Who wrote, among others, "Money in the bank", "Spring Fever", "Pigs have wings" and "Aunts aren't gentlemen"? Full name, please.

fritzelly · 27-09-2018 09:22PM

Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (ok had to google the full name)

Indeed it was. Your go.

What was the only code (secure communication) in WWII to never be broken

nompere · 27-09-2018 10:28PM

Was that the Navajo speaking code?

You win the internet - next question

Sorry for the delay - real life keeps getting in the way:

What's the odd one out, and why?

French horn
Sousaphone
Saxophone
Trumpet
Trombone
Tuba

New Home · 28-09-2018 01:28PM

Saxophone - the mouthpiece has a reed which the others don't have (admittedly, it's an uneducated guess).

nompere · 28-09-2018 01:46PM

Not really what I'm looking for.

Is one of them a woodwind instrument while the rest are brass?

I thought the French horn might be, but I was getting confused with the English horn (cor anglais).

keane2097 · 28-09-2018 02:01PM

I would have had the sax as the odd one out for the reason above but it's just a guess.

fritzelly · 28-09-2018 02:07PM

If not the above I'm guessing how the sound is produced - all but the sax produce sound from the horn.

nompere · 28-09-2018 02:24PM

keane2097 has it.

Going back to the start of the comp or just since Europe was included in 1979?

I think it’s 16 if you go back the full way and 8/9 after. Roughly

As Europe since 79, I make it 10.

keane2097 · 29-09-2018 09:27AM

I had meant as Europe since '79, in which case the number I have in mind is higher than Srameen's guess.

Just ROI and NI players?

11

fritzelly · 29-09-2018 09:34PM

17

IrishZeus · 29-09-2018 11:55PM

Sticking with 9

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 30-09-2018 11:26AM

I'm with Beasty and now make it 11.

keane2097 · 30-09-2018 11:44AM

Yep I'm pretty sure it's 11 in the European era and 18 total. Beasty wins the watch.

Beasty · 30-09-2018 01:05PM

OK, so a similar question

Throughout the history of the Ryder Cup how many players have represented GB, GB&I and/or Europe from jurisdictions that are not currently part of the EU?

I can only think of 1.

keane2097 · 30-09-2018 01:52PM

Did Yarmo Sandelin play one time?

Beasty · 30-09-2018 03:24PM

It's more than 1, but according to my reference Sandolin was considered Swedish, not Finnish.....

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 30-09-2018 03:36PM

I'm stumped and can't get past Herbert Jolly.
