Had to google it; John Phillips, one of the Mamas and Papas, was the artist in question. Presumably released in 2001 because that was the year he died. Also stated that he had a very dark side, having had a 10 year incestuous relationship with his daughter. Another icon hits the dust....
Does Alaska sit on both sides of the date line? You learn something new everyday, I was thinking American Samoa would come into it somewhere....
Pochnoi Point, Semisopochnoi Island, Alaska 51°57′42″N 179°46′23″E — easternmost point in all U.S. territory, by longitude However the dateline is stretched across the long long Aleutian islands so all the USA is in within the "same day" So no Alaska doesn't cross the dateline, because it is artificially bent round, but by longitude it should by a country mile...just googled
Had absolutely no idea...Kilburn....and was going to say Pendine sands S Wales as a joke (just to get your question back to the front of the queue) ....but when I started to type the link to the pics came up.....so is it a panorama of "The Bay of Fires"?? perchance....off to google where the Bay of Fires is now
it was a while back but 249 was the correct answer time difference is going to be a problem so in future if I manage to ask the question I will post the answer before I go to bed
Yes Beth, the Bay of Fires, Tasmania, part of Mount William National Park. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Fires I recently attended a very interesting lecture by Dr. Michael Goodchild (an ex-pat) that touched on the subject of volunteered geographic information and crowd sourcing. http://tomnod.com/2012/04/11/michae...d-online-volunteerism-will-become-mainstream/ http://www.esri.com/news/arcwatch/1208/goodchild-talks.html During his lecture he posted a few photos from around the world and tried to get the audience to indicate their locations. He demonstrated how from analyzing features, e.g. geology, sun angles, names of business signs etc. it is possible to deduce the location of almost any photographed scene - one of his photos happened to be from the Australian outback, where it was possible to home in on a pub that no longer exists to provide the location of that tiny backwater.
Ok, Kilburn.... I will take over................... John Godfrey Parry-Thomas was the first driver killed during a world speed record attempt....what happened to Babs?
A total guess - Babs was his dog he took with him, Babs survived unharmed....or Babs was his teddy/stuffed toy mascot, survived unharmed.
No incorrect Stan.. I think it was Mr Whoppit, who was Donald Campbells mascot, that was lost when he died on Winderemere lake attemptempting the water speed record. Babs was a bit bigger than a dog or stuffed toy
Complete guess, but was this a land speed record for a horse(obviously pre-motor vehicle, and did Babs die of exhaustion?
Wasn't 'Babs' the name of the car and got completely re-built, so much so that it was unrecognisable?
CORRECTOMUNDO 999s...... Yes Babs was the name of the car.....and it was buried at Pendine sands (which was my random guess for Kilburns pics of Tasmanian beaches...why I thought of it as a question in the first place)...and yes it was rebuilt in a random sort of fashion and is now displayed sometimes in Pendine sands museum of speed. And I know yours.... a staple of the quizzing world........Christian Zeige or is it Ziege. So what uniquely links the Grand National winners Neptune Collonges, Nicolaus Silver and the Lamb, winner of the race in 1868
Pendine Sands was where my father let me "drive" his 1955 Jaguar 2.4, Mark 1 for the first time (I believe just steering it, sitting between his legs with his feet on the pedals?). Pretty exciting stuff aged around seven. It was British Racing Green. I remember being fascinated by the Babs story. please log in to view this image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendine_Sands please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
