DING for zarbi&zarbibird

I was always taught that "orology" was the study of mountains, and their formation.

**zarbibird** · 21st December 2010, 07:06 AM

Hooray! (Proud moment :cheers: ) So who knows what colour the milk of a female hippopotamus is?

**Maple Leaf** · 23rd December 2010, 09:14 PM

Well, I am assuming it is not white otherwise you wouldn't have asked ..... so am guessing at PINK

**zarbibird** · 24th December 2010, 08:21 PM

DING! Correct answer, it is pink. Over to you, just in time for Christmas day. Happy Christmas everybody!

**Maple Leaf** · 24th December 2010, 08:31 PM

Thanks. It was a complete guess, but I did Google it afterwards to check. I was very surprised to see I had guessed correctly.

**Maple Leaf** · 24th December 2010, 09:05 PM

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar plums danc'd in their heads,

In the rest of this poem, only eight reindeer pull the sleigh.

What is the name of the reindeer that is missing?

**Fermentum** · 24th December 2010, 09:26 PM

I am not falling for the obvious! So I will go for Comet!

**Maple Leaf** · 24th December 2010, 10:31 PM

Not Comet

**thekennelat79** · 26th December 2010, 06:47 PM

I'm afraid that it is the obvious one.

Not a red nose in sight!

hmy:

hmy:

What is your answer then?

**thekennelat79** · 26th December 2010, 09:18 PM

I think that Rudolph IS the "missing reindeer"

hmy:

**Maple Leaf** · 26th December 2010, 09:48 PM

Ding Ding .....

**thekennelat79** · 26th December 2010, 10:09 PM

Possibly a very easy one...........

What everyday items are "aglets" or "aiglets"?

**martybartfast** · 27th December 2010, 01:15 AM

I think this came up on the pub quiz over on the Frog forums, and if I'm right aren't they the rigid bits at the end of shoe laces?

**thekennelat79** · 27th December 2010, 08:26 AM

Ding !

Well done !

**martybartfast** · 27th December 2010, 11:57 AM

At what temperature would a celsius and a fahrenheit thermometer show the same value?

**Palujia** · 27th December 2010, 10:07 PM

Would that be Absolute Zero ?

**martybartfast** · 28th December 2010, 08:38 AM

Sorry Absolute zero ( 0 Kelvin or -273 Celsius) is way off the mark.

**DrDick&Vick** · 28th December 2010, 10:40 AM

just looked at my biggy thermometer and I reckon it is -40

**martybartfast** · 28th December 2010, 06:57 PM

Ha Ha, Just saw your post and thought 'by eck it's cold down your way' then I realised it's the answer to my question!

Anyway:

DING

**DrDick&Vick** · 9th January 2011, 07:23 PM

Oh well I won't bother asking about:
Alan Carr, Julian Clary, George Michael or Boy George then.

**ardip912** · 9th January 2011, 07:41 PM

'Keeper' of Queens music is just about every Freddie Mercury fan.

'Master' of Queens Music, however, is Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.

Errrm, at least I think he still is. Couple of years yet.

**ardip912** · 9th January 2011, 08:18 PM

Some may have noticed that I have amended my signature. I thought "I've half a mind to become a politician, I've heard that is all it takes" was a little insensitive given Tucson Arizona. My sincere apologies. Allan.
