One quiz at a time

"Please don't let Jimmy fix it for me", a dragon on a stick and an apple?

"Please don't let Jimmy fix it for me", a dragon on a stick and an apple?

No but you are right to think it is rude, well it has a eff in it.

I mean a persons face.

Not really in the ball park, apart from they could both be considered a snack

So the closest I got was being rude.

!and I will be lenient.

[LGTrotter]

Need another clue? The snack/foodstuff is a weak point. It will yield if pushed. The caption is going to be tough. The face you might stumble across, it's a kind of archetype.

[LGTrotter]

Now what?

Not my turn. Which is good for both of us.

[DRT]

!and I will be lenient.

Now what?

a persons face.

[djewesbury]

Persons, Owen. Quick, edit before DRT.. oh.

[djewesbury]

Anyway, draining my glass I see it's time for bed. Good night all.

I'll be up in a minute, Dear.

[LGTrotter]

Miss you alreddy!

[DRT]

Miss you alreddy!

It's like a dripping tap.

[LGTrotter]

Miss you alreddy!

It's like a dripping tap.

I like to use my language demotically. Tinkerty-tonk.

The fridge magnet question;

I have three fridge magnets, one has a caption, one has a face on a sort of peg thing, one is a plastic model foodstuff.

Name the caption, type of face or foodstuff.

Clarification question!

Do we need three answers or one to win?

One.

Caption: Keep calm and eff off
Face: Margaret Thatcher from Spitting Image
Foodstuff: Apple (do I need to guess the variety?)

[djewesbury]

The foodstuff is a red or green capsicum, in high-relief.

The face is Len Ganley

The caption? "Knees bent"

[DRT]

Foodstuff is a leak.

Face is Lenny Henry

Caption is "OMG!"

[djewesbury]

Foodstuff is a leak.

[DRT]

Foodstuff is a leak.

[djewesbury]

Posted from Tapatalk.

A valid excuse.

[LGTrotter]

No right answers yet, time for a recap and additional information.

The caption; depicts a child praying, the caption has an eff and includes the word 'pony'

The face is a generic face, an archetype I think I wrote. It (he I think) is wearing a hat.

The foodstuff is a snack (sort of), is not a vegetable. It is man made.

Special clue for Daniel;

Think of a hen, wandering aimlessly. Where is the hen, and how did it come to be here? Zoom in on its golden eye, and you will see Larkin;

And immediately


Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.

My God, what a clue. 'High Windows' and chicken-licken.. I'm off to exegetise. I shall return.

By God you're right Daniel! The face does have a blue hat with golden circles on it! The rest is childs play.

[DRT]

Is this some sort of riddle that can only be understood by members of a secret society?

I refer the honourable gentlemen to the title of this thread.

So we have a wizard.

We have a poem which contains an F-word and a picture with a praying child also using an F-word about a pony.

We have the golden-eyed 'free bloody bird', wandering aimlessly..

We have a slice of the whole of life captured here, is what we have.

This is not over yet. Not nearly. This is only beginning.

[djewesbury]

So where's my f***ing pony?

[DRT]

A kitkat?

[LGTrotter]

So where's my f***ing pony?

You are a genius Daniel. Yes.

Your go.

[DRT]

Damn. I almost worked it out.

Should I start listing random numbers now to get a head start for Daniel's next question?

For future reference any clue written by me addressing Daniel should be ignored. I do it merely to torment him with meaningless drivel.

[LGTrotter]

For the sake of completeness;

The face is of a clown but I would have accepted the mask of comedy as an answer. The snack is a bourbon biscuit.

The king of biscuits! My question will not involve numbers. It will be utterly rubbish, I promise.

I think it is the fate of the questioner to assume their question is rubbish. I always enjoy other people's questions more than my own, even those I do not understand.

[jdaw1]

The king of biscuits!

Giuseppe Garibaldi? (I have no idea what the question is, but the clue spoke.)

[djewesbury]

The king of biscuits!

Giuseppe Garibaldi? (I have no idea what the question is, but the clue spoke.)

Garibaldi said death to all kings. That's why he hated the bourbons. But the houses of Savoy and Nice were left intact. Completely crackers.

Why do we have so many biscuits named after extinct European royal families? And only one named after a revolutionary, and that one a poor flour-and-water-and-dead-flies effort? Why no Liebknecht Creams? ** This is not my question. **

Here is my question; and since they are so much the mode at the moment, it is a multi-parter...

How did I take my oysters at lunch? Please name the style, not the ingredients. There are two potentially correct answers, either will suffice. And what did I drink with them, to a medium level of specificity?

[LGTrotter]

Clarification; are you looking for one answer or two?

Obvious answer first; Premier cru chablis.

As to the syle I assume you mean you eat them raw out of the shell.

[djewesbury]

You answered in the correct manner, that's to say you provided a response to each question I asked.

But you answered incorrectly, to both parts.

[Alex Bridgeman]

You had angels on horseback, washed down by a crisp Loire white (probably a Muscadet)

[djewesbury]

You had angels on horseback, washed down by a crisp Loire white (probably a Muscadet)

Angels on horseback: no, but yum.
Crisp Loire white, probably Muscadet: exactly right.

Now we get to the point where someone only has to guess half the question to win the entire prize. I must admit this troubles me; perhaps in future, unless all required parts are right, the answer given should simply be, "Wrong".

[Alex Bridgeman]

I disagree. I think if you ask a multiple question then only one part has to be answered correctly. After all, this thread is one quiz at a time, albeit I accept it is not one question at a time.

That's not how we've been playing it lately....

[Alex Bridgeman]

You set the question - you set the rules for your question.

[djewesbury]

You set the question - you set the rules for your question.

Then I decree that my oysters must be named.

[Alex Bridgeman]

So I must wait for another to guess before I can do so again.

You must. That rule I did not write.

I cannot imagine how annoying and impossible it would be to get both parts right at once. My use of multi option allowed any one of the three fridge magnets unlock the next question, Thus I am now considering the best way to deal with an oyster if one were drinking a muscadet alongside it.

Grilled.

Grilled seems imprecise to me. There is more than one way to grill an oyster.

Yes, where is André?
