HotChocolate Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Don't worry, that person will be named and shamed tomorrow Flamers, you definitely gave the wrong impression first week.

Can't wait to see Nobbys answer where he was trying to be smart and also see who scored 0. Just about to upload them now! ------ Had an idea for Round 10, the last round. Instead of the usual 10 questions with a bonus questions how about 20 questions? No bonus question, it could change the league table dramatically and with it being the final week, always got to go out with a bang? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotChocolate Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm sure all of these would do a better job than a woman *goes into hiding for 3 weeks* Shane Warne (SRL88) – Australian prime minister. Kangeroo Jack (rancer890) – Australian prime minister. Foster advert blokes (various) – Australian prime minister. Crocodile Dundee (AK22) – Australian prime minister. Ned Kelly (SnakeXe) - Australian prime minister, because me moaned about it. Torquebows (hursty2) – Torquays nickname, it made me laugh and does deserve a mention! Broussia Dortmund 6-0 Manchester City (deltablue) - Not a bad guess at the SuperBowl score! Cap Collector (jackripper) - The South African all time leading capped player! 11 players (jackripper) - That is true to be fair, but not what I was looking for. (Question 5) Didn't click the link so I'll say a Morris Minor (jackripper) - I have a feeling our Jack was a bit grumpy -------- And I would just love to thank you all that decided to put N as the capital of Nepal although only 1 of you claimed it to be right (Flamers) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotChocolate Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 7. In what year were FC KØbenhavn founded? Notts County are the oldest club formed in 1862 so I will say it was any year after 1862, which makes my answer correct You really shouldn't have said that to me, I live in Sheffield, I think I'll know which team is the oldest club formed: Sheffield FC formed in 1857 (according to Wikipedia, 24th October) Notts County formed in 1862, (correct me if I'm wrong) the oldest football league club and the oldest professional club.

deltablue Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What about my superbowl answer? Hardly hilarious but surely worth a mention as it was obviously not serious and amusingly wrong on so many levels? Plus career nods are made of win. Just be lucky I didn't put my West Brom side hammering the Blades to reach the playoff, which I nearly did but thought would be a bit cruel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Four points is more than I expected. Had no idea København are that young.

Though now when you mention it, I seem to recall something about it from the back rows of my brain. "F.C. Copenhagen was founded in 1992, as a superstructure between 15-time Danish football champions[/url] (KB) and seven-time Danish football champions " I remember reading that ages ago, I have a very, very strange love affection with FC København, I should go to the doctors about it. So I knew the answer and thought that some may know it (with it being recent,ish). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyBaldBuddhist Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I was only about 80 years out on the København question. Never would have gussed they were that young a club.
