If anyone has a question ready, be my guest... I got nothing, sorry... just happened to know the previous answer and failed to stop myself... 
To save you the trouble Fez - a quickie. Someone selling a used car says 'This is going to cost a monkey and a string of ponies, and because I like your boat race I'll knock a wicker basket off that'. How much does the car cost ?If anyone has a question ready, be my guest... I got nothing, sorry... just happened to know the previous answer and failed to stop myself...
Sorry Bodbo not 749 quid. How much is a Whicker Basket - to give you a clue it's the same as a Commodore !
All yours Bodbo
As you say the wicker basket is indeed 15 pounds ie. the same as a Pavarotti plus a Lady Godiva - or, alternatively a Commodore (from the song once, twice, three times a lady ie. 3 x Lady Godiva) 
Take it away.
All yours Bodbo
Who decided that a string of ponies is ten ponies?
Not sure why a string should be used to mean 10 of something Dave - it may have nautical origins, to do with frequency of knots ?
Seven short blasts followed by one long blast on the ferry horn, is the signal for man the lifeboats.
You were on a cruise with 765 passengers when there was a lifeboat drill. 142 crew members were expecting it. My best guess. 
We were (all) at sea. The numbers are correct, but it was not a drill!You were on a cruise with 765 passengers when there was a lifeboat drill. 142 crew members were expecting it. My best guess.
Carry on!
Sorry my question has been so uninspiring. I’ll give s hint, and add another question. Answer either.
Hint-we ended up in France trying to get to Spain.
Alternatively, who passed to who to score the goal that brought about the dismantling of a great team , although their great manager blamed the pitch.

I know the second one. Ray Lugg to Barry Endean which led to Bill Shankly breaking up the Liverpool team of that era ?
Excellent! I didn’t even have to mention any names!
As for the boring one-but not for us. We were on the Plymouth-Santander ferry ⛴ on 28th April that caught and turned back to Brest. It was a bit strange. I heard a heavy vibration then quiet and the alarm signal. Out of cabin with passports, medication and mobile phones(?). All quite calm although putting on life jackets for real is stressful. I lost my hearing aid but found it quickly. We returned to our cabins about 3-30. Were then woken again at 4-30 with an announcement telling us not to go on deck-as if we would at that time! A helicopter arrived with a French naval firefighting crew.
As half the engines were out of action, and the bay of Biscay a bit tough, the captain elected to go to Brest. A pity he couldn’t get to St Nazaire, but all’s well etc. We were escorted all the way to Brest by a firefighting tug.
Anyway, enough excitement I thought for 1trip. However, on the way to Santiago de Compostela, I put unleaded in my diesel! Doh! No damage-except another day wasted and another day coming back and 170 euros!
So finally-over to you Cologne!
