Trivial Pursuit

Perhaps everyone else works for a living! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Cattle are described as Bovine, but what sort of animal is decribed as Limacine?

[AFF]

Slug.

 

According to the book, what is the answer to life, love and the universe?

[David Holden]

42

 

Which long standing British Statesman was nicknamed "Manny" and "Sinbad the Sailor"

[Ian_W]

Hmmm... Can we have a clue Unless anyone knows.

[Burnham Lad]

Lord Emmanuel Shinwell?

 

If so, which is the English King who is interred in an Abbey, but not Westminster?

[David Holden]

Well William II i believe is buried in Gloucester Catherdral, but that isn't an Abbey.

[Burnham Lad]

You're right - it's not him...... Clue - he did fight with a William!

[Ian_W]

William I is in St. Stephen Abbey in Caen, Normandy

 

Henry I is in Reading Abbey

 

So am guessing it is one of these two - but you say English King rather than King of England, so probably the later

 

 

[David Holden]

Possibly Harold I in Battle Abbey?

[Burnham Lad]

You're right, except he was Harold II (Harald 1, Harefoot son of [****!!****] was from 1035 - 1040)and was interred in Waltham Abbey, despite his death at Battle.

 

Sorry Ian, as you know you are correct about Henry 1st in Reading Abbey, my fault - perhaps I should have said Saxon King, but that might have been a real giveaway!

 

Over to David, I think?

[David Holden]

Something a little easier I think <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

Who wrote Billy Elliot?

[Ian_W]

Melvin Burgess

[Ian_W]

Mr Simonite is a character in a very popular sitcom - but who is he better known as?

[AFF]

Lee Hall.

 

Everyone in the world knows that the 60's hippy/flower power hit '(If you're going to) San Francisco' was recorded by Scott MacKenzie.

 

This American singer had but one other U.K. chart success. Name that tune.

[AFF]

Err. Greetings O Persecuted Great One.

 

'Billy Elliot was written by Lee Hall.

 

[Any news on my application to become a Director?] [That's not the trivial Pursuit question, by the way.]

Like an Old Time Movie?

[AFF]

That's the corrrrrrecccccttttt answer.

 

DH. Ian_W is having a tough time at the moment. A small gesture might assist. You know what to do!

 

 

[David Holden]

You think that would help?

 

In which city was Lady Jane Grey crowned Queen of England?

[AFF]

Errr No, actually. I was thinking that you could have used Ian_W's question about Mr Simoniz or whatever. Small gesture etc.

 

Let me help out now.

 

Lady Jane Grey was crowned Queen of England at Canvey Island.

 

Now. Mr Simonite is a character in a very popular sit-com [whatever that is]. What is he better known as?
