Not today, confused. com and picked the wrong one. Hey ho 😊

Not today…my first AND second guesses were wrong.

Yes good story but very much a political go at authority at the time.
Roy

Loved that story. Perhaps more so because "A Modest Proposal" was packaged in with it.😊

I didn't remember his name was 'Lemuel'.. You learn something every day!

Wow! Reloaded my pointing finger and had success. No idea of the answer today.😐

Good one today, brushing up on my 📚 📖

Hi Ron, just switch off the puzzles of the day in your my account page 👍

Stephen

How can not receive the Question and Wordle quiz in my daily emails?

Bets guess worked for me today, I’ll take it…

Didn't we have a 'Hopewell' question early on in this challenge?
I'm not complaining, this question jacked my average up to 93%😉
(Just keeping my nose ahead of Peter😁)
Think 'Germany' is being sabotaged - country average 76% and down to 11th place🤔

G'night all 😎

Portion of frogs legs please, and hop to it...

"I'll have a crocodile sandwich... and make it snappy!!"

The old gags are the best!!

Well that was snappy 😂,

Hi all, recently got interested in 'deep history' and we are in the Holocene period now which is from the last Ice age about 11,800 years ago. The word could translate to Entirely New.

The last major lot of ice to melt was in N. America around the Great Lakes but a much bigger area. It was an enormous volume of water and sea levels rose dramatically the land bridge from Alaska to Russia was wiped out. The way we were connected around Norfolk down past the Thames to Europe was flooded and the North Sea and English channel were created.

So the question answer was in the question! The UK became islands away from the continent. Before this the Thames and the Rhine came together before discharging into the sea.

Probably the Woolly mammoths and the like became extinct when the ice had gone because it snowed so much and vegetation was not available.

I hope the above might be interesting to you. Deep History is a recent Cable/Satelite programme, well presented and produced.

Regards
Roy

2010. Tories landed. Extinction event still possible.🙁

Geography not my strong point this morning 👎

Was the lump from space landing on downing street roof that caused the loss of the brains pool with all the daft policies

Is it that computer games are more in the mind of people that the extinction of the dinosaurs having been there for several 100 million years?

Yucatan peninsula is where the lump from space landed and caused another mass extinction of life. That was the 5th big extinction.
There was another more recent but not as bad. Anyone know when? Also What effect did it have on the British Isles?
Roy

Not a scooby doo this morning, pointy finger picked wrong. Better joy tomorrow 😊

I only got it because Yukatan Peninsular is featured in a computer game I used to play...

Shucks Peter, bad luck.
You musta got a duff cartridge and fired a blank🤔
Was another slightly misleading question though!
Cheers, Doug😎

Got it! I'm buzzing!!😎

I'm with you Roy,👍
But it's hardly a Canal is it!?🙄
Doug😎

My pointing finger ran out of ammunition. Must reload for tomorrow. 😬

I trusted to the event 65M years ago and guessed!

Roy

Think I should have known this…but obviously I didn’t 🤔

all down to that game of Bowls the outcome

On a roll with the qotd,😁

Quite right Doogle. I have a considerable quantity of treasure but SWMBO thinks otherwise.😉

I can identify with that Doogle👍
Only in my case it is my cellar!🤔
😎

I sometimes think I have lots of this in the garage, then remember it's treasure 😂

Happy (knot)
Roy

Happy 😊

I just remember that if my mom used my first, middle and last name I was in for it….🤣

As a child, I heard 3 of the 4 terms...
Strict, harsh & discipline..... well l guess stern could have been used too...
BUT l do remember the finger being waved around at me....😜

Agreed. Harsh skippers, strict disipline, severe weather....

It did occur to me that in the maritime past there was harsh punishment, strict discipline and these days we also get severe weather conditions.
I did have a stern word with myself not to question the answers.

Roy

All is well with the world 🌎 today 👍

Ok, I’m back on track!!

Good morning everyone, on the straight so far 😊

Hi Dougal, in everyone that has ever been alive, those are modern times to them. I bet there were some tearaways in Egypt who waved what ever number of fingers at authority and went hell for leather down the Nile, crocodiles or not!
Roy

Loved to imagine the ancient Egyptian people in speedboats 🚤 😆

helped visiting the country a speedboat would have been fun

Process of elimination today😁

An educated guess this morning which payed off.😀

I recall vaguely the beer festivals in Munich. My lasting memory is watching the rafts going down the Isar, viewed from the English garden. A big keg of beer and a big chap with a punting pole.

Roy

Morning, Doug,
My question to you: is the Munich beer still cool? Despite the heat?
Lukewarm beer is supposed to be undrinkable . .
Oh, I almost forgot! The right answer again, was a bit clearer than others.
Cheers Doug

Now you're testing my school geography, updated by odd bits of news over the years, but I'm pleased to know that my recollection of Sweden occupying the whole of the western side of the Baltic to be correct. So I've not totally lost it, yet !😉

Mon plaisir V. Adm,
Glad he liked it Peter😉
Hope he didn't miaow off key 🐱🙉
