I still maintain that they would likely have had potato's on the farm too.

Only got that one cos of the song, figured she gives out enough about her exes in her songs so why wouldn't she write one about the farm she grew up on

I was SURE it would have been David Beckham.
Ronaldo is just a whingeing Adam's apple in shiny shorts.

I had Beckham down but he just is a different generation now so I switched. All because my Dad loves Ronaldo, thinks the sun shines out of his footballing arse :pac: so I can never forget about him!

Clean slate, probably should have mentioned it at the start.

I have found "my tribe" :cool:

Sorry Kolido I forgot there was a second part to the game & didn't submit any answers.


Wouldn't have made any difference considering I only knew one answer in the first round, so I'm sure it would have been similar for the next round too

Wonder has my shame been outed yet in any of the last 28 pages

Only time will tell if that is a good or a bad thing for me

Hillybilly4

Fab quiz and evening, thanks.
Off to tuck the goats in now if anyone wants to join me.
Tread lightly and bring gingernuts.
Kidding starts in about 2 weeks time...

Kolido

Thanks everyone for playing along, stage 2 starts tomorrow, see you all then.

Irish Aris

Can't believe that I made it, just about but I'll take it.

Thanks for organising Kolido, looking forward for the next rounds

Sawduck

Cheers Kol great quiz, and I'll see all my fellow losers in the losers corner

cee_jay

Thanks Kol, that was fun!

Thanks Kol!

Zaph

Really enjoyed that, thanks Kol.

For anyone still looking for entertainment, Omackeral's ultimate South American flag tournament has just kicked off on the FG Tournaments forum.

Purgative

Thanks Kol. I wouldn't say its the best Paddy's night, but its up there.

ari101

Roll on tomorrow, kinda glad to be in the runner up grouping, ye high scorers have an intimidating range of quiz knowledge!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Really enjoyed that Kol.

Looking forward to Part II and hopefully I can fare as well (if not better) than I did in Part I...

If there's another Sports Round, I'm going to pretend its just called General Knowledge, and maybe I'll fare better... there were 3 of the Sports questions that I probably could've gotten if I spent a few minutes thinking about options instead of just throwing down the first thing that crossed my mind... :pac:

I'm just hoping for no sports questions at all. Apart from rugby. I can do rugby.

hurlingman97

Thanks Kol, just catching up now,
A podium finish (kinda)
My favourite was 4 states begin with A and I missed 1 but included Albuquerque so got it right.

I'd like to request another sports round please and to keep including sports questions in other rounds.
Thanks

Kolido

Thanks for running Kol, look forward to the next round.
