Don't drink spirits, and in particular, whisky, nowadays:
have seen what it does to people, and it isn't nice.

It is now seven hours since Q # 248 was asked
and over 4 hours since 4Stands was notified on here that his answer was correct
it is not the point of the quiz to wait for hours on end for someone to put in an appearance when it's their turn....
so I'll have to do the needful for
Q # 249
What is the official name of Roma's main station?

Post by yenilira on Mar 13, 2012 20:15:38 GMT 1
Something to do with the American War of Independence, I'm sure, from what I can remember of history, though Independence Day is the 14th.
I'll have to have a think.
(I was going to say at first, with all the Frog lingo flying about, that it was The French Revolution, but that was in the late 1700s.)
'Tale of Two Cities' and all that....

Post by tangerinerob79 on Mar 13, 2012 21:19:33 GMT 1
Close enough Sherlock, yes John Adams and Thomas Jefferson by a remarkable coincidence the second and third presidents of the United States both died on the fiftieth anniversary of the declaration of independence!!!
Good question for me!!!!

better add another question before i get told off by the schoolteacher again...... next question, France obviously tries to set itself as being more chic and culturally advanced than anywhere else in the world.However, some parts are positively stone age. name the two major stone age monuments in France, one art , one sculpture(?) ?

Et je suppose, 4Stands, que vous êtes une autre qui a pris français à l'école - Highers?
Incroyable ce que l'on peut retenir de ces jours où vous rendre dans ce pays si souvent depuis.
Q # 253 -
There's something- stone or stones? - over in Brittany, I'm sure I read it - been to Normandy quite a few times (next door)

Post by roadchefourstands on Mar 14, 2012 12:06:18 GMT 1
You are correct about the Carnac stones in Brittany, fields and fields of massive stones in formation and placed in strange designs. Far more interesting than our stonehenge.
...and the Art??
my french is school then personal study to keep up with the family over there. They all speak fluent French and English, and swap between languages mid sentence!!

Wasn't too sure about those stones' names. The other in Paris? The (Egyptian) obelisk in Place de la Concorde? I wouldn't call that one "art" though, more of a sculpture. And the " Mona Lisa" is not old enough!
