There seems to be a lack of any quizzes on here at the moment so thought I would start one to make you all think and maybe even have a chuckle at some of these random trivia questions.... 🤣
1. What is it illegal for a single woman to do in Florida on a Sunday?
2. Roughly speaking, what percentage of the earth's surface is made up by the Atlantic Ocean?
3. What flavour is Cointreau?
4. What animal is unable to stick out its' tongue?
5. How many bricks were used to build the Empire State Building in New York?
6. What was the first fruit eaten on the moon?
7. What colour is the black box recorder on an aeroplane?
8. From what language did the word Ketchup originate from?
9. What is a Haboob?
10. How long is New Zealand's 90 mile beach?
11. What can't a Cheetah do that a Tiger and a Puma can?
12. What is the world record for the number of hot dogs eaten in one sitting?
13. How many noses does a slug have?
14. In which country could one compete in a "wife carrying race"?
15. Who would be known as being "Gambrinus" (Clue - it could probably be applied to many players of our game!) 🤣
16. How many lakes are officially "lakes" in the Lake District?
17. What colour is found on about 75% of the worlds flags?
18. What year was Heinz founded?
19. What colour is a Giraffe's tongue?
20. What was the first item ever sold on Ebay (it was in 1995 and sold for $14.83)?
No more than 4 questions answered in any 4 hour period. Good luck all. 😎

18 I do seem to remember while taking part in a pub quiz while drinking beer that this question came up, in the back of my mind I think the answer was Chinese.
Opps must be drunk already, that was my attempt at question 8

Snails have four tentacles, one pair has the eyes on them and the other pair is used to smell. So if slugs are the same, then slugs actually have 2 noses. 2 is always better than one especially when they are pint glasses full of beer, not slugs  |

16. only one 18. 1869 and they sold Horseradish Both answers correct so 2 points for Dave Jones.  Bassenthwaite Lake is the only officially named "lake" in the Lake District, all of the others are either "meres", "waters" or tarns. |

14) Wife carrying in Finland. Is that "Lasse Viren"?? Correct answer is indeed Finland.... but I think Lasse Viren was an Olympic Gold medal long-distance runner from the 1970's rather than the name for the wife carrying race?  |

So is the Warrior re-appearance Brexit related? are you back from foreign parts for good? Hi Sav, yes I am back for good, more Covid-19 related than Brexit as it proved impossible to run a fishing charter business over in Tenerife when lockdown there in March 2020 meant no tourists or customers at all for 3 months.... and then British government imposed the 14 day quarantine period on everyone coming back from holiday which resulted in the cancellation of all of the remaining bookings that I had for the rest of the year!  So, after nearly 7 months with no income from customers and no help or support from the Spanish Government, I made the choice to sail the boat back to UK (which was a fairly eventful journey) and she is now moored in Brighton Marina. Obviously I am very disappointed that it didn't work out over there, but I did have some amazing life experiences while I was there.  One of the things that I had been looking forward to during the journey back was spending time with my friends here and being able to play our wonderful game again.... but.... having arrived back at the start of November, that hasn't been possible yet!  How does the song go..... things can only get better....?? |

Fascinating Dave! You sailed the boat back! How far and how long was the journey? I'd be interested to know more.
Bad luck on the venture timing by the way!

That's life (sadly) Chris, 3 years ago when I made the decision to move over to Tenerife nobody could have predicted what has happened in the last 10 months. The journey back.... yes, it was a bit eventful in places. We sailed just over 2,400 miles and it took 7 weeks in total but that included 3 days adrift at sea 100 miles out in the Atlantic Ocean after both engines failed during a storm, a week in Portimao harbour in southern Portugal while engines were fixed and a week in La Rochelle in France to avoid some big storms in the Bay of Biscay. Even the arrival back in UK wasn't easy, I had been emailing the head office of the company that owns Brighton Marina for about 3 months as I had decided that was where I would keep the boat. Everything seemed fine until we actually arrived at the marina after travelling overnight from northern France to be told "you are not allowed to enter the marina" (due to the 14 day quarantine rules). It looked as if we might have return to France but UK Border Control Agency were helpful and we quarantined in Newhaven Marina before being allowed to get off the boat and then move it to Brighton. Add to that lot we saw the Orca's that were attacking the boats off the north of Spain in the news last year and saw some incredible views, sunsets, whales and big tuna and you get an idea of what our trip back was like.... |

12. I guess that all depends on how long the sitting was and if you could wash them down with beer  when I think that my brother managed to make one bacon sandwich last for over an hour in the pub just so he could drink more. Lets player higher or lower. My guess is 15 hot dogs in 10 minutes if they are smothered in mustard or 25 if they are plain |

An interesting answer that would probably be unpopular with some of the single women in Florida, but incorrect. I will give a clue for this question, the answer is one of the following... A) Wash her car B) Go Skydiving C) Hoovering D) Go Fishing No, it is bigger than that. |
