Tonyp Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 As above hope canny lasses geography is as good as her phonology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I wouldn't know about phonology,Tonyp. Phonetics was more my thing as I was fascinated by the different mechanisms involved in sound production. However, syntax and lexical development, both from a historical perspective, are more my domain. I'll have a bash at smartypins and let you know how I get on.

Vic Patterson Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I also got bronze on my first try but then the questions were all U.S. I took too long zooming and looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The idea is to get through as many questions as possible until you run out of miles. Got gold on my first go which was 15 questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 So it was that simple Tonyp! Then your definitely right about sticking to what we know. I'll stick to psychology and you stick to .... what was it called again? Ah., yes 'trivia' and I'll just leave the last Word to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyp Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I knew you did psychology,I don't believe in all that cognitive behaviour rubbish it's all set in stone & you can't have an opinion as that's the way it that's why I'd choose sociology its much more interesting at least your allowed an opinion in it. I do like trivia Mmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie/915 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Scoring points!How about agreeing to differ with no one / upmanship.Maybe impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyp Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 "What's this"! 2 intellectual girls sticking together ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Wrong again! Never read psychology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Maggie, don't take it seriously. I don't. I see it more as a bit of daft banter. There is no Point scoring going on - how can there be? I haven't even seen a hint of a discussion let alone an argument. I can't agree to differ with Tonyp because I'm in agreement with him. I've said so (see #13). People "should stick to what they know". Unfortunately they don't Always do that. But it is a democratic World we live in. I've totally lost track of what's been talked about here. It started off with a nice gesture by Brett, very quickly turned to my geography and phonology skills (I don't possess either) and then progressed to simple things being man's things, cognitive behaviour therapy, stones, sociology and intellectual Girls sticking together! I just don't see the Connection. It cannot be a serious dialogue. It must be daft banter. Correction: instead of psychology read linguistics. That was a mistake on my part. I was doing too many things at once - including listening to a debate on the radio about the need for more psychologists in primary care teams here in Scandinavia.

Tonyp Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Canny lass! That's all I'm seeing it as chat as you can see by the end of my discussion I'm mostly saying lol hope you & maggie see it in that lightTony.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith lockey Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I got gold but I found the pin drop a bit 'IFY'. I knew the answer to a few of the question but I could not find the 'exact' place - IE Whitechapel for Ripper murders, Stormont for Irish Parliament. On the Ripper one I dropped the pin on the area of Whitechapel and it kept coming up You have chosen London!! I chose a category - History & Current Affairs - then I looked at Entertainment and hadn't heard of half the 'celebs'. Good fun though, probably try again later.

Brett Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 You can also move the pin to the rough location, then zoom in and re-adjust the pin location. It only registers the pin location once you click submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
