It would be a bit odd if Villa or St Mirren were forced to play with a glut of black stars adorning their shirts! Good enough for them, IMHO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might as well post this now since I might actually have to do some work over lunch.... It’s the final of the Diddly-Dee Jam Jar Trophy! And in the final, it's the not-so-young upstart Dee_62 up against the battle-scarred veteran, WhiteRoseKillie... a real Aberdeen vs Celtic tussle in prospect. The only difference being I won't charge you £2.30 for a cup of tea like they do at Hampden. And here's the quiz... 11 general knowledge questions and 3 x sets of 3 related questions... no multiple choice... send your answers to me and I'll mark them (if anyone else wants to send me an attempt / put their attempt in spoilers, feel free).

Who played Chief Inspector Jane Tennison in a long-running TV police series? In which Coen Brothers film is a series of murders investigated by heavily pregnant Marge Gunderson? Pets Win Prizes Which Oscar-winning film earned Palm Dog and Golden Collar awards for a Jack Russell called Uggie? What sort of creature was Paul, credited with predicting match results in the 2010 World Cup? Ability in which intellectual field was claimed for the early 20th century racehorse Clever Hans? Antisocial Sciences Embraced by the Nazis, what is the theory and practice of “improving” the genetic quality of humans through selective breeding? What is the name of the discredited “science” which relates personality to the shape of the head? With which cult is the pseudoscience Dianetics particularly associated? Spoiler 1. Bulgaria? 2. ? 3.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Bloody app spoiling things for everybody! Div should go all retro and produce a P+B newsletter once a week that gets posted out. That would solve a lot of problems (while creating lots of new ones). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
