There are some matters that have to be cleared up from last month's game.

First, JW got the points for Q109, but none of the bonus points offered by KL.

Second, I am the only one that can offer bonus points. Please don't do this again. I offer bonus points to have some fun and spice up the game once in a while. Why would any player want to offer more points then they can receive themselves?

Third, when submitting question try to limit them to one or two answers at max. It would be too confusing to try and be fair for partial answers.

Fourth, talk up the "High Noon" game to other people in the forums. If there are tooo few players playing it, I will dis-continue it for lack of interest.

Sage....got it now, thanks for clearing the "Bonus Questions" bit up...I read this post just a little to late to save first two questions I posted this week..Q's 1 and 2..sorry bout that I will ensure there are no more long q's..

BTW, Sage, the answers I sent to you as Answers to q's 127 and 128 are to answers to Q's 1 and 2, forgot the new month thing...

Thanks,
KL

roger that.

Good get Paul...of course I was very very drunk.....

The Fast Show's one of my favourites kl. Paul Whitehouse has got to be one of the best comedy actors in the world. He's also an excellent opera singer.

I expected Q9 to stay on a little bit longer than that gt, well done.

PE....yeah me too, the Fast Show I reckon is the best comedy since Python...it is off beat I suppose but amazingly funny..esp Ted and Mr Mayhew...the scene where he tells Ted that his wife is dead via the pub game is my fav...only one i close I reckon is another Brit comedy similair to Fast Show, The Big Train...also off beatish but funny....got to hand it to you British when it comes to quality humour....I'm off to search through Broadway Plays....

...You ain't seen me...right!!...

well kl, looks like that was just too darn easy, it lasted just over an hour!

I got lucky GTHO4...just found the right spot...good q though, gee there are some cricket q's out there waiting to pounce..lol...I saw 5 or 6 bizarre cricketing facts that I'd never heard of just on the page I was on......Ok I've been suckered by your event common link Q...here goes 3 or 4 hours of frustration I know it..

PE, just saw your post above, I got lucky on the seated liberty question too

KL, got an answer all ready for the greatest wicket-taker's shortest period, it answers your question, but I betcha a big mac and a small fries it's not the one your looking for so get your pens and pencils and sharpener ready! and, btw, I'm going (have gone) bonkas with the pistols and sid and now al capp and mr lee .. I run bigpond cable here at home (man what a difference) and crashed this pc once when I had eleven IE5 screens open at once (or, as Rex Mossop would say, simultaneously and at the same time) and tried to open a 12th, but somehow I don't think that's gonna help on the sid lee capp one

gt

lol GTHO..not sure how placated you will be when you see the answer...it was devised in one of my more obscure moments...as for the pistols they are full of interesting tidbits....most of them seem so unreal these days that they are perfect for this...lol

sage, couple of gremlins've crept in
kl has posted an answer on Q122 which you've omitted to mark right or wrong, it was right .. Q17 was posted by jw, not me (see your summary listing of Qs)

hey KL,
where ru - barbs42 is calling your Q95 as Staten Isalnd isn't a city, it's a borough - that was a big issue in snake a few weeks back on names of cities and towns in the USA, and btw q95 has driven round the bend

barbs42,
welcome aboard, and have some fun
p.s. please don't stop firing at KL in Shootout

PE,
now we're after Colossimo! how many more players from down under wil thee be at Elland Road .. has anyone ordered more vegemite, a couple of container-loads wouldn't go astray. Colossimo played for oz against ManU in July last year at the Olympic Stadium, and And(y)rew Cole hacked him in the 2nd half as he was stopping hime getting past, and he ended up on a strectcher with a broken leg - Cole was booed off at the end of the match - do you think this buy'll come off?

Ok...Barbs may have me on Q95...let's amend that to...

"What do these geographical areas have in common.."

I think the answer to this one will be in the same boat as the Sid Vicious, Al Capp and Brandon Lee...obscure for sure, I did those 2 on the same night....as for Leeds chasing more Oz players, I'm sure that Aust. Soccer is happy but surely Leeds realises that Oz players also have to be realesed for longer then normal International Duty every now and again..but that won't be an issue..lol

welcome barbs42 and don't stop with my questions, lol, you are quite right and the question should read as above....good luck and enjoy...

KL

KL,
please don't tell me that the sid capp lee question still unanswered

Ok
Thanks for the welcome. I am going to attempt to get into this shootout stuff. I have been looking at the questions - guess it is time to try to start answering them.

jw
the rowing answer was the USA at Melbourne 1956

re: rowing

uh, phooey! heh
I was going to guess USA, but I thought it had been said...*shrug*
There are a lot of "monster" stumpers on the board. tough ones. I am looking forward to seeing them solved in the dead stumper pile.
=)

hiya barbs42,

our daily quota of answers is one daily and one stumper, and we're allowed to post a new question for each answer given; and there's no posting of answers or question on weekends (shootout sort of closes down) ... have just brought the SO rules up to the top for you to look at

as a newcomer I think sage'll probably bend the rules slightly for you till you get into the swings of things, he's been pretty busy lately but should log on later today and let us know his verdict
btw is b42 male or female?

from downhere
george aka gt

~~~~~~~

p.s. as you're more than 50 points away from second place you're also allowed to answer one of sage's song questions in addition to your normal daily quota, sort of like a free swing for newbies

Ok Thank you.
I think i understand it a little better now. Didn't see that post saying that it was closed for the weekend until a few minutes ago.
Thank you for making it a little clearer.

Barbs

gtho4
barbs42 short for barbara

Thanks GT for explaining it to Barb. I am happy to have you playing Baarbara. Like GT said, I will give you a break since you're new. Keep playing and show these guys! LOL

Will update later this morning.

well well b42, your timing is perfect
it's sage's birthday!

Happy Birthday Sage!

Did you really think you'd get away with the Swiss Army one gt?
I hope I've got it right 'cos I used your answer from "I need an Answer"!

I never knew anything about Colossimo until I read your post.
I would imagine that if O'Leary wants him then we'll get him.
After all it would surely be a dream move for him and the money shouldn't be a problem.
As for the vegemite, it's now on sale in supermarkets over here so they can get their hands on as much as they like!

gte away with it .. not really, just checking to see if you're awake lol
I was at work and wanted to post something instead of a debit or credit
btw you got it right

let me know if Elland Road runs out of vegemite

Sage, #32 is JW's question. I thought at first you meant I hadn't sent in an answer to 24. Since KL got it right, it shoud be removed from the list of current unanswered questions.
