mr pink whistle? a childrens' detective series?

i shall have to research this one.........i'm not saying its wrong, its just that i have never heard of it

 

The only reason that I know about Mr Pink-whistle is that my mother brought me the stories. He goes around country fixing wrongs and solving mysteries. He has a black cat that helps him. I liked the books. He is half fairy so can become invisible, which helps when catching the bad guy.

 

Enid Blyton was one seriously twisted lady. Once, I was trying to find something to read to my 5 year old cousin, and I found an anthology of Enid Blyton's bedtime stories. I flicked through it, and every single story seemed to be about someone getting spanked.

Maybe I'm too PC or something, but no way was I reading that. And then there were the Noddy books, which they had to republish, because of all the references to Noddy and Big Ears getting into bed together.

Still, I remember enjoying the famous 5's and secrets sevens. Those were pretty normal, I think.

 

sorry, just had a look at the official website, didn't see this book you talk about....i looked at their adventure series
http://www.blyton.com/

 

ok, scrolled down a little further in her book list....damm she wrote a lot of books!

Mr Pink-Whistle Series
The Adventures of Mr Pink-Whistle
Mr Pink-Whistle's Party
Mr Pink-Whistle Interferes
Mr Pink-Whistle Has Some Fun

Half man-half pixie, Mr Pink-Whistle can make himself invisible. He is kind at heart, and goes around putting wrongs to right, often with hilarious results. Funny adventures for young readers.


its not really what I had in mind though, i was thinking a little bit older than that, but you can have it if you want

 

I know it wasn't what you were thinking but it lead to some dicussion which is all good.
But having read them they are aimmed at the younger market but when you are 5 they are filled with great suspence and mystry.

 

yeah, but damm, she wrote a lot of books! ......, and they were pretty readable, i think i probably have read about 1/3-1/2 of her books, and i reread those heaps when young.......

Back to the question at hand
Q. Which Country or Region initiated the use of time?

A. Now that depends on what you define as time.
but, the Sumerian culture in now Iraq was the first to use the day clock about 6000 yrs ago
But the calander was in use before then ice-age hunters gouged bone to record laspe of days about 20,000 yrs ago.
But I am sure Lucy and tribe mates noticed the passing of day and years. And that was 3.2 million yrs ago. Maybe even the dinosaurs noticed. Then you have to take in acount alien life forms. hummmmmm, vague question but I think this anwsers it as best as poss.

Q. What is a good pavlova recipe.

 

Yeah it was vague but I was after the middle east (Iraq) region who started using equipment to record time IE: Sundials

 

A. One that works

 

lol
I was meaning how many eggs etc. I have lost my one and was looking for some more. You don't have to actually used it. Just one that is a pav not mergrine

 

I'll have to find a recipe for that, I know it's vital to leave the pav in the oven to cool otherwise it turns to custard. They're kinda hard to make and probably why have never tried. I'v got good cookie recipes though.

Q: How many "s" "i" "p" are there in Missisipi (SP)

 

Mississippi

There's this cute little rhyme the kids learn to spell it properly.

Miss m, miss i, miss s-s-i, miss s-s-i, miss p-p-i

or something like that

 

Next question.

Which british star is in both danger mouse and only fools and horses.

Did you know danger mouse is still on TV, at 7.45am weekdays.

 

I'm pretty sure it's David Jason. I love Penfold, he's so cool.

Q: How much Protein (per 100g) has a jar of Marmite got?

 

David jason was the narator for danger mouse.

Ummm with out looking into 99

 

Nah a little less than that

 

OK this is looking in to it
ingredients: yeast, sugar, salt, mineral salt(508), maltodextrin, colour (caramel), herbs, spices, mineral (iron), vitiams (niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, folate, B12)

No where does it say protein

 

I cant find it either.

 

Aaaahhhh, check the jar of "Our Mate" marmite. It's real marmite none of this pansy fake sanitarium stuff.

 

Sanitarium marmite isnt real?
I wonder what it is then....

 

ground up chops and jellymeat

 

if it really did contain jelly meat it would be full of protein.
