Let's play The Weakest Link

[Gayle]

Here's a list of questions from the Weakest Link book - these are the rules - you have to be nominated before you can answer, so for example I will say that the first question is Garinda's. He has to answer it and then nominate someone for question 2. If he's right he gets 50 points, if he's wrong the total score goes back to 0. You can bank (type in capitals) before you answer your question if you are unsure of the answer but you can't pass if you've been nominated to answer the question.

In other words, general Weakest Link rules

Try to nominate people who are online for the next question if you can so that we can keep it moving.

I'll tot up the scores when we've been through all 20 questions.


1. In the beauty industry, which M is a professional carer for hands and fingernails?
2. In music, is a piccolo a woodwind or a string instrument?
3. In which decade was the actress Dame Judi Dench born?
4. Would you find the alimentary canal on the moon or in your body?
5. In which decade was instant coffee invented?
6. In science, is 'plumbago' another name for graphite or for camphor?
7. Paella is a traditional dish of which country?
8. What is the largest of the Balearic Islands?
9. Which musical, set in Vietnam, is based on the true story of Madame Butterfly?
10. In modern science, is time the first, second, third or fourth dimension?
11. In clothing, would a cowboy wear chaps above or below the waist?
12. Which actor played Danny in the 1978 film Grease?
13. With which of her Majesty's Forces does Prince Andrew serve?
14. In science, did Ernest Rutherford propose the nuclear model of the atom in the year 1911 or 1921?
15. In history, which Scottish king won the Battle of Bannockburn in the year 1314?
16. What is the main religion of Morocco?
17. In music, which is the lower female voice - soprano or contralto?
18. In America, PA is the postal abbreviation for which state?
19. In the UK, what type of vehicle is a Green Goddess?
20. In nutrition, both wheatgerm and broccoli are rich sources of what type of acid?


So, for the first question I will nominate Garinda to get it all started.

Ok, I wasn’t having a go at you. I repent my sins and will answer the next two questions just to get the balls rolling again.

2. Piccolo – Is a woodwind instrument that is the smallest member of the flute family

3. Dame Judi Dench was born on the 9th December 1932…..

[garinda]

What a pair of babies Lousy Less and Dirty Doug are for spoiling the game.

Why don't you play with each others cockers then, and don't any of you two dare moan about the forum being slow again.

What’s up with you windy? How did I spoil the game you wuss…..I’ve answered two of the questions to get the thing going and when the good councillor confirms they are both correct I will Nominate the next contestant…..at which point I seem to remember that you where the plonker who nominated Less in the first place……did you not.

[Gayle]

Yes Doug you were right - except she was born in 1934 but that's me just being pedantic.

So 100 points for question 2, 200 points for question 3.

Nominate the next person. By the way, you don't have to wait for me to say they're right before nominating and moving on. I'll just tot up the scores and the banking at the end.

[Doug]

Yes mother,

I Nominate that nice chap Mr Spuggie........
