Trentino alte adigo?

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 00:17 Sun 25 Jan 2015

Brunello is very, very close.

Rosso di Montalcino

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 00:21 Sun 25 Jan 2015

No, close geographically in another sense. What is more tradtitional in Tuscany than Brunello?

Chianti

Yes, yes, yes. It was a half bottle of Chianti.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 00:25 Sun 25 Jan 2015

Excellent. Chianti Classico or one of the other subregions?

Post by **flash_uk** » 00:27 Sun 25 Jan 2015

I'm about to fall asleep, so rather than set a question, I'll hand over to the first person to post a new question, and if none is posted I'll think of one in the morning!

It was just a simple Chianti (not Classico) of a producer I didn't know. But as it was offered in the box were wines are sold off that are taken out of the shelf it didn't matter. It was reduced to just
3 Euros. So I thought I could make nothing wrong with that.

Derek, do you have a question? Otherwise I would have one that is connected to flags.

Go for it!

What happened to Andre? He was going to ask about something connected to flags. Surely the answer is "a pole".

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 01:49 Sun 25 Jan 2015

OK. Here is my question:
There are two countries in the world that have a similar flag. So when the flag of country A is bleached out by the sun, it is turned into the flag of country B.
Name the two countries.
I'm off to bed now, so will not post replies before lunch today.

Today with the family I visited a famous London landmark. Which one?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 17:14 Sun 25 Jan 2015

That's easy. Prince Andrew's flat.

No and no again. A clue is required. This landmark has moving parts.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:15 Sun 25 Jan 2015

Is it the Boot and Flogger? I've seen parts move there.

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 20:26 Sun 25 Jan 2015

Tower Bridge?

Post by **flash_uk** » 20:28 Sun 25 Jan 2015

We did pass the B&F on the way to this landmark. The landmark is less than one mile from the B&F I would guess.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:32 Sun 25 Jan 2015

If you went down Redcross Way I'm not sure where you were going. The Imperial War Museum?

“When I was a younger man, I was passionate about civil rights, education, the anti-war movement. I was the mayor of Cincinnati, and that’s the third-largest city in Ohio. Then one day I went to a prostitute, and I paid her with a government check. The next day it was all over.

There’s only two things you have to know about politics. One, you’ll never get anywhere unless you have the courage to speak out for what you know is the truth. And two, some things should always be paid for in cash.”

Is it my turn? 48%?
