Trivial Pursuit

[David Holden]

Well I could have done if I had known the answer <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[David Holden]

Ah found it!

 

He was Compo's son in Last of the Summer Wine!

 

So now back to the original question as Canvey Island is not a city

 

In which city was Lady Jane Grey crowned Queen of England?

Oi DH, sir. Just quickly. First look at the thread ever for myself. I reached page 1 of 4 when I noticed you asked what is the largest mountain in the world. Mauna Kea is a volcano, is it not?

Forgot about his Son - but of course Compo's surname was Simonite

City of London.

(better wait for confirmation as I got the last one wrong!)

[David Holden]

Well that wasn't the answer I had but further research says Baynards castle which is in the City of London.

 

Next time I go to Gloucester, I must reread that notice <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[David Holden]

Hmmmmmmm this can drive you Mad. Your go Ian but have a look at this

[Ian_W]

In fact you are wrong

 

She was actually crowned in the White Tower at the Tower of London.

[Ian_W]

In 1985 Zola Budd smashed the 5,000 metre record

 

She completed it in barefoot in a time of 14 minutes and 48.07 seconds.

 

But who came second?

 

[chris blanc]

Ingrid Kristiansen

 

Which is the deepest lake in the world?

[Ian_W]

Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia

 

Which airport is the highest in the world

[EFM's Librarian]

La Paz?

[Jeff]

Quito?

[Ian_W]

Neither.

 

Both the highest two are in China somewhere.

[chris blanc]

I thought the highest airport in the world was in Tibet? Bangda. Despite what the chinese would like the world to believe, Tibet is not in China.

 

Is Bangda right?

[AFF]

Hi Ian_W.

 

If you say that Tibet's in China, that's entirely good enough for me.

 

DH. If you say that a volcano is a mountain, that's fine, too.

 

Chris Blanc. As a Moderator, if you say that the Atlantic Ocean is not a lake, well I'm with you on that one, too.

 

[Any news on my appointment as Director yet chaps?]

 

Where are we on the questions anyway?

What else would it be, a hill?

[chris blanc]

According to the Guinness Book of Records, Mt Everest is the Highest mountain, but Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain. So that wraps that one up lol

 

Was I right with the Bangda Airport answer?

[Rob_the_Saint]

Chris,

 

1. Bangda= 4333 metres

2. La Paz= 4060 metres

3. Lhasa= 3500 metres

 

Over to you, I think.
