[Shelley123]

good evening, anyone out there ;)

[dandysmom]

Yes, here I am! How are you tonight, Shelley? Lots of good brain-tickler Qs for us?

[lynz85]

hi shelley, eileen!

[Shelley123]

I'm good thanks Eileen, hope i've got some good ones for you. Great news about your appartment, you must be so relieved.

[dandysmom]

Ki lynz! :D

[Shelley123]

Hi Lynz, you ok ?

[dandysmom]

Yes, I am; it was undecided if my income was too high, but thank God it made it under the ceiling, so all's good to go! Packing and declutrering is horrible, but will be worth it to be settled.

[lynz85]

yes im ok thanks, just chilling infront of the box tonight!

[Shelley123]

didn't bother with yoga tonight, last week she told us we would be working with a partner and i felt uncomfortable with that so i'm afraid i scived off

[dandysmom]

Might as well chat while we wait for others ... what is your cat doing? Leia has had her afternoon snack and is dosing on her leopard print thermal rug.

[lynz85]

pip is sitting in the hall after tormenting the dog :)

ty is up just now for a week, think i may have to join dogsey and ask a Q, hes had a baldy patch on his side since last time he was here!

[Shelley123]

Leia has the right idea, think Jerry is outside somewhere. He won't be doing much, when we took him for his checkup the vet told me he certainly doesn't have an overactive thyroid like Tom had.The chap is a little portly :D

[Shelley123]

naughty Pip, fancy tormenting the dog ;)

[angieh]

Hi there! I'm here! Sorry for being late.

[lynz85]

yes its his favourite past-time when ty's here! and of course spreading out on his bed so the dog has no room!!

[Shelley123]

hi Angie, how did it go ?

[lynz85]

hi angie!!!

[Shelley123]

yes its his favourite past-time when ty's here! and of course spreading out on his bed so the dog has no room!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[angieh]

Fine thanks Shelley. We have a week off next Wednesday and then we are booked to go to the Junior class for 6 weeks - but we won't get home until just gone 9.00 so much too late for the quiz - but it is only for 6 weeks.

[dandysmom]

Hi, Angie! Glad you made it!

[Shelley123]

well i think we should start, so here goes

Question 1. Name Henry VIII six wives
i will give one point for each wife

[Shelley123]

I think we are all agreed that we can change to quiz day for the 6 weeks if you like angie.

[dandysmom]

We don't want to lose you for 6 weeks! It's not graven in stone that the quiz has to be on Wednesday.

[Shelley123]

Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Kathryn Howard and Catherine Parr.

I'm giving 1 point to lynz, 6 to angie and 4 to eileen

[dandysmom]

Hi Pamela!

And piggybacking on Anne of Cleves!

[Shelley123]

Hi Pamela, we've only just started, plenty of time to catch up.
Question 2. Which university did Prince William meet Kate Middleton ?

[pamela81]

st andrews university

[dandysmom]

As I'm retired, any day is fine for me: how is Thursday for every one else?

[angieh]

Jane Seymour ............. surname (or whatever last names were called then) escaped me. Thanks for all those points Shelley, makes me glad I watched The Tudors (well some of it) on TV - it was racy to say the least!!!

[dandysmom]

St. Andrews ......

[pamela81]

apologises, we have a quiz on the ins and outs of credit cards tomorrow so had a bit of reading to do for it!!! how is everyone tonight?

[lynz85]

st andrews ???

[Shelley123]

thursdays fine with me

[angieh]

Yes, University of St. Andrews - nice place, been there. Had a friend at uni there - long while before William and Kate.

[Shelley123]

Jane Seymour ............. surname (or whatever last names were called then) escaped me. Thanks for all those points Shelley, makes me glad I watched The Tudors (well some of it) on TV - it was racy to say the least!!!

very racy and not very historicaly correct, he wasn't that handsome ;)

[dandysmom]

They say he was handsome when he was young, dissipated living got him into that awful shape you see in the later portraits.......

[angieh]

apologises, we have a quiz on the ins and outs of credit cards tomorrow so had a bit of reading to do for it!!! how is everyone tonight?

It's a horrid thing, but I am sure that given time people will have no other choice. They are doing away with cheque guarantee cards and once cheques go as they will, credit cards will be the only things left - or debit cards of course. I remember postal orders!!!

[Shelley123]

apologises, we have a quiz on the ins and outs of credit cards tomorrow so had a bit of reading to do for it!!! how is everyone tonight?

:lol: perhaps you should do your next quiz on the subject

[angieh]

They say he was handsome when he was young, dissipated living got him into that awful shape you see in the later portraits.......

Plus he had brain damage as the result of a horrific fall from a horse. He was unconscious for quite a while.

[pamela81]

lol shelley, nah!!! not the most interesting of topics!!!

[dandysmom]

It's a horrid thing, but I am sure that given time people will have no other choice. They are doing away with cheque guarantee cards and once cheques go as they will, credit cards will be the only things left - or debit cards of course. I remember postal orders!!!

And people who don't want credit cards will be walking ATMs for muggers, carrying around that other alternative .......... cash!

[Shelley123]

They say he was handsome when he was young, dissipated living got him into that awful shape you see in the later portraits.......

yes i've heard he was, just not to my taste ;)
He also has syphyllis, they think that's why his son died also

[angieh]

very racy and not very historicaly correct, he wasn't that handsome ;)

No - historical accuracy got lost but it was interesting that Thomas Tallis appeared as a bit of a rake. My fav piece of classical music is Variations on a Theme of Thomas Tallis by R Vaughan Williams - never realised the Theme was that old!

[Shelley123]

the correct answer is St Andrews
Question 3.Which trophy, which has been played for since 1900, has often been called "The ugliest salad bowl in the world"?

[angieh]

And people who don't want credit cards will be walking ATMs for muggers, carrying around that other alternative .......... cash!

Perhaps by then the wheels will have turned full circle and we'll be back to trading with salt and beans!

[pamela81]

i think its the wimbeldon trophy?

[dandysmom]

Syphilis, ah yes the "French Disease" and the English called it, or the "English Disease" to the French .... brought back from the Americas.

[Shelley123]

My mum is very interested in the Tudors, particularly Henry VIII. I used to have bedtime stories about him

[dandysmom]

I haven't a clue so will piggyback Wimbledon.......

[Shelley123]

Syphilis, ah yes the "French Disease" and the English called it, or the "English Disease" to the French .... brought back from the Americas.

:lol: :lol: :lol: good one, Eileen

[angieh]

My mum is very interested in the Tudors, particularly Henry VIII. I used to have bedtime stories about him

I would think the beheadings weren't quite the thing for bedtime stories for a kiddie!

[pamela81]

Perhaps by then the wheels will have turned full circle and we'll be back to trading with salt and beans!

lol angie u never know

If people used debit cards instead of cash it would be alot safer and they wouldnt run up as much debt as they do with credit cards. The only time i would get 1 is when i get the cats insured and use it to pay fees and then claim it back from insurance

[angieh]

I have no idea about the trophy, but Wimbledon is topical.

[pamela81]

i was thinking wimbeldon as it is a big dish shaped thing??

[lynz85]

il pb wimbledon then!

[Shelley123]

ok, not Tennis, would you like a clue

[pamela81]

yes please :)

[lynz85]

yesssss clue please!!!

[angieh]

Ooooooh yes please ..... don't tell me International Lettuce Tossing!!!

[dandysmom]

Credit cards, used sensibly, and I mean sensibly in never charge more in a month that you can pay off in full at the end of the month, are a wonderful convenience, I have never paid a late fee or interest charge on any of mine. Not everyone is disciplined enough to do that. I hate that that sounds bragging, which I don't mean to do, but it's just common sense!!

[Shelley123]

:oops: sorry it is Tennis, it's the Davis Cup, so anyone who said Tennis i will give a point to

[dandysmom]

Oh yes, clue!

[Shelley123]

have given Pamela 3, eileen 2, angie and lynz 1 point.
need to keep my eye on the ball (pardon the pun) :D

[Shelley123]

Question 4. The majority of immigrants to the USA between 1820 and 1900 came from which two countries?

[angieh]

...........Deuce ......................

Do peeps watch Wimbledon on TV???

[pamela81]

uk and africa?????? randoim guesses

[angieh]

Ireland and Germany ..................... ???

[lynz85]

i dont have a credit card. my theory is you cant spend money you dont have!! ;)

i do have an account with my local credit union and have borrowed out there in emergencys, the interest rate is really low so not so bad paying it back.

[lynz85]

ireland and........ poland????

[pamela81]

i dont have a credit card either, i do however have an overdraft which is good. I generally dont use any more than £50 in it

[Shelley123]

i don't watch Wimbledon, i don't do sport at all

[dandysmom]

Ireland and ....... Germany?

[Shelley123]

Ireland and Germany it is

question 5. In which film is corn bread, meat loaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, okra and peach cobbler the last meal request of condemned prisoner John Coffey?

[angieh]

I think credit unions are a really great idea for helping people. Much better than building societies which they have replaced in ideology. Can't believe how "uppity" building societies have become and forgotten their origins.

[angieh]

The Green Mile ............ ?

[pamela81]

the movie is teh green mile based on the novel by stephen king

[lynz85]

the green mile.........

[pamela81]

i soo love stephen king books, i have just about everyone of them at my mums house in a box in the loft!!! cant wait to get a book case here to put them into!!!

[dandysmom]

Back to Angie's question: no, don't watch Wimbledon, but Carolyn is a big tennis fan and is glued to the TV.

[dandysmom]

Too late to PB, never heard of it anyway ........

[Shelley123]

i soo love stephen king books, i have just about everyone of them at my mums house in a box in the loft!!! cant wait to get a book case here to put them into!!!

i love them too, think my favourite is The Shining

[angieh]

I know you're not a film fan Eileen, but The Green Mile is a very very sad and quite wonderful film.

[pamela81]

i love them too, think my favourite is The Shining

i have that book but have read it read it yet, its 1 of the 1s that i know will scare me half to death!!!

[Kazz]

Sorry sorry sorry. I got caught up in the garden meant to be about 3/4 hour but time flew by Sorry.

[Shelley123]

correct answer is The Green Mile

question 6. Who was the most infamous of all the seraphim?

[dandysmom]

i soo love stephen king books, i have just about everyone of them at my mums house in a box in the loft!!! cant wait to get a book case here to put them into!!!

How I wish we were closer: I am discarding at least 8 of them..... :(

[pamela81]

[Shelley123]

Sorry sorry sorry. I got caught up in the garden meant to be about 3/4 hour but time flew by Sorry.

[angieh]

Oh dear, I don't like seraphim .................................. no idea really, could it have been Lucifer? But I thought he was originally an Archangel?

[Shelley123]

i have that book but have read it read it yet, its 1 of the 1s that i know will scare me half to death!!!

I like watching the film with Jack Nicolson in it, i find it deliciously scary if you know what i mean

[angieh]

Hi Kazz - how are you doing????

[dandysmom]

which 1s eileen???

Eight book cases; you want one, I have to discard mine; wish I could give one to you!
