Well done Summerlove (and Lolo). All done and dusted!

Summerlove Fri 25-Dec-20 01:02:22

Donkey Kong smile

Lolo81 Fri 25-Dec-20 00:17:40

24. Is Donkey King (?) I think - vaguely remember my brother playing it in the 80’s - so my recollection might be a bit wonky but it’s Donkey something ?

24. The video game that Mario first appeared in.

I refuse to Google!

FannyCornforth Thu 24-Dec-20 06:32:28

Ashcombe yes, thank you, that makes sense about Joseph
Goodbyetoallthat - well done! That one's quite clever! (I'd never thought of the origins of the word 'manger').

Is there one left?

Goodbyetoallthat Thu 24-Dec-20 06:21:42

21. Pret a manger?

Ashcombe Thu 24-Dec-20 06:11:07

Thanks, FannyCornforth, I wasn’t certain about that one.

Yes, I think “Joseph” predates “JC, Superstar”, although the former was originally written as a 20 minute cantata to be performed in schools!

17. Cribbage

FannyCornforth Thu 24-Dec-20 04:06:36

22. Carol King (not Lesley Caroll, sorry, she's an actress)

23. Snowball (and the Simpsons' dog is Santa's Little Helper!)

We just need answers to 17, 21 and 24, and I'm not sure of my answer to 9 - could it be Joseph & his Amazing etc?

Lolo hope that he enjoys them!

Lolo81 Wed 23-Dec-20 16:10:38

13. Brussels

Yuck!! I cook them once a year for DH because he loves them (I can’t bear the smell) - it’s his birthday today and he’s more excited about his sprouts on Friday than his gifts from today or anything under the tree ?
