Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 1:14 pm

Good question.

It must have been Churchill surely?

you'd have thought so wouldn't you?

My sources have reliably informed me that Thatcher Thatcher The Milk Snatcher has now been statuified in Westminster, complete with handbag.

Okay then....

The seaside town of Whitby is twinned with which other coastal town?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 4:00 pm

all i know about whitby is that it has a tenuous link to dracula so i'd guess somewhere in transylvania; only i don't know anywhere in transylvania.

I didn't know that, but since Transylvania is land-locked, it's not the right answer. :P

First clue: Remember my fascination of small and remote islands

EDIT: Another crappily researched question.. it's also twinned with Anchorage in Alaska, Whitby in Ontario and some unpronouncable town in Tonga.... but the coastal town I'm thinking of is very famous indeed.

one of the florida keys? key west?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 4:18 pm

Nup. Far more remote and inhospitable than that. And also inextricably linked with the previous question.

hmm the falklands then. port stanley?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 4:29 pm

Bingo and Bravo.

Back to you, my good man.

hurrah! the tip was a good steer.

apologies for going non-PC: according to the BBC disability website, what is the most annoying (and funniest) thing you can say to a dwarf?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 4:36 pm

"I could rest my pint on your head while you give me a blow-job"

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 4:57 pm

that is pobably better than the answer on my card. but it is not right.

in fact it was my bad, the first worst thing you can say is "how's the weather down there?" which is pretty tame.

so i'm looking for number two. it is guessable.
