MikeO Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Brunswick! Brunswick Square, Bloomsbury, London. Brunswick Dock, on the Thames at Blackwall. Brunswick Lake is in Virginia, US of A. And Brunswick are the leading manufacturers of bowling equipment. If that's not the right answer then it bloody well ought to be . Do you come up with these yourself Jim? Clever stuff if you do.

Do you come up with these yourself Jim? Clever stuff if you do. They are all my own invention Mike, I used to do a quiz for GOT mate but so many googled answers I just thought about using a bit of lateral thinking....................it seems to work To your answer...................................no it has bugger all to do with bowling equipment. A clue..................the lake is in Florida Have a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Mine is a perfectly valid answer. Just because it doesn't happen to be the connection you thought of doesn't make it wrong. I blame the questionmaster for setting an ambiguous task. Sack him ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 There is a Lake Kissimme in Florida but what the hell it has to do with other clues I haven't the foggiest, so i reckon its wrong lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Mine is a perfectly valid answer. Just because it doesn't happen to be the connection you thought of doesn't make it wrong. I blame the questionmaster for setting an ambiguous task. Sack him ! Mike please state clearly what you mean by the word valid as it had already been agreed that the answer has something to do with GOLF, nona nona no again my friend. Incidentally Brunswick dock is merely that, it does not form a part of the banks of the Thames as its constructed on reconstituted land so you are wrong yet again, this is becoming a habit Edited March 19, 2009 by Jimmy the blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many lakes in Florida and as Mike has proven there are some in Virginia as well Stick with the Lake, Golf and Florida Big clue the answer is a competition, can't stand the thought of Mike pulling his hair out while building a shed Edited March 19, 2009 by Jimmy the blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 No mention of golf in the original question as far as I can see... What connectsA London Square the banks of the Thames and a lake in America .....and just how do you suppose they got the water from the Thames into Brunswick Dock? Eh? Answer me that!!! In a Volkswagon Beetle perhaps? NO! They channelled it by cutting a dirty big hole in the riverbank! Legally you don't have a leg to stand on and unless I get my prize you'll be hearing from my lawyer in the morning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zequist Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Big clue the answer is a competition, can't stand the thought of Mike pulling his hair out while building a shed I think I might have it. Lake Byron, in Volusia County, Florida Nelson's column, in Trafalgar Square and the Four Seasons Hotel at Canary Wharf, which is on the banks of the Thames Put them together and you get the Byron Nelson Championship, which is played annually at the Four Seasons Resort in the Dallas, Texas area.

Sorry JD that is wrong, Nelsons column is in Trafalgar Sq but the connection carries the name of the square. I'll be away from the site for a few days so the answers to both quizes will be sent to Bill, he can either run the quiz or post the answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Sorry JD that is wrong... Again Jim it's not wrong, I think it's a genius answer....almost as good as Brunswick . You have only yourself to blame for asking questions with multiple answers....you might as well ask us to to name a colour and then say "blue" is wrong because it's not the one you're thinking of . And Bill's very unreliable....best send the answers to me to be on the safe side....I'm very trustworthy :angel: :whistle: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 bump, Anybody want more time, or the answer.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm done with this one. I've spent too much time on it already and all three possible answers I've come up with have either been shot down or already eliminated by Jimmy's hints. And yeah, I am a little frustrated about that. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Jimmys answer in "En Bloc"........... The answer is the Tavistock Cup This is a competition between two huge gold condo's in Florida, one is called Isleworth (which is the name of a stretch of the Thames) and the other is Lake Nona which I have mentioned in the thread three or four times. The participants are all top notch players, Woods, Ells and many others and it was live on the box last week covering six hours TV for two nights. -------------- I think he want somebody to keep the quizzes going til he comes back. Any offers. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
