MikeO Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thinking Scottish worked for a few...also there were two "Palaces" so I switched the second one to VILLA which I think works better. The sun shone BRIGHTON the day we set sail for the ORIENTin a ship with a HULL riddled with holes. We sailed down the river which LEEDsto the sea. We waved to the fair maiden leaning against the MILLWALL. The CREWE was made up of Scots, Irish and others of the CELTICrace. The exception was the cabin boy named PETERHEAD whose job was to STOKE the boilers. He was illiterate, but won our HEARTSwith his STIRLING efforts to improve his READING. He was sent to COVENTRYby the villains on board, who had brought their ARSENALof weapons. They were a rowdy lot and, when drunk, they did in fact WREXHAMfurniture. The voyage made my MOTHERWELL, who had not had a holiday FORFAR too long. We landed LEYTONin the day on the SOUTHENDof the island, below where the locals BURYtheir dead. We crossed a stream and entered a dense forest where the WOLVESroamed freely. We PRESTONregardless and eventually met a group of RANGERS dressed in LINCOLN green. After a days journey we caught some black fish in a ___________ and tried to get milk from a herd of cows, but they objected to having their HUDDERS FIELD (sorry about this one!) At last we came to our destination, the home of the Hawaiian monarch, the QUEEN OF THE SOUTH. She greeted us with a friendly ALLOA, but was obviously upset, as her PALACEhad been smashed when the WALLSALL fell down. While her NEWCASTLEwas being built she had to live in a sumptuous VILLA. When we found the treasure we put the ________ the ship, determined to put it straight in the CLYDEBANK when we got home. That night we ate some DUNDEE cake and some CHELSEAbuns for tea, also some OLDHAM which made us feel ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Did you make this up yourself Bill? I'm not that intelligent Mike came across it on a Quiz forum (Australian) where its been running for weeks, you've done it in a couple of hours.

Proof (if it were needed) that the average Evertonian is 426% more intelligent than the average Orstralian . Wouldn't be at all surprised if Oz Toffees didn't take over the running of the country before long....they're plainly the intellectual elite .

Bill Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I've put the last two in myself BLACKPOOL and LUTON, and this is how the story reads, give yourselves a pat on the back. The sun shone BRIGHTON the day we set sail for the ORIENT in a ship with a HULL riddled with holes. We sailed down the river which LEEDS to the sea and we waved to the fair maiden leaning against the MILLWALL. The CREWE was made up of Scots, Irish and others of the CELTIC race,the exception was the cabin boy named LEICESTER whose job was to STOKE up the boilers. He was illiterate, but won our HEARTS with his STIRLING efforts to improve his READING. He was sent to COVENTRY by the villains on board, who had brought along their ARSENAL of weapons, they were a rowdy lot, and when they got drunk they did in fact WREXHAM furniture. The voyage made my MOTHERWELL who had not had a holiday FORFAR too long. We landed LEYTON in the day on the SOUTHEND of the island, below where the locals BURY their dead. We crossed a stream and entered a dense forest where the WOLVES roamed freely. We PRESTON regardless and eventually met a group of RANGERS dressed in LINCOLN green. After a days journey we caught some black fish in a BLACKPOOL and tried to get milk from a herd of cows, but they objected to having their HUDDERSFIELD (sorry about this one!) At last we came to our destination, the home of the Hawaiian monarch, the QUEEN OF THE SOUTH. She greeted us with a friendly ALLOA but was obviously upset, as her CRYSTAL PALACE had been smashed when the WALLSALL fell down, and while her NEWCASTLE was being built she had to live in a sumptuous VILLA. When we found the treasure we put the LUTON the ship, determined to put it straight in the HALIFAX when we got home. That night we ate some DUNDEE cake and some CHELSEA buns for tea, also some OLDHAM which made us feel ill. Answers... * BRIGHTON * ORIENT, PORTSMOUTH * HULL * LEEDS * MILLWALL * CREWE * CELTIC * LEICESTER, PETER BOROUGH, DON CASTER, BRAD FORD * STOKE * HEARTS * STIRLING * READING * COVENTRY * ARSENAL * WREXHAM wreck some (I know, I know) * MOTHERWELL * FORFAR * LEYTON * SOUTHEND * WOLVES * PRESTON * RANGERS * LINCOLN * BLACKPOOL * HUDDERSFIELD (hey whaddya expect, Einstein i aint) * QUEEN OF THE SOUTH * ALLOA (as in Aloha, get it) * CRYSTAL PALACE * WALSALL - Walls all (what can I say?) * NEWCASTLE * VILLA * LUTON * CLYDEBANK or HALIFAX (either one is good) * DUNDEE * CHELSEA * OLDHAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
