Not sure if this is a cheat or not but;
Have just been told of Nunavut, Newfoundland and Labrador, and new Brunswick by a lass of Canadian extraction in my daughters hall of residence. That leaves one to find
Prince Edward Island? thought that was part of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick.
Ding to Ten point nine

Ding to Keehotee. The first joint host city was going to be LA but it never happened and the 1984 Games were held in Stoke Mandeville and New York. In 1980 it was in Arnhem.
Doh... If Keehotee gets the ding, that means we'll all have to wait at least a week for the next question!!
h34r:
ok sub quiz time.... how long till he notices that he needs to post a question and does so....
my guess - tuesday 7pm
OK - as people are obviously getting impatient an easy one to keep it moving...
Full names please
Lol!
1.
2. Bunsen
3. Miss Piggy
4. Beaker
5.
6. Fozzie Bear
7. Rolf
8. Gonzo
Don't know the other two though! :wacko:
1 Statler
5 Scooter the backstage gopher
That's all of them - but I'm going to have to give the ding to *mouse* .........
Sticking with the Jim Henson theme then.....
Same again - this time name these characters from Sesame Street....
I must be showing my age ... or didn't spend enough time watching TV as a kid/teenager (I must have been out playing in mud and setting treasure hunts )
.. the only muppets I recognised were Miss Piggy & Kermit
and only 'Big Bird' in Sesame street.
... so, pass on this one
Oscar the Grouch, the Count, Cookie Monster (she looked different on BB), Bert, and Ernie.
And in the unlikely event that I get more correct than anybody else, I absolutely refuse to set the next question.
1 Oscar
2 count
3 cookie
4 Big bird
5 ?
6 Ernie
7 Bert
8 Zoe
9 Elmo
Looks like Ten Point Nine gets the ding..... but before I award it, does anyone know the last name? I'll give you a clue, it starts with a G.
Ten Point Nine got more right, so ding and over to you!
What name is given to the notorious tidal current in the Lofoten islands off northern Norway?
I'm sad enough to know the answer to this one - I used to sail in and out of Bodo on a product carrier about 20 years ago....
...... but in the interests of not making people wait a week between questions, somebody else can have a go

I had forgotten you were ex M Navy
Pass. I have no knowledge of Norwegian tidal currents.
I do vaguely remember The Great North Atlantic Drift, The Labrador, The Benguela... The Eccles Cake current...

Time for a clue?
Clue:
In the book 20,000 leagues under the sea, Captain Nemo's Nautilus makes its last appearance going down into the Lofoten "**********"
Maelstrom?
Ding to Rutson it's one of the best known whirlpool systems.

SORRY! Missed the ding and wasn't watching carefully coz it was a wild, stab-in-the-dark guess :$
OK, all things being equal, this time next week I'll be in the location of the classic 1942 film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. What currency will I be using to buy my beer?

I think I know the film, but if it's the one I've got in mind I don't know the currency... Aaaggh, it's needling me, as I'm sure I'll recognize it when someone posts it...
