Good one.

Couldn't have had something about Kit Marlowe and brought in Dashiell Hammett's detective (my personal favourite)?

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
Not a quiz but a little bit of strange, albeit pointless trivia I came across whislt researching football quizzes. I was surprised to see that at West Ham a few of our Captains have names with 5 letters in both first and second names, Bobby Moore, Billy Bonds, Lucas Neill, Steve Lomas, Steve Potts, Kevin Nolan. Another five have 5 letters in the surname. Noble, Upson, Dicks, Zouma and now Bowen, and yes I am being silly now but you can add Coker and Canio!
