wiki-illiam #105: q6

[dubdobdee]

Who or what:
i: are endocrine?
ii: invested in the Goat?
iii: is overlooked by Calum's Hill?
iv: is repetitious (and inspiring) at Cardiff?
v: is neither brightly coloured nor feathered?
vi: were placed in 774 pots, 39 tubs and 24 boxes?
vii: nickname has been applied to the Ukraine?
viii: emphasises enthusiasm for a new idea?
ix: is flavoured with cloves?
x: is palindromic?

The theme here will presumably emerge when we have a handful. For xi, is there an bouze?

(sorry about yesterday i had a 50-page catalogue to proof) (people wishing to google earlier questions can have at them i think, inc.the executions one...)

Endocrine glands! (I fear that this is far too simplistic an answer)

The Goat was a nickname of Virginia Woolf's.

ix and x could be anything!

I am not very helpful today, am I?

oo oo!

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

theme is bread! (i think)

i: sweetbreads

vi: breadfruits -- capt.cook or else the guy who marlon brando mutinied at
vii: breadbasket of the russias (or something)

ix: bread sauce!

yes vii) was the only one I knew - was quite confused by the vagueness of the others but will start thinking about bread now...

Re: oo oo!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

vi) could this be loaves (w/fishes) from the Sermon on the Mount

Re: oo oo!

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

"tubs" doesn't seem a very biblical concept, somehow

Re: oo oo!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

D'oh (DOUGH)

Naan is palindromic, but that doesn't seem very impressive. Is there an alternate spelling of challah which omits the c?

v) if theme is bread is there something like 'peacock bread' ?

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Is there a Peacock Bakeries in existence?

I know there's a Hummingbird Bakeries in West London somewhere but don't know if that's too obscure...

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

i doubt the theme will go as wide as "bakery" -- it will be types of bread or loaf, or things with same in the name

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

I think Catherine has a cookbook of theirs! So not totally obscure.

vii) Ukraine is the breadbasket of [somewhere that might be Europe or Russia or USSR]!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

OK I should really read the other comments before posting.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

yes USE YOUR LOAF (vii) (possibly)

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Alas that (SugarLOAF) mountain seems hard to climb this am

[ruudboy.livejournal.com]

Could that be the answer to iii?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

seems plausible -- unless someone outright knows it is easily checked

[ruudboy.livejournal.com]

iv Bread of Heaven innit.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

good answer!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

viii) Can you toast a new idea? A bit tenuous I think :(

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

i do think this is "that's really using your loaf"

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

Best idea since sliced bread!

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

haha yes that is a bit better, isn't it?

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

is iii a straight geography question?

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Calum's Hill is the English translation of Ben Challum or Beinn Challuim in the Highlands (near Crianlarich). Googling this however doesn't reveal any obvious (to me) bread connection in the surrounds.

Googling this also reveals fora doing this quiz have said the above too, but I dunno if it got them anywhere. Could be red herring.
