Europe > England > London > Hyde park

edguerin -> RE: The Geographical Quiz (Apr. 4 2009 12:43:40)
way too easy! Just read the name over the entrance: Royal Albert Hall Ron, you want to blur details like that [:-]

Ron.M -> RE: The Geographical Quiz (Apr. 4 2009 12:44:49)
Hmmm... Not too sure if Londoners would accept the building as being in Hyde Park? I dunno though....I don't live there, so it's up to them! Better naming the building really! cheers, Ron Edit: Too late!....Edguerin's got the 10 points (obviously by fowl means! [:D] ) Yes...The venue of the revered guitarists Paco de Lucia and Tomatito and others...

quote: way too easy! "Zoom" functions by software are not allowed, otherwise they may as well give contestants on "University Challenge" a copy of the questions a week in advance with a free laptop to use. [:D] OK then...what and where is this in the UK? (Usual Rules apply!) cheers, Ron Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

quote: obviously by fowl means! Sir, I contest that! Should you insist, I'll take off my glasses next time.[;)] But beware, being near-sighted I can really get up close and have sort of magnifying effect without glasses. Now for the second hint for the non-goat picture: we have an admin on the foro who might (ought to?) know ... Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

edguerin -> RE: The Geographical Quiz (Apr. 4 2009 13:00:11)
An educated guess would be Greenwich

Ron.M -> RE: The Geographical Quiz (Apr. 4 2009 13:13:17)
Bejeezus Sur! And an educated guess on my quarter Sur would be Trinity College, Dublin at all, at all! [:D] (Off Topic....Did you study there Ed?) BTW 100% correct ...and 10 points! cheers, Ron

Ron.M -> RE: The Geographical Quiz (Apr. 4 2009 13:27:22)
The clue to my second picture is that you've probably heard more of the place than read about it. [;)] cheers, Ron Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Ron, 10 points to you [:D] (No, I didnt study there, but I did go to prep-school in Ireland for a while, and returned to Dublin a couple of years ago (after more than 40 years absence) to give a lecture.)
