    I'll give it until this afternoon and then post a few clips. It was very funny (to me, at least). :) It was a Channel 4 series made up by funny sketches, it ran from 1999 to 2003.

    I've googled to see what it is having never heard of Smack the Pony or Miranda Hart. Not a chance I was ever getting close to that.

    easy one for you.

    as many of you know I support Everton in football so can you name the following ?

    1/ the year they were founded?
    2/ the year the first became league champions?
    3/ the all time record goalscorer?
    4/ the location of their first football ground and what is there now?
    and 5/ the name they were originally known as?

    As all I knew about them is that they are a football team, I'll pass. Nothing against Everton, I'm totally ignorant of Soccer and GAA.

    P thought they were easy enough but I suppose all questions are easy if you know the answer.
