I’ve got a question that I doubt anyone will be able to answer:

Who once said—“It might be fun for you and me, but it’s no fun for the beetles”?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Hint - I've just edited it, because I originally spelt Beetles wrongly...

Grand Nagus Zek to Quark in DS9 ?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Yes! How on Earth did you get that?

 

[Deleted member 147267]

I've had lots of practice on Googling stuff. You might be surprised on just how easy that was . Not sure if Firefox has anything to do with it, but
- select text
- right click, choose "search Google for "It might be fun..."
- review the results
In this case, it was first out of 554

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

But I did a search with Google and it never came up, hence I thought, ah something obscure, not on the net.

All I got was loads of Beatles YouTubes.

Mine you, I had spelt beetles as Beatles... I bet that was it...

OK bonus points, what was Thunderbirds Parker's nickname?

And what is his 1st name?

 

[Deleted member 147267]

There is more than one thing that relates to Thunderbirds. Are you referring to the 1960's marionette/puppet show?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Yes, the original and best Thunderbirds. Parker was lady Penelope's chauffeur/butler... And maybe more, there were rumours!

Aloysius Parker, aka Nosey

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Well, I can't think of anymore, you got any?

 

[Minty]

People of a certain age and probably British, no Googling allowed -
What were the names of the firemen in Trumpton?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Pugh, Pugh, Barney, McGrew, Cuthbert, dibble and grub!

 

[Minty]

Nearly
]No - but I'll let someone else have a go before putting you out of your misery...

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

 

[Minty]

Great clip! Still looking for the correct answer though...

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Still looking for the correct answer though...

Well I don't know, in that video, the roll call, called all of the firemen, same as I've named, except for Cuthbert, because it was his morning off. Are you thinking that the captain is part of the fire brigade as well and I've missed out his name?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

"Captain Flack"

 

[Minty]

Yes, that's the one everyone misses. Good proper Pub Quiz question.

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Aloysius Parker, aka Nosey

Correct...
