"slugs, spiders or snakes" - "trolls"

Your descriptions, your words, NOT MINE. You criticise other people for the content of their posts, but then come back with the above - I would say pot, kettle and black spring to mind! Let's be very clear - EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion (even the "minority" as someone above puts it), especially when it is put across without being rude or offensive. You may not like the first two posts in this thread - but when the question setter has already asked (and been answered), what possible reason can they have for asking the same question again? There can be wrong on both sides!

Let's give clues by all means, but why keep ruining the hard work of question setters by just giving away all the answers on here? Remember, we are entering quizzes not a lottery. And it's not just me saying it, many others are as well. Recently there seems to have been a spate of people asking for virtually all questions in a couple of quizzes - what enjoyment can that bring?

Just realised that I haven't got an answer for 124 yet. As just a little clue, would someone be kind enough to confirm that it is an English village I am looking for.
Many thanks

I didn't say you were a slug, spider or snake. I said I regard you as I regard the fore mentioned.Wouldn't cuddle them but I know they exist

barber & icntoan. Couple of hints/ clues.
106 - European novelist
124 - English village definitely!

This is the first time I've helped and it's been prompted by the petty backbiting that has crept onto this site.

[Icntoan]

Thanks Woofer. That gives me a steer. It is appreciated.

If you are doing your quiz(zes) unaided why are you spending so much time on this site? For someone who claims not to want to ruin your enjoyment by seeing the answers others have posted you are not doing yourself any favours are you?
Or are you....????

[boysinblue68]

Diane1954 - missed the point again. I didn't say you attributed those words to me directly. You (and many others) continue to criticise (and take the moral high ground) with the language used by some correspondents, but then you have the audacity to come back with comments like the above.

I fail to see how you can criticise some people for the content of their posts and then use those words yourself - it really does not hang together. Surely you can see that? As I said earlier, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there is no need to be rude, offensive or derogatory.

Sodenall . . . . . . you never seem to have anything new to say on Answerbank. You repeat repeat repeat your disdain at other people's efforts in quizzes. It is a daily rant of yours. And you are so boring. It has been pointed out on a number of occasions that AnswerBank is for answering people's questions. There is a Quizzes and Puzzles category. If that is for not asking and answering quiz questions - what is it's purpose. But a more important question would be - what is YOUR purpose. Anyone have the answer please?

"All I care about is not seeing good quizzes ruined by bone idle people being given answers on a plate on this site"

Your personal Utopia doesn't exist sodemall - it hasn't since way before this site or even the World Wide Web. Years ago what you are doing now would be equated to hanging around the library enquiry desk and jumping in to criticise the librarian for giving people the information they needed to answer quizzes.

You really should get over this - it can't be good for you.

[boysinblue68]

youngone and sir.prize - you are clearly missing the point.

Yes, this is a Q&A site - no problems there, but the difference between posting a question on here and doing the work by looking on the internet YOURSELF is that on here the answers come into the public domain, thereby ruining the quizzes for those who want to test themselves.

And yes, I know you don't have to look on here (and I don't),
I want to do the research myself and if I can't find an answer, then I leave a blank space - but, why get someone else to give you an answer-where's the enjoyment in that. These quizzes are not for life threatening sums of money so why ask for the answers? It just turns them into a lottery and I can buy a ticket for that down at Tesco's!

[sir.prize]

Hello, hello, hello boysinblue. I respect your response but if you read the threads involving the said Macmillan picture quiz, you will see that many posts merely 'direct' entrants to where the answers may be found. That is distinctly different to delaring the answers into the public domain. For those of your tendency, it is so simple to tackle the quiz yourself and not even venture onto a site where your quizzical abilities may be diminished by answers being revealed.
Everyone to their own I guess. And yes - on the Tesco adage - eVERY LITTLE HELPs.

[sir.prize]

sodemall - why are you being so persistent? Maybe you could go to the library and leave everyone who chooses to be here on AnswerBank.

And of course, AnswerBank suggest (in their own words) . . . Welcome to The AnswerBank, a free website where you can ask questions, and share your own knowledge by answering other users' questions.

Namely a questions and answers forum, quizzes or otherwise.

So it IS YOU who is missing the point, over and over and over again.

[Icntoan]

Barber- I think you may have an incorrect answer for 120. I think I know which statue you thought it was but following another clue that has been given I have got a definite hit on a Statue in Yorkshire. Thought you would like to know.

[barber]

Thanks ICNTOAN, i'll have to think again any hints on 106 yet?

[Icntoan]

Sorry -a hint was given above for 106 by Woofer.
European novelist. I managed to find it from that clue. Hope you can too. Good luck.

[youngone]

Well said sir-prize.

This is the 21st century, the world wide web has changed the way people do quizzes. It is human nature to want to know the answer to something that one has been unable to find out for oneself. In the past it was difficult to get instant gratification but now it is possible. C'est la vie. And sodemall & boys in blue you can't change that no matter how many times you express your dislike of it.

Me, I hate the fact that there is so much traffic on the roads these days, but I don't stress over it because there's nothing I can do to change the situation. THAT is the point.
