Spade_Cooley 9,639 Posted October 18, 2016 Celebrate London Month Of The Dead You'd have thought we'd get a stall one year. Maybe a presentation where I can explain in great length who Andrew Millwall was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,559 Posted October 18, 2016 Aye, but then we have the shocking twist when the Queen herself comes over for a quick chat with Spade at the stall, only to say "You jammy sod with Salhana, one was on course for a fourth DDP win!" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,942 Posted October 23, 2016 Aye, but then we have the shocking twist when the Queen herself comes over for a quick chat with Spade at the stall, only to say "You jammy sod with Salhana, one was on course for a fourth DDP win!" I see the lunatic got let out of the asylum, for his sentence is etched upon the institute, and when he wakes he shall annul the sins for which he belies responsibility. A shame forthwith he diatribes to the oblivious through medium of dance and word as if he's fallen for the bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Which ancient British queen is this, Boudicca or Cleopatra?" Riiight. They are on thin ice with James Joyce and Oscar Wilde as "British icons". Oh, and they spelled the Duke of Edinburgh's name wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,056 Posted November 1, 2016 I missed a few of the early royalty ones but bar that it was a cakewalk. When one of the choices on a question is Gloria Steinem and it's a quiz about Brits, that kind of narrows it down doesn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got bored after a few, but every one can be got from being obvious, the way the question is phrased, or the obviously wrong answers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I remember it was Diana they suggested was an iconic humanitarian not Thatcher, not taking the whole quiz again to find out though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,559 Posted November 19, 2016 Thought this was more appropriate here than in the Anniversary thread. Sir Basil Spence put down his theodolite for good this day 40 years ago, aged 67. If you're interested he was responsible for propagating the brutalist style of architecture and designed the new Coventry cathedral. Ah yes, the brains behind Hutchesontown C Block. In the midst of the mass "demolish all the poor peoples houses" Gorbals craze of the 1950s-70s, Spence was brought in to deal with C, which lasted until 1993. Structural issues, and continual damp. When it were demolished, the debris hit and killed a woman. Still, could be worse. He could have designed Hutchesontown E. Most of which lasted barely a decade due to structure issues, and the two survivors, the Sandiefield flats, were demolished in 2013 to much joy. At least nothing of interest got demolished for this folly. Roughly the same spot in August 2016. Anyhow, this is here because there's a collection of nice Old Glasgow photos from the 1970s on Urban Glasgow. Could take up a few minutes. Or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
