In the moment I could not think of a single PM pre Maggie T other than Churchill and I know he wasn't. It was a bad taste joke in the moment of a mind blank of any other possibilities

Good guess by me for MA, I knew Spencer Percival (sp) thanks to Pointless!


But I was completely convinced Hurricane Katrina was before the Asian tsunami

Trigger

Holy ****, I guessed Marie antoinette and Eisenhower. :pac:

*adjusts tie*

*sigh* This is not going well at all.

Though I should probably thank Kolido for choosing the Hurricane Katrina question to put my fairly-close wrong answer up for, and not my ridiculous two-centuries-out answer for the Columbus one.

I'll always remember Katrina as I worked a helpline for my company for staff stranded looking for help
However my Columbus answer is soooo wrong. And I knew it. Just added 300 years to it.

Feck it! I said "1490 something"

I said Thatcher for the assassination, must've happened in a dream.

Second answer I owe to the Crown and my relentless googling of 'did this actually happen?' :pac:

And I knew the tsunami as I worked in Thailand in the aftermath.


Haven't a bogs notion what I put for Columbus, but I'm assuming it was wildly wrong and I'm not checking

Hi Kol, I think I should have two points for that last round? I had Marie Antoinette in my first PM, and then I sent you Spencer Perceval in a separate PM after, when it came to me all of a sudden. You said on thread we could re-submit answers, unless I misread something?
