One quiz at a time

No so far. A clue: it's the capital of a small country.

Edinburgh?

Not that small though. But in the right part of Europe.

Not Dublin, more in an eastern direction from there.

No, a proper capital of a member country of the EU.

No, more north-east.

Copenhagen

Yes, it's Copenhagen. My next guess would have been that people in this country are officially fond of Warre's.
On new year's eve, the Danes go completely crazy and throw firecrackers around like mad. The Danish Post seals all postboxes with bolts in Copenhagen two days before new year's eve because people would trow firecrackers inside.
Flash, it's your turn now, again.

OK, I only drank one alcoholic drink this weekend. What was it?

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 22:12 Sun 22 Jun 2014

An ice-cold beer.

Post by **DRT** » 00:24 Mon 23 Jun 2014

Meths?

Post by **flash_uk** » 05:51 Mon 23 Jun 2014

Not beer, not meths!

Champagne?

jdaw1 wrote:Champagne?

Yes, it was Champagne. I could drag it out looking for the producer, but I would end up likely needing to give a clue which would then make it relatively easy! Your turn Julian.

This weekend just gone I attended a wedding in New York, the first gay wedding that I have attended. Immediately after the formalities were done I said to some people that “it is not only my first gay wedding, it is also my first X wedding” (the “X” applying adjectivally to the wedding). Everybody to whom I said this said that it was also their first X wedding.

What was X?

(As some regulars are away clues will be slow in coming. And players are reminded that this is a family-friendly forum.)

Utterly wrong.

Mormon? (hoping it is adjectival rather than adverbial or, as is more likely in terms of my grammar proficiency, remedial)

Are you really suggesting that it could have been a Mormon gay wedding? Really? If you are, no.

My tongue in cheek was visible from space..

Will refrain from further thread hijacking posts.

I was going to suggest Orthodox Jewish, but then... no.

The Xness was not known to me before the formalities.

Not anything that could be construed as being of the same type as a religion. No.

None of these.

LGTrotter wrote:Open air wedding?

Though it was the first open-air wedding that I had attended, some others might well have attended a wedding of this type. So no.

CaliforniaBrad wrote:First day of summer/solstice wedding?

Was it? Maybe. But not the answer?

It might help to focus on the officiating minister (who, separately, admitted to having been on rum+something for six hours), but not on his religion nor like status.

Incomprehensible wedding?

Drunken wedding? Though that could cause issues in the future...

You were all in swimwear, it was in a pool?

A pencil sketch of you in speedos could make a great new avatar btw...

Nothing to do with attire or lack thereof. Focus on the officiating minister, not on me, not on the audience.

No, but closer. What was the thing in his hand, never before seen by me to be used for that purpose?

A term which suggests a pregnancy. This is unlikely in a ♂-♂ wedding.

LGTrotter wrote:An iPad?

Yes. At weddings that I have previously attended the authority read from a book, or perhaps paper. Never before had I seen it done from an iPad. The Dog’s question.

We live in strange and terrible times.

I heard a birdsong a few evenings back which I don't seem to hear that often anymore.

What was the bird?
