The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Every letter at least once.
Except the letter 's'. "Jumps" instead of "jumped" works. 2: Which Delacroix painting celebrated 1830's July Revolution?
Liberty Leading the People
[have stood in front of this twice, once at the Louvre, and once at a Delacroix exhibit; it is an astonishing thing that can be stared at indefinitely]
3: Which school was in a "cradle of fog and fog-bred pestilence"?
that's from Jane Eyre... can't recall the name of the place though...
8: Which chart did Oliver and Olivia top in both 2009 and 2010?
baby names
[Asy plagued herself coming up with an uncommon name for spawn. Clearly succeeded: how many other children do you know named Thingummie minor....?] It is indeed a name most unique.
The quick fox jumped over the lazy dog's back, is what I was taught at my own 'Dotheboys Hall' , although in this case we are looking for the school in Jane Eyre... a most depressing read.
A few loose ends there for anyone with time to spare this chilly Sunday.
The quick fox jumped over the lazy dog's back
Still doesn't work. No "w". Auntie R says the school was Lowood.1: Bangui is the capital of which aptly named country? Central African Republic. For a short time it was the Central African Empire under the Emperor Bokassa - a very nasty man wot was rumoured to keep various body parts of his enemies in his fridge, and eat them from time to time.
4: Which teams compete for the Pataudi Trophy? Creature guessed England v India because the Nawab of Pataudi used to captain Sussex. Auntie R told me he also captained India, as did his father. His father also played Test crichet for England.
5: Whose acting debut was in Hercules In New York? The future Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzeneggeroops it's the quick browwn fox..... etc
I was surprised to hear of 'Olivia' topping the baby-names in 2009/10. I have only ever met one small Olivia, but many Emilys, Alices, Isabellas. But then again I meet very few little children these days
It is indeed a name most unique.
