Re: Mikefule rides again (with quiz)

Well, the answer is:

No big surprise

Quite a small one, in fact...

Britain's smallest bird is not the "halfinch". Half inch = very small,
geddit?🙄

We have chaffinches, greenfinches, goldfinches and even a hawfinch, but
not a halfinch. As many people pointed out, Britain's smallest bird is
the goldcrest, although many people wrongly assume it is the wren.

INCORRECT ANSWERS INCLUDED:

- That wheelspins and slides are not possible on a unicycle. Well,
they are on a super skinny road wheel with a slick tyre on a muddy
path! 😎
- The reference to a Hardley Davidson. This was deliberate, but not
amistake. Over here, Harleys are regarded with near universal
scepticism, and are commonly referred to as Hardley Ablesons, Hardley
Able To, or just Hardleys.
- That only a fool would pump his unicycle tyre up to 9 bars.
Anything less than that (around 130 psi) results in pinch flats
because the tyre is only 23 mm section. No, it isn't comfortable,
but it's a very pure riding experience🙂 .

The first correct answer was from *Into the blue*

The funniest was from:
DFORBES
"We have a similar bird over this side of the pond, the lesser halfinch
(locally known as the centitweeter). It's often mistaken for a
mosquito."

Woo Hoo! Let this day go down in history as the day that
semach.the.monkey entered a Mikefule quiz and got it correct!

I did have a slight advantage though; as a part time resident in East
London these days, I know that a halfinch is actually a passtime of
Cockney theives!

No, let -yesterday -go down in history as the day you entered a
Mikefule quiz and got it correct; -today -is the day that will go down
in history as the day it was confirmed to be correct.

I say "precise"; you say "Pedantic git".:p

Mr. Harper: you may of course change your answer. May I suggest you
answer "42". I carefully avoided mentioning who had sent in the
wrong answers, to protect the guilty. I need hardley have bothered.😄

I did consider just replying "Haw Haw!", in my best upper class
English accent, but I didn't, and you missed the bull......
