Narnia.

Owen, despite what you've said about BFW, you might be interested in this auction... http://www.bidforwine.co.uk/auctions/show/52088

The plot thickens... It should really be PW's question next...

C'mon, don't be a tease. You have now been offered this twice now and shilly shallied (wasn't there a king who had to do this?), or give it to Alex, he said he had a question.

Actually, I will think of a question. But not tonight. I have to finish my lecture.... zzzzz

That was a whole day ago. And?

And then, today, I gave the lecture, and some seminars also. And became stern with a non-attendee.

The question:

What is the connection between the oboe and Uranus?

Post by **jdaw1** » 00:37 Wed 30 Oct 2013

Both are mentioned on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Herschel?

Excellent! Your turn!

The Wiseman household has partaken of two alcoholic refreshments this evening. The second was a Rioja. What was the first no more precision being required for the first than was given for the second?

Champagne!

Whisky

Both of the proffered answers are of the correct type, but alas have the wrong value.

Chardonnay.

No.

I have another guess. Unfortunate that it's not my go.

Port!

An excellent guess, but this time wrong. (Though Port would have been more likely after rather than before Rioja.)

This clause makes no sense to me at all. Who are you and what have you done with Julian?

Post by **jdaw1** » 17:39 Wed 30 Oct 2013

Not complicated: Rioja-then-Port more likely than Port-then-Rioja. And the question said that the missing drink was had before the Rioja.

beer
you were thirsty when you got home from work
so a beer against the thirst and a Rioja for pleasure

New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

‟White wine” would have been sufficiently specific, but would also have been wrong.

The correct answer is something I am known to like.

Cider? (or as we call it in the US, hard cider?)
