Turn it upside down? Elise tanner?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Turn it upside down? Elise tanner?

Very clever!

Presume you mean 'Elsie Tanner' (of Coronation Street fame)?!

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Turn it upside down? Elise tanner?

Very clever!

Presume you mean 'Elsie Tanner' (of Coronation Street fame)?!

If that is the correct answer it is brilliant - both the question and the answer.

 

[DaleCooper]

Auntie Wainwright?

How did you get that?

Not only do I not know the correct answer, not sure if I actually understand the question!

You will soon.

Turn it upside down? Elise tanner?

That's the one, your turn...

If that is the correct answer it is brilliant - both the question and the answer.

Thank you.

 

[Greenheart]

Indeed an excellent question, this one is a lot more pedestrian:

Please name five English football managers who, since 1980, have led teams in continental Europe to top division league championships (men's, first teams).

 

[Peterthegreat]

Malcolm Allison
Terry Venables
Bobby Robson

 

[Greenheart]

Malcolm Allison
Terry Venables
Bobby Robson

Yes to all 3.

 

[Peterthegreat]

And Steve Maclaren?

 

[xotGD]

Roy Hodgson

 

[Greenheart]

Malcolm Allison
Terry Venables
Bobby Robson

And Steve Maclaren?

Absolutely, the charismatic Allison in Portugal, renaissance man El Tel, everyone's favourite Sir Bobby and Steve Maclaren getting some redemption after England with FC Twente. With 4/5 it's your turn to do the impossible job.

Roy Hodgson

Yes quite right, a whole bunch
In Sweden and one in Denmark

 

[Peterthegreat]

So staying with football managers. Which England manager has the lowest percentage of victories?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Steve McLaren?

 

[Peterthegreat]

Steve McLaren?

Not Steve Mclaren - he is actually mid table!

 

[xotGD]

Turnip Taylor?

 

[Peterthegreat]

Turnip Taylor?

Not quite. Next to bottom.

 

[Peterthegreat]

Just to make it clear I'm not including any of the 4 caretaker managers.

 

[SuspectUsual]

Keggy Keegle

 

[Ashley Hill]

How did you get that

31573 was designed by Wainwright.

 

[Peterthegreat]

Keggy Keegle

Indeed it was. You can manage the next question.

 

[SuspectUsual]

Open floor

 

[Calthrop]

In Jewish dietary law, there are two things which are kosher -- may be consumed eating / drinking-wise -- but are products of life-forms which are not kosher. What are they?

 

[Greenheart]

Guesses:
Honey/Bees?
Squid ink/Squid?

 

[Calthrop]

Guesses:

Honey/Bees?

Correct.

Squid ink/Squid?

No: by my understanding -- water-creatures without scales / fins, and anything derived from them, firmly class as "abominations".

The "other thing" than bees-and-honey; is, shall we say, a bit "left-field" and un-obvious.

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Cochchineal colouring in cakes etc from insects?

 

[SuspectUsual]

Breast milk??

 

[Calthrop]

Cochchineal colouring in cakes etc from insects?

Sorry, no.

Breast milk??

That's it !

@Greenheart, @SteveM70: you've each got one right. Would you fancy a tie-breaker?
