    So 7 minutes after the question was posed you decided to google it AND post the answer? What's the point of that? I suggest you refrain from posting in this forum in future if that's what you're going to be at. Other people might want a chance to guess.

    did i steal the limelight from you ?
    did you want to look like the clever one able to answer the question ?
    how would we know you didnt google it ?
    did you want to win the prize ?

    What did you win? The award for 'Muppet of the Year' was dished out at Christmas so you've missed the boat for that one.

    why are you getting so worked up about a silly trivia question ?
    why does this question / player mean so much to you ?

    If you think the question's silly then don't post a reply.

    The question doesn't mean anything to me, I just don't like clowns who think it's great to ruin a guy's question. I'm sure that guy wanted serious answers, maybe some debate and all he got was someone who knows how to use google :rolleyes:

    Ah so you want to be praised cause of your honesty. Maybe you're an admirable sort after all :rolleyes:

    There are no prizes in this quiz simply because it would be far too easy for some numbskull to Google most of the answers. If you want to do that to satisfy your knowledge, then fine. But keep it to yourself.

    If you want to play the game then just don't post the answer. Other people have done this in the past (Googled an answer, said "I'd never have got it" but didn't post it to let others who do want to play the game to do so.)

    It's easy to be a prat. There's no prizes for that.
