Simples



James Heitfeild is the lead singer of what band ??

Don't take it to heart, Mick

Actually I think I've figured out the answer and it's not really a rhyme - it's a homophone!

Peter Kay. It is Bolton then

We'll have none of that pedantry here Davie, but more specifically it's a heterograph.

I mean, if you can't figure out the name of the man responsible for industrialising the entire world, would it have been easier had I not used the word rhyme Mr Smarty-Trousers?

Twist is correct, Matthew Boulton it is.

Oh and for Davie...

Matthew Boulton industrialised Bolton.

Your twist…. Twist. Capitonym.

Ok,

In the original Monopoly, which piece was closest to it's real life size?

Da hat?

The Iron?

The car. Because it wasn't a model of a car, it was a model of a toy car?

Just doing some sideways thinking here...

Well if you're going for lateral thinking, how about the battleship? Because it was a pocket battleship....

Was there a battle ship?

I only remember the dog, the hat, the car, the iron, the thimble and the wheelbarrow..

Well it has been mentioned now, but it isn't the ship, toy car or the hat.

The dog?

DUH!

The Thimble.

The Thimble.

Nuts!

Thimble it is....off you go mick

The Apollo 11 mission carried Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong to the moon.
But who was the 3rd astronaut on the mission, he orbited the moon while the lads frolicked around on the surface.

John Shepherd?

I know this one.

Nope.

I'll give you a hint, he shares his name with a more famous person.

Jethro Tull wrote a song about him...

Sorry, that's absolutely no help at all.

Was he thick as a brick?

Go for it PJ if you know. I am sure I know, but it is not coming from my head.

I keep on thinking about the Apollo 13 astronauts.

Well not really about him, but referencing him (just for Davie).

Are you thinking of Pink Floyd there Davie?

Nope Thick as a Brick was definitely Jethro Tull - but I'm just being flipant now

I think I know too but can't think of a more famous person with the same name so I may be wrong!

Twist, Davie, think the Easter Rising and Liam Neeson...

The more famous person was an Irish historical figure. There was a movie made about him in the 90's and Liam Nesson played the lead role.

Ah OK I'd forgotten him. Michael Collins (the astronaut) is more famous (to me) than him!

Davie wrote:Ah OK I'd forgotten him. Michael Collins (the astronaut) is more famous (to me) than him!

Irish history was never my strongpoint (or interest)

Fair enough. Maybe the hint was a hinderance!

OK try this one (it's actually part of a bigger question). I first heard this years ago so there may be more correct answers now but we'll see how we go.

The whole question was to name footballers who had played for England whose surname ended in the 5 vowels (so 1 each for A, E, I, O and U)

Have a go at them all if you want. Naturally there are loads ending in E, I can only rememeber one ending in I (but it's quite obvious) - O and U aren't that difficult but the really tough one was an Englnd footballer whose surname ends in "A" - so that's the one I want (though you can hae fun with the others too)

Hmmmm good question.

I am going to have lunch and stew on it.

This is my equivalent of your history Davie.

I - Bonetti?

Yep the "I" one works. There will be clues available if people struggle

Phil Jagielka

Well bu66er! I'd forgotten about him! I suspected the answer may have been added to since I first heard the question though.

Guess I'll have to accept that one though - the answer I had was Jimmy Melia!

KingKenny7Heaven wrote:Phil Jagielka

Oh yeah!

Clues for others please, one at a time though I wish to be tormented.

OK PJ - I was going to let KK7 continue but we can keep this one going as well. I'v ealready given away the (difficult) "A" that I had. No clues for "E" as there are 100s (most people say Moore or Gascoigne!). I can think of a couple for O (ex Leeds player being one of them).

I wouldn't of got Jimmy Melia , Tony Drago for O ?

Defoe for e

John Salako? did he ever play for England?

John Salako and Tony Dorigo

Thought of another ' A ' Bobby Zamora

KingKenny7Heaven wrote:I wouldn't of got Jimmy Melia , Tony Drago for O ?

A snooker player? From Malta?

Yeh i noticed that after i posted it i ment Dorigo

Nat Lofthouse, Glenn Hoddle, Chris Waddle

John Fashanu

The 4 Cole ...... Andy ,Ashley ,Joe and Carlton

Dorigo, Salako and Fashanu are all correct. And well done for finding another "A" !
