13 thanks Zico  Although I guessed you wanted Mark Twain as the answer to Q3. I believe the real answer is that it is unattributed. Some people will have Oscar Wilde as the answer but that is probably just as doubtful as Mark Twain. This has led to a few arguments when I ran quizzes at my old golf c...

I grew up on Pie & Mash and a lot of other stuff that was cheap back then but which today would probably be sold as exotic high-end fare. For example, brown shrimps which came off the fisherman's van that came round on a Sunday Night. Brown shrimps were cheap compared to prawns and were purchase...

Not easy, scored 9 not even close on the connection but thanks Zico

PS In answer to your question, Zico, obviously, an Oscar would have become either a Dicky or a Davie

Can hardly believe it, but thanks to a good few lucky guesses, I have 16 today, thanks Zico

It’s no surprise that people want change when our present government took power with a mandate from a minority of the electorate. If we change government though because of the FPP system we will still be governed by a party that most of us will have voted against. Unless or until we adopt a system ...

Saw these on Sunday Brunch and thought not all Gen Zs are without hope

I did 26 of them, I think I might have got the rest eventually, but it was taking  me a while and I had other things that I had to attend to. Maybe there should have been a time limit. Had it been at a  pub quiz it would have needed a lock-in for me to complete it Anyway, thanks Zico

Home late after a 72-mile journey after watching  "Dear England" at Milton Keynes, and much to my surprise, upon checking the answers, I scored 10, thanks Zico PS if you haven't seen "Dear England ", it's a play on tour from the National Theatre about Gareth Southgate's reign as ...

5 thanks, Zico, which is about four more than I thought I might get.  I knew Yellow and guessed four more. I think the next round of music will probably be an age-related zero. But, as I am out tomorrow, my complete embarrassment can be avoided

11 thanks Zico

Glad we won, BUT let's be honest, our performance was no better than those that led to defeats in the league. We are a bang average side and we struggled against a mid-table Championship side.  And if and when we get relegated, we also will end up mid-table, On the positive side, we scored two good ...

I hope we pick a team which includes youth and experience. My team ( but not Nunos) would be:                                                              Hermansen                                             KWP         Igor    Todibo         Mayers                                                  ...

How many of you remember John Cushley?  38 games between 1967 - 70, Scottish played for Celtic before joining us. Not the biggest centre back well under 6ft.  I once shared a treatment room at the Boleyn Ground with him and the great Bobby Moore, and to this day, I would claim I was not the worst de...
