Early call for players ..........

[Squirrel]

Hi Angie, I'm here. Your evening going well?

[angieh]

Hi Squirrel .......... yes, I've had a glass of wine and I have The Beatles on my headphones ......

[dandysmom]

Ready, Put the martini in the freezer, the wine in the fridge, cleared my cookies, cache and browsing history, so all set! Leia is on my lap.

[Squirrel]

Nice! :) I've just been playing online. Researching cat litter for the most parts to see if I think it would be a good idea to change little one onto something she can dig in more... not for at once, only just started a huge bag of the wood pellets have been using, but...

Hadn't thought about music. Must change that now though! ;)

[dandysmom]

Hi, Squirrel ......

[pamela81]

[angieh]

Kizzy is asleep under my dressing gown which I mistakenly laid on the bed ..... she's very warm and comfy so I can't disturb her. Pip is asleep on the sofa in the lounge.

[Squirrel]

Cloud has now gone into playtime mode, just typicla, but I think I can keep her happy from here. Leia on your lap sounds nice Eileen.

Hi to both you and Pamela. :)

[Squirrel]

Kizzy is asleep under my dressing gown which I mistakenly laid on the bed ..... she's very warm and comfy so I can't disturb her. Pip is asleep on the sofa in the lounge.

*lol* Cloud was sleeping on my dressing gown which I put over a chair to dry it... thus she got slightly damp... But what could I do? Deny her a chance to knead, or just leave her to it??? :roll:

[Shelley123]

[angieh]

HUGE achievement and a signpost to one possible future ....

I have ONE correct answer ........... starts with "V".

[angieh]

now if you had asked who was the first dog in space ........

Now my mind has gone blank ..............................

[Squirrel]

In that case, pb CM with Vostock, or similar...

[pamela81]

vostock? ....

[Shelley123]

Laika ..............

[dandysmom]

First dog was Laika, wasn't she?

I'm too late to PB ....

[Shelley123]

she was a stray found wandering around the Russian streets

[Velvet]

Wasnt that the poor wee mite that died in space :(

[angieh]

Laika ..............

That's curious .... Ma-Laika????

Yes, the answer is Vostock 1. So no-one absolutely right, but points as per usual for Vostock I think ..... in celebration.

Q3. Which film featured a parrot called Polynesia?

[Squirrel]

Now, there's a chance I might actually remember some of that!

[calismum]

No idea..........................

[Shelley123]

Wasnt that the poor wee mite that died in space :(

yes i'm afraid she did

[Squirrel]

Don't know that I've seen that one. Mind keeps going to pollyanna, but don't think there was a parrot of any description in that one! ;)

[pamela81]

i have no idea either

[dandysmom]

Pass on that one .......

[Shelley123]

Mutiny on the Bounty, another desperate guess :D

[pamela81]

[angieh]

Think push-me-pull-you and huge pink seashell ........

[Shelley123]

Dr Doolittle .......

[Squirrel]

How annoying Pamela...

Films with parrots? Swallows and Amazons has one in the book, could be in the film as well. Still thinking as to any other films with parrots... was there one in Mary Poppins, and if so, did it have a name???

[lynz85]

.....................no idea

[pamela81]

i have no idea, i thought of captain hook, did he have a parrot?

[dandysmom]

Dr. Doloittle???

[Squirrel]

Guess I'll go with Shelley and say Dr Dolittle...

[angieh]

The 1967 film starred Rex Harrison .............. there have been a trilogy of more recent films starring Eddie Murphy.

[Shelley123]

How annoying Pamela...

Films with parrots? Swallows and Amazons has one in the book, could be in the film as well. Still thinking as to any other films with parrots... was there one in Mary Poppins, and if so, did it have a name???

Q4. By what name is acetylsalicylic acid better known?

Doubt MP's parrot was named! ;)

[Shelley123]

[Squirrel]

Um... A random guess... Vinegar?

[angieh]

[dandysmom]

aspirin ........

[Shelley123]

I'm giving Shelley a bonus point for knowing the name of this poor doggie.

[Squirrel]

[Shelley123]
