Nobby_McDonald Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 OK chaps, here we go. Some are easier than last time as I've not had as much time to think up of some evil questions. 1. Who was known as "The Car Park Champion"? 2. Who were the original regulars on 'A League of Their Own'? 3. Name the seven ancient wonders of the world. 4. Which riders have won the most Tour de France? 5. Which actor has won most Oscars for Best Actor? 6. Which is the only horse to regain the Cheltenham Gold Cup? 7. Which artist was the first to reach number one in the singles, album and download charts in the UK simultaneously? 8. Who were the first team to win automatic promotion to the Football League? 9. Which city hosts the Oktoberfest? 10. How many times have I been relegated in my epic Newcastle Town FM2011 save? Answers on a postcard or sent to my inbox.

SnakeXe Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Personally found those bloody difficult! I know I've got 3 right, had a decent guess at some others, and at least attempted some comedy with the rest - although I think the answer to 1 may be the only actually funny one.

Nobby_McDonald Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Received five sets of answers and people are finding these a lot harder than I expected to be honest.

Nobby_McDonald Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 1. Who was known as "The Car Park Champion"? Severiano Ballesteros, the media gave him that name when a miraculous recovery shot was played from an overspill car park to the 16th green in the final round at Royal Lythmn & St Annes. 2. Who were the original regulars on 'A League of Their Own'? Team captains Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp, team regulars Georgie Thompson and John Bishop and host James Corden. All five got the point. 3. Name the seven ancient wonders of the world. Great Pyramid of Giza Hanging Gardens of Babylon Statue of Zeus at Olympia Temple of Artemis at Ephesus Mausoleum at Halicarnassus Colossus of Rhodes Lighthouse of Alexandria All seven were needed for the point 4. Which riders have won the most Tour de France? Jacques Anquetil, Miguel Indurain, Bernaud Hinault and Eddy Merckx all won five times. Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his seven 'titles'. 5. Which actor has won most Oscars for Best Actor? Daniel Day-Lewis with three. 6. Which is the only horse to regain the Cheltenham Gold Cup? Kauto Star (2009 and 2011) 7. Which artist was the first to reach number one in the singles, album and download charts in the UK simultaneously? Sugababes (It must have been a very quiet week for music) 8. Who were the first team to win automatic promotion to the Football League? Scarborough (1986/7 with Neil Warnock as Manager) 9. Which city hosts the Oktoberfest? Munich 10. How many times have I been relegated in my epic Newcastle Town FM2011 save? Twice (once from the Northern Premier League Premier Division and once from League One) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 And the amusing alternative answers I received... Who was known as "The Car Park Champion"? Stan Collymore (Snake and Dafuge) Which is the only horse to regain the Cheltenham Gold Cup? Tomorrow's Burger (Deltablue) I reckon that horse was 53% beef. How many times have I been relegated in my epic Newcastle Town FM2011 save? To many saves ago so I don't know. 6? (SRL) It’s my current save! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
