Congratulations Elaine 👍 Well done for winning the comp, hope you claim it!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE fingers crossed
🦋 Today’s final clue made me laugh as it brought back so many memories of when one of my sons was a toddler and he asked me “ mummy, why do you always say I’m a “ Hungary “ ( He didn’t say the country but I can’t tell you what he said until tomorrow as it is today’s answer !! ) If anyone thinks they know the 2 words we sometimes call our kids when they’re playing up then they could get the actual answer !! 😉Thinking caps on everyone 🤔 and Good Luck to you all !🍀🤞and a… Read more »
I only put anchor chain and Cable, not everything.
Is this acceptable for full points.
I think daniel is covering himself, any of those mentioned will be accepted I think.
Yes, any of those answers is correct! Good Luck, Daniel
I always get this confused with the Romanian capital.
Sometimes I surprise myself with the amount of useless information I know! Lol 😂
I think you will have differing answers for today’s clue. I will wait for the official answer before I add further comment
Put one answer which whilst correct is not the only answer….. oh well. At least i get a point for entering.
I have put the answer I think you are trying to get, but Welsh Rarebit is much more than just one item on toast.
I was just thinking the same thing. You are quite right.
I saw it on the menu board at the leisure centre when I was ten and thought it was bunny on toast. 🙁
Strange that baby penguins can be called nestlings when they don’t have a nest (maybe Galapagos penguins do?). can’t help but think feetlings would be more appropriate!
there are technically 2 answers to today’s (26th) question. One is more popular than the other. I’ve put both. Hope that is ok
I did the same but I put the most popular 1st lol T.x
Penguin is spelled with a G not a Q 😉
https://www-urbandictionary-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&term=Penquin&=true&usqp=mq331AQCCAE%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.urbandictionary.com%2Fdefine.php%3Fterm%3DPenquin
Nope, still spelled with a G 🙂 These are not correct.
I concur, it is spelt Penguin.
I thought yesterday’s (24th) question was a little gross!
(I’ll get my coat.)
I so wanted to say that on the day but didn’t want to give clues, lol
I had to wait 24 hrs to post it. It was murder. I was so scared somebody else would post.it first.
I put mince beef in for the cottage pie answer yesterday, will that still be correct as the answer was just beef?
Yes, that is correct – minced or not minced 😉 Good Luck, Daniel
Ahh thank you! I look forward to coming here everyday, even though I’ve not been a member that long, it’s great fun, thank you for doing everything you do 😊
Same here Ann, lucky Daniel accepted it 😀
👍
You ask a question about a play David Tennant was in!
Nope. Still don’t understand your comment. I must be missing something.
Query question 18….. 1st ..how big is the hole ??… 2nd… has tiredness been taken into account ??… 3rd… 3 men to make potholes when nature does on its own !!!….
If they worked for the city, it would probably take one man half an hour to dig the hole because there would be no one else to talk to or drink beer with.
Is it wiltshire council workers? Only they take 2 months to do a hole in the road! Lol 😂
I put Cherries for yesterday…hope it is acceptable.
Hi Will. That is indeed correct. Good Luck, Daniel
Assuming you meant May Duke today rather than Mary Duke 😉
Well spotted 😉 Good Luck, Daniel
hope ping pong also counts for yesterdays answer of Table tennis
Hi Paul. Yes, that is just another name for it and is correct. Good Luck! Daniel
This question makes no sense.
“Founded with social network”??
Hi Phil. Sorry for any confusion. This should be ‘Founded which social network’. Good Luck, Daniel
Obvious it was a typo 😐, at least daniel is human and not a robot 😁
Where do I find new surveys to do. I’m new & everything I’m clicking on says I may need to complete a survey before I can enter but I can’t find any to do
Don’t worry – there isn’t always a survey but, if there is, it will appear where the day’s birthdate should be & will just be one or two questions. Welcome & good luck 🙂
also can just skip em if you want, has that below where it asks questions
Yes, you can also skip them but would appreciate it if you could complete them if you don’t mind. It takes only a few seconds and really helps the site and the games we can offer. Good Luck, Daniel
Hi Karen. As Ruskin has already said there isn’t always a survey displayed. They are displayed randomly. If the page doesn’t show the full content a survey will be displayed for you to complete. I appreciate it if you can complete the survey as it helps the site and the games we can offer. Good Luck, Daniel
no question today? still yesterdays
Apologies – There was a slight delay in the update but was fixed shortly after your post. Good Luck, Daniel
Congrats to anyone who didn’t google today 🙂
Easy one considering I’m Scottish. 😉
Happy New Year to everyone here and the FBDL team. Thank you for a fun site. We appreciate all the hard work that you put into it.
Thank you – Appreciate that. Happy New Year too. Good Luck! Daniel
I think most people would know that one, just by the number of TV programmes with the word in their titles.
Spelling it is tricky though😊
spelt it wrong, missed the a before the y lol
