Mastermind Question

[teacake44]

Apart from kids playing with marbles in the 50s and 60s, what else did adults use them for.

22.43 Well done!! crossed post

[Jackdaw33]

They can be used as a base for fish tanks.

[teacake44]

She still puts them in the tray, and places the pot on top so the marbles are on show. Not under the soil in the pot. :0)

[teacake44]

Yes jack I think they did that too. :0)

[Davemano]

Catapult ammunition.

[Mamyalynne]

That was fun.

[teacake44]

Back in the 50/60s they added a decorative aspect along with a useful one. Didn't think anyone would get that :0)

[Peter Pedant]

stop heated water overflowing as it bubbles

does that work - or do the marbles rattle around and it still overflows?

Another Mastermind question, with a simple true or false answer.

It is possible to travel all the way round London on a motorway class road, and end up where you started.

T or F?

[lankeela]

False because the Dartford crossing part of the M25 is not a motorway.

[Hopkirk]

Correct. The M25 starts south of the crossing and ends at the north side.
The crossing is the A282.

[Smowball]

Ok I’m clearly being daft here but if you used them as bottle stops then how on earth would you get them out??

[Hopkirk]

You pushed them in.

[Cloverjo]

Hopkirk, I would guess F.
There must be some quirk in the M25 or M3 or something.

I don’t drive on motorways but I’ve heard Husband have in-depth conversations about driving, especially around London. Please tell the answer tonight.
I won’t be able to sleep till I know ;))

OK, here's another question. Multiple choice this time.

Who sang Walking in the Air, on the Channel 4 film The Snowman?

A. Michael Ball
B. Alex Jones
C. Peter Auty

[Hopkirk]

Oops. Autocorrect.
B should have said Aled Jones

[albaqwerty]

c

[Hopkirk]

Well done Alba

[Peter Pedant]

everyone thinks b but it was c
we dont hear much ( ha pun intended) from Auty these days

we have a decent boy treble in the fambly
and he has to realise in a year or two - he'll be an ordinary bloke like the rest of us. - I dont think any tenor or bass has been a famous treble
