I think I love you! These days I only tend to get called young by people drawing the pension.

Quite a poetic name, really.

I'm about to hit the road, so it'll be a while before I come up with a question. Feel free to carry on in the meantime.

I'll throw another...

What was Elizabeth Blackwell's claim to fame?

Oh, this is my sort of question! She's even something of a role model for one of my characters.

I believe she was the first female doctor in Britain. IIRC, she wasn't the first to *train* in Britain, but the first to practise.

Stitchawl · 11-11-2011, 09:34 PM

That's the lady! My info says she was the first to actually graduate a legitimate medical school and set up practice!

Give us your best, Shayne!

Friederike von der Osten has a homeopathic practice in Halle, Germany. Her life would be very different if a law change currently being proposed in Britain had been in force in the early 20th century. What job would she be eligible for?

Stitchawl · 11-11-2011, 10:47 PM

Queen?

Shayne Parkinson · 11-11-2011, 10:55 PM

Too easy.

Yes, indeed. She's descended from Queen Victoria's oldest child, a daughter, rather than from her second child, later King Edward VII. Commonwealth leaders recently agreed that it's time to change the rules, from the present Queen's children onwards.

Stitchawl · 11-11-2011, 11:33 PM

Jeez! I was just being facetious! I never even heard of the woman!

Oh well... not to shirk my duties...

What are the two landlocked countries of South America?

I know this one, but I can't think of a question to ask if it becomes my turn.

Kevin8or · 11-12-2011, 04:08 AM

The answer is Bolivia and Paraguay. (I thought of a question.)

"Have you recently taken Viagra?" is a standard question before administering which medication?
