Clanger 1 swears theres a place in Ireland called Lost so is that no 1

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 17 Nov 2006, 23:53

#3 is very wrong.

Clanger 1 is very clever cos he got the answer right to another question in that list! Just get the right number.

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 17 Nov 2006, 23:57

Clanger 1 is she, Clanger 2 is a he, Clanger 3 ( Baby Dragon) is a she, Clanger 4 is a he and none of them are giving me any help with this quiz now. Well Clanger 1 is away out and did get an answer right. She did get a couple earlier when we had to go and drop off spare keys ( took a print out of the clues with us ) but answers had been posted before we got back.

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 18 Nov 2006, 00:14

Is Clanger 1 back home then? Thought she had moved out.

Too tired to join in the quiz tonight Cleopas but will try to catch the next one.

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 18 Nov 2006, 00:15

You'll have missed the Clanger excerpt on QI earlier then?

Still lots of points going Teddygirl.

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 18 Nov 2006, 00:18

Yeah, but I've just woken up and my brain doesn't want to work

She had but came back end of August so it's a bit of a tight squeeze here with most of her stuff in the old coal cupboard.

Saw that QI earlier in the week. Bet no one spotted the Clangers being rude at the time

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 18 Nov 2006, 00:25

Ah, the coal cupboard, is that where Einstein used to sleep?

kipling · Post by **kipling** » 18 Nov 2006, 00:26

23. Ruse
