Blisterman · 16-01-2006 09:06PM

Sexton?
Does that have anything to do with six?

Correct answer.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with six. It is a clerical official.

Your question please.

What country is Tiger Beer from?

Inspector Gadget · 31-08-2006 02:24PM

Isn't Tiger the beer that came out of someone noticing that there were no "Indian" beers available in UK curry houses? If I'm right, it's British?

Blisterman · 31-08-2006 02:28PM

No, it's actually Indian.
It wasn't supposed to be a trick question.
Anyway, new question.
