What on earth has a wedding to do with figuring out a quiz?

23. 6 B of D for M = 6 Branches of Diffney for Men

Nice...
Now finish it.....

coincidink

but if I finish out the quiz that'd take the fun out of everyone else trying to figure out the answers

(im not getting married btw, its my sisters)

coincidink

You do realise that by posting answers on-line you are reducing your chances of winning - winners from a hat please.... I've never actually entered that quiz - have wrecked my head figuring out the answers but never entered - I must be mentally unbalanced.

mickot

Eh,
B, D P D 9

Beaumont, Dublin Postal District 9 ??

I wreck my head with this every year and don't enter it either!!!

PS I haven't inked in the above on my sheet yet !!

-micko

coincidink

Ballymun - Spread over D9 and D11 - but it listed as D9 for the main st. - goes with the A, DPC 5 from last year - Artane, Dublin Postal code 5 - think it's right but there you go - it's all relative - you could all be seeing something completely different!

Basq

The only ones i want are:

11. N 9, R S H (looks like most people are stumped on this!)
17. the 9 M (can't believe i can't get this, should be easy!)
53. B, D P D 9 (you think that 'Beaumont, Dublin Postal District 9' is right?)

Cheers!

EDIT: Am willing to share any other ones ye require.

StupidLikeAFox

after 11 and 17 i only need
52. the 6 M D M, and
19. 10 E in the D

Really driving me crazy trying to get these ones

coincidink

Did you not watch tv as a child? - the 6 million dollar man

Cheers coincidink.

The only one left now: 11. N 9, R S H (providing 'Beaumont, Dublin Postal District 9' is correct)

coincidink

I think it's a toss between Beaumont and Ballymun - catch 22

mickot

I reckon Ballymun is more likely than Beaumont having considered coincidink's comments

Thanks,
Funny how these things work. I kept thinking of a sporting goods brand when I looked at that clue and couldn't get my brain around it.
They have used bingo calls a lot over the years in Diffneys - just like the postal districts and the 12 days of Christmas ( which I think a more likely answer than "The 22 disciples of Christ" posted earlier BTW).
Time to not enter the competition and wait another year...

So true, well worked out. But, then again, increasing the chances of others.
