Speculation, The Condition George III suffered from was Verigate Porphryia also known as South African porphyria, the condition, once introduced to a bloodline has a 50/50 chance of being passed to any offspring by a carrier or sufferer. Funny thing is the condition is partially treated with high glucose and high carb intake, Chips & Fizzy drinks ! We could have held on to America with the careful application of a fried potato
yes, good of you to keep the thread going think we can continue from where the thread is now, with colognehornets question
Another clue the measurement came about as the result of a rule change - something which in the past was not regulated but now is, and the distance is 2 metres.
OKAY...If you won't take..... Law 2 of the game specifies that the ball is an air-filled sphere with a circumference of 68–70 cm (27–28 in), a weight of 410–450 g (14–16 oz), inflated to a pressure of 0.6 to 1.1 atmospheres (60–111 kPa or 8.7–16.1 psi) "at sea level", Then after reading the whole FA/FIFA rules of the game...................boy I really must get a life The assistant referee is allowed to come on to the pitch 2-3 metres to have a consultation!!! Is that it...or do I need to study the other 144 pages
OK. I can see that this question is blocking the thread a little. The 2 metres is the distance required of a defender at an opponents throw in - which was previously unregulated, and because it was introduced in later times has only ever been measured in metres. I wasn't taking into account ball weight as that is a weight and not a measure. An easier question to get it rolling more quickly. In which historical period was it decided that road traffic throughout most of continental Europe would be on the right ?
Correct ! Prior to the Napoleonic period all traffic was on the left throughout Europe because this practice evolved from the medieval jousting which was obviously on the left due to most people being right handed. So, your turn.
Really must work!!! But what links Tulip, Rose, Orange, Bulldozer and not quite in the same way....Cedar, Jasmine and Yellow
Wild guess, but what about sporting events/venues? I know there is an Orange Bowl game in the US, Rose Bowl Hampshire CC and then....ok looking pretty flimsy.
OK, second wild guess, names given to peaceful (ish) revolutions or social movements - think Orange was in Ukraine, Rose in Georgia, and the others....oh balls, no chance with this one As you may have guessed, I'm also working, allegedly, from home, but have jet lag as an excuse...
Well done Stan, all colour revolutions. Serbia's Bulldozer Revolution (2000); Georgia's Rose Revolution (2003); Ukraine's Orange Revolution (2004). Cedar etc are grouped as colour revolutions...but were not so peaceful So revolutions is the answer over to you...back to work for me
Well, guessing works.... What mammal has been extinct in the wild for nearly 150 years, and what belief about it may have helped to bring about its extinction?
OBVIOUSLY not the answer, but a fact that I love and makes me really sad. The Passenger pigeon ....3.5 million of them in the 1800s, but in 1914, the last one died....in a zoo....and HER NAME WAS MARTHA
