Same - all though true to form, no idea of that sports person.

Only one of the greatest sports people of his time

That doesn't help in the slightest

I actually know this! But only cos he is old school

I couldn't even guess a real sportsperson for yer man, I just kept thinking of Burritos and hoped a popular Dublin Burrito Bar was named in his honour...

Aside from that one, I'm quite happy with all the rest of my answers.

Me too.

Perfect in control of a ball. Not so perfect in control of a hair trimmer

Mixed bag there. Won't be winning this anyway.

As for the suggested rounds I'd be happy with anything that's not Marvel/superhero related.

Couple of mentions for Dingbats which would be nice.

Stage 2 will begin today. It will contain the same categories as stage 1 and both groups will have the same questions.

I am pleased to announce now though that there will be a requests round also. So, shoot me some topics of interest on this thread and they may appear.

Science, flags, geography

the purple tin

Those geography questions can naff off.
They had that coastline one on Pointless and all but I wasn't paying enough attention at the time

The history of Bohemian FC 1983 to Date

I would like to second this.

On a serious note, I’d like to request either country capitals, US State capitals or national flags

A round on dogs would be great Kolido!


Edit: and I'd like to second Macks suggestion of US state capitals.

aaronjennings

To borrow some other suggestions, I'd love rounds on maths, flags, the MCU and Arrowverse. I'll also throw Doctor Who in as a personal preference

Kolido

Had a quick look at some of the answers, i can see at least 2 of you forgot to answer the picture, maybe you missed it. Purple and Mack I think forgot so far.

As for the requested rounds, think we have enough on geography and sport, was thinking more niche categories.

Unless you want to PM me all 50 US state capitols for an extra 1 point

How about an entire round on the Saved By The Bell-verse

Kolido

Folks I will send out PMs closer to deadline, but please be sure you see all the questions, there are 4 rounds plus the tie breakers today.

RBT and Mack have missed the picture round it seems.

My picture round is in Kol. I was just googling other stuff unrelated to famous landmarks, sports stars and movies

Challenge accepted. :cool:

EDIT: Nvm, I learned all of these not so long ago but there are still a couple I can't remember.

Right, that's mine in....


A mixture of stuff I knew (phew, at least I knew some of them) and WTF??? questions.


But I was very proud that I knew the footballer

I think it's better not to have it too niche, where one person has a special interest and everyone else is going WTF.

E.g. there was a Soaps sheep here a couple of weeks ago ( sheep is grand cos you can google for answers), so some would have been able to answer them without any need for google and some would have had to google almost everything.

With a niche category, it makes a game very lopsided if one or two people are really into and every one else hasn't a clue.

Hate to be the one who tells you this but he's a hurler, he's in his club colours there

Answers in just there, left my phone at home this morning so my usual lightning fast response was not there today, sorry Kol!
