Question of the day

[Wanderer]

Capt. Redbeard Rum, a second rate Captain but a first rate second course......

 

[daverichardson]

We must be looking at Captain James Cook, HMS Endeavour was originally a merchant ship called Earl of Pembroke

We have a winner
Pembroke became Endeavour
Rockingham became Adventure and
Granby became Resolution
Some discussion about Cook being Captain or Commander or whatever, but still the head honcho.
Over to Zag

OK, another one on a similar theme you will know or you won't

Anson, Howe, and Rodney never existed but the other in this grouping did what or who was it?

 

[spkennyuk]

Is the missing one Hood.

 

[Wanderer]

Nelson? If I remember my Airfix kits properly HMS Nelson was a new class of battle cruisers but money/interest ran out and even Nelson was curtailed at the stern, shortened and looked very odd.

 

[zagatoes30]

Is the missing one Hood.

Spot on, the only one of the four Admiral-class battlecruisers actually built

Over to you

 

[spkennyuk]

Which animal is Britains largest naitive carnivore ?

 

[Navcorr]

Giant Haystacks or Geoff Capes?
No offence Mark - the other one

 

[spkennyuk]

They would be omnivores

 

[Navcorr]

Thought I had it there. I'm sure one of them brought out a "meat pie diet" book.

 

[CatmanV2]

Which animal is Britains largest naitive carnivore ?

Assuming Great Britain: Scottish Wild Cat?

I'd have thought it might have been the Lynx once, but now extinct in the uk?

Close?

Homosapiens are omnivourous.

<edit: cheated the filter>

 

[daverichardson]

Has not the Lynx been re introduced somewhere in Scotland or Cumbria?
Anyway don't know the answer so a guess at Fox as I have seen some pretty big uns in our neck of the woods.

 

[CatmanV2]

Foxes are omnivores.

[Wanderer]

Is it a wolf?

 

[Vampyrebat]

I think the Badger for land and basking Shark for water!!??

 

[allandwf]

I think the Badger for land and basking Shark for water!!??

Badgers too are omnivores, are they not?

 

[zagatoes30]

I thought it was a Badger but now the omnivore answer has been introduced maybe they are that. Sure I have heard the question in a quiz and don't remember it as being one of those QI questions

 

[Vampyrebat]

Grey Seal then if the Basking Shark doesn't count?
