Let's play The Weakest Link
 

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.

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

I got them from The Weakest Link book - so don't blame me for the questions, blame Anne Robinson!

As for you Less, spoil sport! I would have expected nothing else.

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

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…..:p

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

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.

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

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.

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Lets go with Pendy this time.

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Hello, you answer one question, then nominate the next person to answer.

You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

Doug does the walk of shame, looking glum.

It's always hard coming off first.;)

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Don't worry about it honey, lots of men have this problem just pop along to the doctors and have a little word in his ear. Its easy to treat these days.................:D

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

And who is next for the walk of fame sorry shame?

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

If I was a spoil sport I would have answered all the questions correctly, as it was I was about to create a seperate thread with those incorrect answers (for fun!) but what the hey, I got invited to take part in the one of my most hated shows starring one of the most horrible bitches in the world and no I don't mean you, I do mean Anne (God preserve her) Robinson. So really I think I showed great restraint!

As for you Rindy, call me a spoil sport if you wish but please don't try to encourage myself or others to perform mono-sexual tasks upon each other, in a public forum. What I did was not to discourage Gayle, (however yet again I do seem to have found her sensitive side, that's going to make her an easy target if she does get a chance to represent the people), but the way you replied could be very discouraging to any-one that is homophobic! Just because your company is enjoyed on here doesn't mean you should be encouraged to use language and phrases that you normally use in the circles that you call friends!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Seems like we rattled your cage for once - don't tell me you've got a sensitive side as well, Less!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Yes Gayle, because two people that I hadn't intended to upset seemed to be upset, my sensitive side may have allowed a few moments of weakness. Please my lovely do not start preening your triumphal feathers just yet, whatever it is, I'm sure it's like the common cold and easy to get over!

However compared to the daggers used by those in public service just remember I am but a mere pussy cat and mainly on your side!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Dearest Less, I am well aware that you are a pussy cat because I realised a while ago that your claws are just for show.

Whereas I'm just in the process of sharpening mine!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Ah, so after I posted those answers yesterday you didn't go running from the site because someone had upset you, it was a tactical withdrawal to gather the troops and enable you to come back with guns ablazin'?

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Gayle I have to say that I have encountered the lash for less more than once, perhaps on one occasion he was even justified. However I feel that the response that less give to rindy’s invitation to participate was typical of the gentleman’s humour and was completely without malice, I still find it funny in fact, I think on this occasion that perhaps it was Mr Rindy who over reacted……

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Less - No, I didn't leave the site because of your iddy biddy post. I just popped out to get a nail file!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

OOooooooh is this a new game of weakest strongest lets argue link:confused:

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

No It's....sob, pass the hanky, a game for all sensitive souls, whimper, fret!
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_2_204v.gif

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

No, I think it's just Less's way of saying he likes me. If we were in the playground he'd be pulling my pigtails right now!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

I have to go right now - please don't misconstrue this as me running off to my corner to hide! lol

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Wrong again Gayle I'm far to advanced for that!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

I was waiting for that. And that's why I'm off!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Because you've dirty knees? That's a limp excuse Gayle, I was just beginning to enjoy this.....:)

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

i was really curious as to what Less was gonna do with his dirty knees:confused::D

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

I have to pass comment on the fact that windy rindy hasn’t stuck is nose into this since he quite wrongly accused both Less and myself of rubbishing Gayle’s thread. He must be having a reflective period or enjoying his work……..

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Actually doug the said rindy spent a very exciting afternoon with me watching a fantastic win by the mighty stanley and took his frustrations out verbally on the york players ... and very proud I was too :D

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Are you gonna give us the lowdown on that Red as radio missed bits:(

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

He started this and the fact he was watching Stanley’s well earned win does not make exempt for due criticism. He fields well enough when he’s giving it out……..he can take it when it comes back. :rolleyes:

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

York were the weakest link today as stanley won 2-1 with roberts and mullin goals. the game was interrupted for a while with a pitch invasion by the york fans after they scored which was duly followed up by a visit by the local constabulary to keep crowd order (although I have to say the stewards did a great job keeping control).

The ref and one of the liners were the weakest link of all and there were some very dubious decisions given.. but we won so who cares!! Just hope I don't see that ref anywhere near the interlink ever again!

Doug watch your mouth or the full force of my ann robinson will come down on you, never mind rindys!!!;)

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

i can assure you that there is no one who could fight garinda's corner better than him. But the fact you seemed to have missed the ;) of the end of my last comment.... come on doug give us some extra smilley's :) :) :) :) ps I am departing now for the accy meet so will be unable to respond but will be back tomorrow to catch the update:D

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

I only gave myself half an hour to shower, get some clothes ironed, put make up on and dry hair, plus make a robot costume for Zack and a witch costume for Maddie before setting off to a party because I was enjoying myself too!

Re: Let's play The Weakest Link
 

How much time do you need? I think that’s a positive step don’t you councillor, we both got something out of and I am sure everyone had a good laugh as well. Less will have enjoyed it tremendously, but I’m sure he will make his point in is own way tomorrow morning. I think people take too much to the heart sometimes when they should step back and think for a moment. Mind you Gayle you could look at these exchanges as pre post conditioning……for much tougher time to come……:) :) :) :)
