He's gone out of his way to set us up a quiz. What ever he does won't be to everyone's liking. But its only a game!

Not much point in playing if you know all the answer's all the time - just becomes a test of who can press the buttons fastest then!

ffs - just play and have fun.

Perhaps a suggestion might be (if its not too much trouble to Malc) that he changes the category every week - instead of month - so people might be bad on one category one week but ok on another category the next - and visa-versa for other people - that way no one as an advantage over anyone else?

Cheers Sluffy. Not a bad suggestion.

History & Geography next week and then Australian Trivia - HARD. That will teach you all.

Hang on, in terms of Top Goalscorer, how on Earth does Hadden with 26 goals come in "close behind" Leach who'd only scored 21?

So did I, and it's even worse when you know the answer without having to think about it.

Question 3 - Birmingham Bus Routes

Which main road does the 45 and 47 operate along?

Soho Road
Bristol Road
Pershore Road
Hagley Road

Silly me I said the Bristol Road and the correct answer was Pershore Road.

I should have known that one.

just so you know...

the missus has joined - she's can't resist a quiz (and she's actually much better at this general knowledge lark than I am) - so the mystery "Lyth" figure is my missus...

(she has been to the Reebok - so she just about counts as a wanderer - in fact the last time I took her we beat Charlton 4-1 - she's a lucky mascot of sorts...)

Assists count too in hockey scoring - but I wouldn't have got the right answer.

Uncle Travelling Monty.... Where are yooooou???

I got you a better score today, the only ones I had no idea about was:

What is the New River in Islington - a canal

And what is the most important dock on the River Thames - Tilbury???

I don't go to the big smoke often so was most confuuuuuused.... I hope this meets your high expectations???

My questions were really really hard

I complimented your avatar Gertie and you immediately change it to Mark Owen? Badly done Miss Gertie, badly done indeed.
