12153 Mini Quiz for Abruzzo Eathquake appeal

Ok... All has gone very quiet in donation land soooo...

I will bung a fiver in the pot if somebody can tell me what Buffalo Bill called his gun?

But beware if you answer the question correctly you must be prepared to set the next question and cough up your own fiver if somebody gets it right :bigergrin:

Will this work? Dunno ... Shall we give it a whirl?

Another question (this is much easier than taking my clothes off!) and a fiver from me for the correct answer. A crossword question:

gegs (9 & 4):eerr:

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 04/14/2009 - 14:33

Ryan Gegs who could have played for England but chose foolishly to be Welsh? :bigergrin:

Gis a clue Cinghers dio cane :smile:

Did you know that Ryan Gegs was on the bench for ENGLAND as a teenager but never got onto the pitch? If he had he couldn't have played for Wales and all those years of problems on the left side of Englands midfield would have been solved!

Too late - I've read it!! Boys' banter indeed :rollingeyes:

It's a common misconception that Giggs could have played for the England team. He was born in Cardiff - and went to school in England (just down the road from me as it happens) hence playing for England SCHOOLBOYS. There was, apparently, never any question of him playing for the full England team.

Now what was the question?

gegs (9&4) ... come on we want your fivers!!!

Ooops! I stand corrected!

Since the idea of this thread is to make more money for the appeal a big hint:

Second word (4) is an anagram of 'gegs'

and

the whole you might have with smoked salmon for breakfast.

Neat Clue eh?

A fiver is on its way to the appeal.

Does anyone else have a testing question they're prepared to punt a fiver on?:smile:

2. Fac ut vivas
3. Noli me vocare. Ego te vocabo.
4. Vescere bracis meis
5. Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?
6. Senito aliquos togatos contra me conspirare
7. Non illigitamus carborundum
8. Braccae tuae aperiuntur
9. In dentibus anticis frustum magnum spiniciae habes
10, Vah! Denuone latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur.
