Congratulations Vesta.
OOO so close to my DOB. Well done Vesta
Congratulations Vesta, Well Done!
There are several answers & a couple of different spellings for today’s ferret question, hope they all get accepted
Succumbed to temptation on today’s. Put the name I usually use for the PM.
So, was ‘BoJo the clown’ an acceptable answer?
Ah, turns out much tamer than the ones that sprang to my mind when I read your first comment… 😉
That is the one I use in polite company.
Come on phil, we know there could of been another possible answer to yesterdays question, what was it? Lol 😂 👍
*have
Very broad lancashire, so im rite. Looks like trouble at mill, o’yonder with that phil. 😂 lol
I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.
Hmmmm…. I usually do the comps just after 11.00 and I could have sworn that yesterday’s question said “country.” which I thought was a bit odd so that was the question I answered. Was this a typo which was subsequently corrected? Just curious!
Hi Janice. No, no corrections. It always said county. If you got the answer wrong you will still receive one point for trying. Good Luck, Daniel.
Thanks for replying. My trip to the opticians was always overdue and now confirmed. One wrong won’t do so much damage I guess, I will just have to pay better attention!
I read it as country at first too but stopped myself just in time.
🦋Hi Janice, I can verify that the number 24 question definitely said “ county “ as Daniel confirmed. I did check it a couple of times before putting the correct answer as I didn’t want to put the wrong one !😂😂 At least you get 1 point for trying. Good luck !🤞🍀🦋
I asked my husband where the river was as he is really good at geography. I checked, he got it wrong (he says there must be more than one lol)
theres an Afon Wyre in wales which in english means river wyre
I can’t believe I fell into the trap when answering the question about John and his mother! I put 60 instead of 50! Oh the shame!
The oldest math trick in the book, I think most of us have done it at least once when answering that question. haha
Finally, one I knew the answer to. (And yes Phil, I do know you should never end a sentence with a preposition)
😀
Me again!
I assume you mean standard sudoku puzzle?
I have played variants with between 6 and 15 numbers.
I also momentarily pondered over the answer but the other variants are not plainly called ‘sudoku’ they are called mini sudoku, killer sudoku etc. and are all known as variants of sudoku. So the question and answer were self explanatory really. T.x
Fair point.
Squids also have three hearts.
Hagfish have four!
(I believe we had this question in another recent quiz, and there were arguments after that one!)
Is it too much to ask for grammatically correct questions?
Don’t see that it really matters, it doesn’t make the question impossible to understand. Comments like that come across as unnecessarily rude.
That was my polite response.
I bet you’re a joy to know.
All look fine to me.
I think we all knew what the question meant.
Phil I can be far to pedantic at times but even I allow for human error! After all Daniel is merely only human like the rest of us and non of us are perfect! T.x
Watch out, you’ll upset the snowflakes in here, like Andrew!
I’ve put an answer, but very puzzled by the spelling of Malbrough plus Maggie’s comment??
As a kiwi I know the spelling should be Marlborough. That’s also how its spelled on the bottle of wine I’m currently drinking 😀🥂
Think its meant to say Marlborough
Taken from google
Marlborough is a well-known wine-producing region in New Zealand. Thanks to aggressive growth in the export market, the Marlborough wine region is now responsible for the production of 77% of New Zealand’s wine. The most popular varietal is Sauvignon blanc, closely followed by Pinot noir and Chardonnay.
Apologies – This was a typo and has since been corrected. Thanks! Daniel
should that be Marlborough??
I thought the same?
hornetcarp & Stuart, no, the spelling is correct, my sister lives in this country. Good luck to you both !🤞🍀☺️
are you sure??? google doesn’t find anything just says ‘malbrough’ is french for ‘duke of marlborough’!!
My bad guys, I didn’t check the spelling properly and relied on stupid predictive texting, I’m gonna sit in the dunces corner now.🤦🏻♀️🥺😞
Apologies – This was a typo and has since been corrected. Thanks! Daniel
Bit late now? Changing the question late in the day seems a bit iffy.
Hi Phil. The question wasn’t changed, this was just referring to the misspelling, which was corrected when it was spotted. Thanks, Daniel
I should know this one today I live in Birkenhead 😁🤣
I live in Bootle and my boyfriend lives in Birkenhead!
Hope you won with peoples postcode lottery it was birkenhead today 8th july
Bravo To Birkenhead
08 July 2019 – CH62 1DS – Birkenhead – £30,000
No not me I’m CH43. Nice one to whoever’s won though 🙂 x
My bf is in CH43 too. We don’t do PPL, we do the free one Pick my Postcode. We’ve both been so close so many times, but miss is as good as a mile…literally!
I hope the one you mean is the one that says ‘That’s why mum’s go to ……’
because the only other one I can think of was ‘Loved by kids approved by mum’s’ but that was axed after claims it was sexist! 🤦♀️ This is the hardest one so far!! T.x
That was the only one I could think of too. Very hard.
Hi Tracy. Yes, that is the same company who originally used the slogan ‘Mums Love It’. Good Luck, Daniel
Taken from google
Iceland historically advertised with the slogan “Mums Love It”, which was changed to “Are we doing a deal or are we doing a deal?” and “Feel the deal” in the early 2000s.
🦋 Todays clue is sooooo easy ! It’s the year my youngest son was born so a bit hard for me to get wrong ! 🤣🦋
I assumed it meant what day of the week which is Wednesday this year, It is December 25th Every year not just 2019 so I don’t think that’s what is wanted.
It falls on Christmas
Is 25 December not the right answer?
I thought it meant the day it falls on not the date it’s on lol 🤷♀️ T.x
Hi Tracy. That is correct. It is asking for the day not date 🙂 Good Luck, Daniel
I forgot to check my calendar as I fell asleep so I missed that one.
Hi Phil. No. It is the day not date 😉 Good Luck, Daniel
So should today’s answer be in writing or numerical? 🤔🤦♀️😏 T.x
Hi Tracy. It doesn’t matter. If you get the correct answer you get the two points 🙂 Good Luck, Daniel
Thanks Daniel I put both just in case T.x
