bumblebee Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 With the day that is in it tomorrow here is a topical one. The legend says St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. But what is the real reason there are no snakes native to Ireland yet there are in Britain? Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Keep guessing, old sport! Names of famous gold mines in Oz..... With the day that is in it tomorrow here is a topical one. The legend says St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. But what is the real reason there are no snakes native to Ireland yet there are in Britain? The land mass that is now Ireland had seperated from the land mass that is now Britain before Britain had seperated from the land mass of Europe....the snakes hadnt spread that far from warmer climes ,so never actually reached Ireland!

bumblebee Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Is it that the Emerald Isle was completely icebound during the last ice age, whereas southern parts of england remained free of ice? A fine educated deduction and correct answer. Being cold blooded they would not survive crossing the ice bridge. Quote Link to comment

Exactly willie and then like already mentioned they could not handle the icy roads. Quote Link to comment

bumblebee Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Another Paddy's Day one for you. The Guinness brewery in Dublin is called St. James's Gate Brewery. Why was it called so? Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Another Paddy's Day one for you. The Guinness brewery in Dublin is called St. James's Gate Brewery. Why was it called so? This one might be a tad difficult so I'll give you a clue. There is a connection with somewhere/something in Spain. Quote Link to comment
Patrick Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 They all won the Irish Grand National. Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 This one might be a tad difficult so I'll give you a clue. There is a connection with somewhere/something in Spain. Another clue I guess. The actual gate is on the banks of the River Liffey and in medieval times people meet there to start a journey. Where were they going? The Spanish name for James should give it away. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sunderland did it in 1979, and Villa did it in 1981. Who did it in 1980? Secretariat? Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 That answer is sooooo close - but not close enough, I'm afraid. They all won The Grand National in the 19th century. Try this one: Sunderland did it in 1979, and Villa did it in 1981. Who did it in 1980? for a person who's NOT a football fan,thats a nice question 67..............alan Sunderland scored the winner for arsenal in 79(i can't forget that) and Ricky Villa scored the winner (god bless his argentinian cotton socks) against Man Citeh.......I cant forget that either.....I have to confess....I had to google 1980 (alzheimers is kicking in) Trevor Brooking scored the winning goal in 1980 for West Ham against Arsenal.....OK ,maybe i'm disqualified for googling(but it was worth it).... OK-Another football-ish question.....Stockport County changed their kit from blue and white stripes /black shorts ...in 1982......WHY did they do that? Secretariat? Not a horse racing question jaidee....football .... Quote Link to comment

I hate to leave a question hanging so I'll reveal all. The gate is called St James's as if was there that pilgrims gathered to start their journey to the Spanish French border and the beginning of the Camino de Santiago(St James) leading eventually to the city of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.

Patrick Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Bugger BB, I just saw your clue and was about to post Camino as the answer...then you went and told us..grrrr Quote Link to comment

bumblebee Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 no one attempting this question?..... 67?.....clue- military confrontation....... Ah because they are the same colours as the Argentina national team. Quote Link to comment
williethepimp Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Ah because they are the same colours as the Argentina national team. Correctamundo BB.....the smacked arses running Stockport County FC decided to change their kit (the same kit as Argentina) because of the Falklands war.........by the way,theyve never had any luck since then,and theyre now languishing in the 6th tier of English football Quote Link to comment
