Here ye, here ye!

Day one of my Christmas Quiz Smile

All welcome, sadly no prizes - except a smug smile and a pat on your own back Grin

I'll post one question per day until Christmas Eve.

So, grab yourself a festive drink and snack of your choice and keep away from Google!

Bets of luck Xmas Smile

Who's up for question 2:

In the movie 'Babe', what gift do Farmer Hoggett and his wife get from their son for Christmas?

It's a rather vague nod to Christmas... but it's my quiz Grin

Is it a fax machine or something similar - I remember them looking perplexed!

elQuintoConyo · 02/12/2020 13:30

Gosh that was fast! I think i need to pull out some more difficult questions...

To make a Christmas emoji, you write, eg, fsmile in the square brackets [ fsmile ] without spaces Xmas Smile or fgrin/fangry/fwine?

[fwine] [fcake]

That's not the one that gave birth is it?

FelicityPike · 03/12/2020 11:28

He was kidnapped?

TrickyD · 03/12/2020 12:45

Caught and imprisoned by an opponent.

Nowisthemonthofmaying · 03/12/2020 14:37

Ooh gosh no idea. Did he die? Get drunk and fall into the incense burner?

FelicityPike has it! Well done!

He was de-robed and whisked off on a horse, in Rome, but the Romans loved him and bolted all the exits to the city so the kidnappers couldn't escape!

It's s great story!

Counting down to day four.... Xmas Smile
