Something like a Wallaby with an Irish, fruity sounding name. A Paddymelon ? Spelt Pademelon but I prefer the first.
If Pademelon was right then here is the next question - if not ignore it ! I will be out for most of the day so if you know you have the answer then go ahead and set the next one. Which politician had the unique experience of asking Margaret Thatcher a question which left her bereft of an answer - the question was 'Can I call you you' ?
so, confirmed. The question remains. Which Politician had the unique experience of baffling Margaret Thatcher with a question - the question was : 'Can I call you you ' ? If you know the answer then carry on and set the next question without waiting for confirmation.
It was indeed Helmut Kohl whose knowledge of English was extremely limited. The German language uses the formal you (Sie) and the informal (Du) and he wanted to ask if he could use the informal not knowing that English only has one form - The German question 'Darf ich sie duzen' (Perfectly normal in German) came over horribly wrong in English - thus leaving Maggie momentarily lost for words. Over to you Barrie.
It would make sense in German as there is a polite and formal format for 'you' (Sie) and the informal / familiar / speaking to a child format (Du). Hope I'm not treading on your toes Cologne... Who said it? Chancellor Helmut Schmidt? OH BALLS!
Barrie is either thinking long and hard about the next one or he has forgotten us. Until then I'll set the ball rolling again. The biggest loss of British soldiers in one single day was in which battle ?
It wasn't either - I just ended up staying late at work. My question is which Middlesex and England cricketer was on Watford's books?
