Trivial Pursuit

[AFF]

Only crumbs there, Rob.

 

Nope & nope.

[Martin]

Custard Cream.

[AFF]

More crumbs. Nope.

[Blinkjim]

Rich tea digestives

 

Bourbons?

[AFF]

Dunk, dunk. Nope & nope.

 

[about 4 more wrong 'uns and I claim the G&N Club Ferrari for the first person to ask a question which elicits 10 incorrect answers.]

[Martin]

Nice biscuits.

[Big J R]

Wagon Wheels ?

[AFF]

Nope to those two.

 

[Mr Holden. You might want to start phoning around to see whether discounts are available on Ferrari Modenas. Red, of course.]

[David Holden]

I phoned Dinky and they said they had sold out.

[Big J R]

Jammy Dodgers ?

[AFF]

Nope, JR, you jammy dodger.

 

[DH, if I may be so bold. On reflection, charcoal if it's a Modena, red if it's a 355. I'll take Rob Howarth's old one pro temps if there is a delay on delivery.]

[Big J R]

Long Shot !

 

I can find a reference to a factory in the East End of London mentioned in 1951.

 

Sprats Dog Biscuits ?

[AFF]

Now you're being silly Big JR. Of course it's not dog biscuits.

 

Proper biscuits. You were close with one of you're earlier stabs, JR. Come on chaps. A popular biscuit, the wrapper has changed marginally over the years but it's still there. Think Eagle comics, conkers, cocoa, Just William stories. All that childhood in the 50's stuff. [Well that's what my father goes on about anyway.]

 

We can't let this one go through the week-end, surely?

[AFF]

I'm bored with this one so I'll give you the answer: 'Penguin'.

 

[Mr Holden. About the Ferrari. Apparently we have signed Ben Abbey today from your lot. As you know, he has real pedigree - The Mighty Shrimpers. 8 points from 11 games? Pshaw! Top 6 by Christmas, Champions by Easter, as Buzz Lightyear, a former Chairman, was fond of saying.

 

Anyway. As a gesture of support for The Mighty Saints, I'll forego the G&N Ferrari if the 'Fleet waive Ben's transfer fee. Our Chairman might be pleased.]

 

The next person on here can ask the next question.

 

 

[Barry Scott]

if I may be so bold...

 

Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions was recently elected to the NFL Hall Of Fame. How many offensive rushing records did he set for the Lions during his career?

[David Holden]

All of them.

 

AFF: we were daft enough to let Ben go at the end of last season so you can have him free and clear. Just wind him up and watch him score.

[chris blanc]

Abbey was great, just don't let him take any penalties lol

 

As for the question, not really one for people to know off the top of their heads is it, so I'll take a stab at 16, that being the number that it states on the Detroit Lions official site.

 

 

[chris blanc]

I'll ask the next question, as there's not many people on, and I think we can assume that the Lions wouldn't lie about the answer on their site.

 

let's stick with the obscure:

 

What was unusual about the Oscar given to the best actor winner in 1937?

[chris blanc]

Can no one get this? If not, I'll post the answer later

[David Holden]

Do you mean the actual Oscar awarded or something about the award?
