Another little quiz...

19 years ago

At Kath's request. This was posted on the other thread, but I don't think people realized it was there.

NEF - GO

TTE - HEB

WEBT - AM

AHOTWITAAHC - JB

FGTST - EB

SAS - JLC

TSHOHEP - SRC

TDH - JDW

TNT - DLS

STH - EDB

There's a theme here too.

This will be my last post for a couple of weeks, as I'm off on holiday. (Unless I find an internet cafe and can't resist....) Look after yourselves, and have a good time - and I look forward to discussing HP7 with you all when I return.

Sort by:Oldest

Here's a little political quiz......

Posted by minnie_tx: "Dilly if you look at the page with your scores it will give you a link to the questions the right answers and how you did ." Thanks but my problem is that I am not familiar with the correct answers. Now I must Google bios on Michael Steele and Harry Reid (Two of the correct answers to questions I missed.)to find out exactly who/what/where about them. I never really much care to follow politicians on the national level - but I do keep informed about world events, national news and local news. I also take issue with question #1. The way unemployment statistics are tabulated is that only people currently looking for work are counted. Those who become unemployed and become full time students or go on welfare are not counted. I have read in legitimate news sources that true unemployment now is at 20%. Who knows?

What? It's none of the above? I can't imagine what it is then. Oh--is it if they had sex on the first date? I can't think of anything else. Wait, that ain't right--just re-read your last post Jasdip!

Yeah, I figured this out about French Eclectic. Well, I like French and eclectic but not sure about the combination. Don't particularly like this: [Traditional Exterior[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-exterior-home-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_736~s_2107) by Minneapolis Photographers Spacecrafting / Architectural Photography I don't even like the old French Eclectic houses (1926) Now, the original French farmhouse or even chateau I would like.... I bet it was because I checked Bordeaux, Elvis, and crown molding. crown molding Here is a link that might be useful: [Link to French Eclectic on Houzz[(https://www.houzz.com/magazine/roots-of-style-french-eclectic-design-continues-to-charm-stsetivw-vs~15709034) This post was edited by nosoccermom on Fri, Aug 8, 14 at 19:05

Another regional dialect quiz
Q

Well, I came out at 80% Dixie. Isn't Southern pronunciation supposed to be closer to British? Didn't answer the aunt one - aunt rhymes with can't or aren't. We don't do toilet papering, but I have heard of it through another forum with mainly North Americans on it. Called the sandwich a sub but only because we now have Subway. I picked 'you all', but I was thinking of a sentence like 'would you all like coffee?' For other uses it would just be 'you' although unfortunately many Aussies say 'youse'. I didn't know about the bug and would probably say water fountain but nowadays doesn't everyone carry a bottle of water? *VBG*

The theme is numbers?

Figured out right away the theme would have something to do
with numbers, but I would never come up any of the ones
named so far, and didn't make any headway with the rest...
sheesh.

Back from my holiday - had a wonderful time, thanks!

All correct so far.

NEF - GO - Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
TTE - HEB
WEBT - AM
AHOTWITAAHC - JB - History of the World etc by Julian Barnes
FGTST - EB - Five go to Smuggler's Top - Enid Blyton
SAS - JLC - Single and Single - John Le Carre
TSHOHEP - SRC
TDH - JDW
TNT - DLS - The Nine Tailors - Dorothy L Sayers
STH - EDB

It is indeed numbers - in fact, one to ten. So we've got 1,4,5,9 and 10 so far.

Any more?

TSHOHEP - SRC - this one is 7...

STH - EDB - and this one is 6...

They are all non-fiction; 6 and 7 are well known management/self-help type books.

Two left....

TDH - JDW - this one is 2...
STH - EDB - and this one is 6...

The first is a book about one of the major scientific discoveries of the twentieth century.

The second isn't difficult if you think laterally...

Just wanted to let you know that.

I'd like to second that - I don't get many answers but I spend lots of time trying to nut them out.
Thanks Martin.
