HotChocolate Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I sent mine before the updated questions I would say you can change your answers. But then I realized it was you Flamers and you'd get it wrong on purpose anyway That's one, I also query whether Brazil ever capped a player called 'Ronlado'. Now, now. We all know who I was meaning, that fat, goofy teeth, pretty decent striker. I thought my Mighty Ducks answer was pretty good but nevermind . Yeah and so did about 4 or 5 other people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I felt bad even having to put top tier in the brackets Just when I was going to point out they'd never won the thing, I saw the bracket and was disappointed Not been in this forum for quite a while now, but will hopefully get more than my usual 3-5 right this time.

Deisler26 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Re: The Mighty Ducks, Anaheim Ducks as they are now known in the NHL were formed as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim having been founded by the Disney company after the movie came out. Disney sold them in 2005 and their name changed. However, Disney also wanted them to change the 'Ducks' name as they claimed they had a trademark, also wanted the arena's name changed which was the Arrowhead Pond. They got their way on the arena (now the Honda Center), but not on the name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotChocolate Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Baa Baa Black Sheep (AK22) – Best answer for the song by far, even beats deltablue's (below). 'Yet another chart-bait love song, that's the same as thousands we've heard before this year alone, and is probably a cover of something a proper band once did' by 'yet another manufactured 2d boyband that only exist because Simon Cowell's a greedy git and anyone who still watches his rubbish need to take a long hard look at themselves, and whose members are bound to end up on Big Brother because they'll have such a taste of fame that they'll really be that desperate for a little bit more, and that's what's really wrong with society today, that we glamourize and give these talentless tits publicity. Never mind the strikers, it's these people that should be taken outside and shot in front of their families, by properly talented musicians like Phil Collins and singers like Adele' (deltablue) – Is the wrong answer. Flamers (deltablue) – I’m sure he’d be honoured to have the cat named after him. Nick Clegg (Nobby and Deisler26) – David Camerons cat again, brilliant.

Pangaea Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Nick Clegg That is ace! deltablue should get a bonus point for the most awesome answer this entire competition though, with the long rant on **** music and PR horny tits. At least it sounds like Adele can sing, which is more than I can say about just about any other pop artist. The music isn't half-bad either. Certainly beats the living s*it out of empty shells like... well, take your pick really, it's all crap. I shudder at the thought of A1, Boyzone and all the other Masterw*nkers that spewed their filthy faces and computer-assisted voices with tacked on and equally cringeworthy dance moves up through my teen years. With that rant aside, I'm happy with 8 points. I'll pretend it was a 10-question round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I was thinking of Nick Clegg, but like the mighty ducks last week, it seemed too predictable.
