HotChocolate Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 1. What year was the last time Santos won the Brazilian Serie A (Campeonato Brasileiro Série A)? 2. Name 3 countries that begin with H. 3. Who are currently 8th in the FIFA World Rankings (nation)? 4. What is the name of Beyonce and Jay-Z's new baby? 5. Which 3 Liverpool players scored the 2nd half goals in the famous Champions League Final comeback in 2005? 6. The well-known slogan "Melts in your mouth, not in your hands" is associated with which brand? 7. The 'Todoroki Athletics Stadium' is in which country? 8. Name 4 of the original Cluedo board game characters/suspects. 9. Who is the current captain of Bayern Munich? 10. What USA State is the Grand Canyon in? Bonus Question: In kris0710’s career thread when managing Sheffield United in the 2015/2016 season he got knocked out of the FA Cup by Huddersfield but what was the score? --------------------------------- Please Note: For question 2 I will NOT accept Holland as an answer, it is more of a nickname given to the Netherlands. If you put 3 countries down and Holland is one of them you will not get a point. And that ssestig has not got a career thread (apologises if you have, I couldn't find one) so I chose kris0710 over AK22 because he has the better overall score.

I made a bet with my mate at HT that we'd give our friend £100 each for her Race for Life sponsorship if they came back to win..... I remember we'd gone on holiday somewhere and I was eager to watch the match when we got to the hotel, got in ran to the TV, AC Milan 3-0 up with like 20 minutes gone? (correct me if I'm wrong) and I was like, ah I've missed all the action. Fortunately I still decided to watch the 2nd half and I was bouncing round the room at full time, even though I'm not a Liverpool fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotChocolate Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 So like I said, I'd show you Pangaea's best answers as they did crack me up, maybe not your kind of comedy but none the less they made me laugh out loud. Who are currently 8th in the FIFA World Rankings (nation)? Again, I've no idea. Who cares about that crap anyway? Betting my house and right ball, okay, not the right ball, on Argentina. What is the name of Beyonce and Jay-Z's new baby? Following up from the forum, Shotgun Steve. It only seems right Which 3 Liverpool players scored the 2nd half goals in the famous Champions League Final comeback in 2005? Think Gerrard scored, but don't know the others. I was too disappointed AC Milan turned off and ****ed up! The well-known slogan "Melts in your mouth, not in your hands" is associated with which brand? Sweet-flavoured Condoms. The 'Todoroki Athletics Stadium' is in which country? Sounds a little Japanese so I'm going with that. I'm so on top of this! Name 4 of the original Cluedo board game characters/suspects. Played this once utter yonks ago so should get a few at least. Mafia, villager, police, witness. Unless I have mixed this up with another stupid game we played while downing beers that one time ---------------------------------------------------------------- And now for the baby names that were brilliantly thought up: Cornelius (SnakXe) Angela Merkel (Flamers) Angel Delight (Raware) Shameless Publicity Stunt (deltablue) Pixie Tinkerbell Kowles-Z (Scribe) HotChocolate! With the exclamation mark (rancer890) - By far the best! Ding Dong (Nobby_McDonald) Fairy Apple Dakota (Adelaidean) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
