If I haven't please fire it in my direction next week

[zico]

I took out a Young Ones question and replaced it with the Timothy Lumsden question as I have a hunch you may have used it next week.

[Mad Dog]

"Couple of overlap questions and one similar. I had ""which town was fawlty towers set"""

14. Thanks MD.

[easthammer]

9 for me thanks MD

[zico]

"Zeb, it was MD's quiz, ;-) That goal was the week after my dad died. I'd been really down all week and done pretty much nothing. The Mrs at the time told me to watch the football on Sky and when that gaol went in a smile appeared and I thought dad would have loved that. Glad Moyes wasn't manager then or I might have jumped off Beachy Head!!"

[zebthecat]

"14 today tht zico. THAT goal was perfect. Great pass from Foe to Trev, even better cross and Boom!."

[zico]

"BTW yes knew about Allcock, rather sad brutal battle against cancer. Poor fella, horrible disease."

[zico]

"""Simpson is another one that passed its sell by date"" He certainly has according to the news! Ag ag. OFAH should have finished when they became millionaires. The last three there was no grandad or Albert to bounce off, although there were more laughs than most of the dross that we get today! No worries I'll do the sitcoms early in the week."

[Mad Dog]

"Winterbern stirred up the allcock thing and gave him mouth when Paolo was walking off. Paulo turned back at him and nutty nige admitted he shat himself (figuratively, I assume)"

[mallard]

"17 Thanks MD, I thought Winterburn as well!! Also, couldn’t think for the life of me who was in goal for Everton and no knowledge on Opera!"

[Mad Dog]

Just found out paul allcock passed away 6 years ago

[Mad Dog]

"Think whomail isn't working. If you do UK sitcoms early in the week I'll be able to make changes to the questions I've made up I DID like ofah in earlier years, but as with a lot of things once it's pissed me off I find it hard to enjoy the earlier ones. Simpson is another one that passed its sellbydate, now I can't watch the early ones"

[zico]

"Thanks MD. Happy with 16, guessed Winterburn rather than James and had no idea about the shorts! Oddly enough I have both US and UK sitcoms next week. Shall I forward you my questions for the UK ones via WHO Mail and you can use some of them if you want? Not worth us both doing same subject. BTW You don't like OFAH?! Heresy Sir, heresy! ;-)"

"14 today thanks Zico, not that I have green fingers or Magnolia walls talking of which I wish to claim a point for my answer to Q1. My answer Off-white Definition of Magnolia (from some dubious website) ""Magnolia is an ivory off-white and part of our Whites collection. This soft white is a reminder of that the first hints of spring are the many trees and flowers that begin to bloom. Try Magnolia as a warmer white option throughout your home interior. "" Your question was what colour? Magnolia is not the same colour for all paints but all magnolia paints are off-whites. I hope the fact that I already scored reasonably on this round colour your judgement:)"

[zebthecat]

17 today thanks zico. Gardening is one my things which helped a lot.

[zico]

Sorry that was tough chaps. I know nothing about plants so didn't know if the questions were easy or hard!
