"Just half a bottle of blue nun will be fine"

Alright, I'll guess Saturday then, though I've still no idea why.

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 1:52 pm

Yes, i think i'll have a pint of bitter!

It's not saturday either. I'm not sure if the answer actually has any logic at all!

I'd have thought friday, cos it's nice to have a bit of spending money at the weekend!

Harking back to classic comedy again...

What does Father Ted buy Mrs Doyle for Christmas in the Christmas Father Ted special?

aint it a teamaker or something, seem to remember an episode where ted buys her a teamaker and she goes mental about it cos it takes away from her tea making skills

okely dokely, 1 in 10 chance this, plus you can rule out some of the options

which Doctor who actor died at a doctor who convention?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 2:42 pm

I'll go for Patrick Troughton, since he's got an amusing name.

jimmymac · Post by **jimmymac** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 2:44 pm

it was indeed, the 2nd doctor tragically suffered a fatal heart attack whilst at a convention.

next question if you please

Think I'll go and buy a lottery ticket tonight...

This one might be a bit trickier, if you remember in school, you used to remember acronyms such as ROYGBIV (colours in a rainbow) and SOHCAHTOA (mathematical bollocks).

What would the acronym FATLAD help you remember?

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 3:01 pm

Good old acronyms. I know this, and it's for the counties of Northern Ireland.

I'll set another easy acronym question. What would OILRIG help you remember?

Matt

Wouldn't say it was that easy, unless you did A-level Chemistry.

Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain.. (what you lose or gain I can't quite remember, though i'm guessing it must be ions, electrons or something).

This might well turn out to be an urban myth, but Sir Isaac Newton, as well as being a very famous scientist and professor, was also a Member of Parliament. However, he's only recorded as having made one speech in the Commons.

What was the "speech" about?
