Trivial Pursuit

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Quote:

It's not Robert Maxwell the famous media tycoon and dead bloke. An American who coinicidentally has the same name won a medal, but I won't say which one as I had to use the net to find out.

sorry Badger, I am confused you said you wouldn't say who the other one was. But earlier you said he had the same name, So he is Robert Maxwell, now David has said that is wrong what was you not going to tell us, I am curious. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Don't worry about it Mark.

 

The question as written is about Robert Maxwell, the big fat media tycoon who drowned somewhere near the Canary Islands when he fell from his yacht.

 

Any other Maxwell that Badger may or may not have dug up is irrelevant.

 

OK now?

[Trustme]

Brilliant stuff i,m impressed but can anyone tell me.If smoking is bad for you,how come it cures kippers?

[David Holden]

Thank you for the informative contribution - Not.

 

As no one seems to know the answer to the Robert Maxwell question, it was the Miltary Cross.

 

New Question:

 

Young Love was a number one of Donny Osmond in 1973, but who originally topped the UK charts with this song?

[Barry Scott]

my sources tell me that it was a number one for Tab Hunter.

 

Do I get bonus points for saying that this happened in 1957 and it was number one for seven weeks?

 

Secondly, am I actually right?

[David Holden]

No and Yes

 

(in that order)

[Barry Scott]

curses on the bonus points! Anyway, I'm off to find a suitable question

[Barry Scott]

In what year and in which city did the Detroit Lions play their first game in the NFL (Here's a hint - it wasn't Detroit)

[David Holden]

1930 - Portsmouth?

 

This was before they became Detroit, so I'm not sure if it was you are looking for.

[Barry Scott]

Well that's where the team started so you are in fact most correct

[David Holden]

Ok then on a similiar vein,

 

Which Green Bay hall of famer spent a year out of the game when he was suspended for gambling.

[Barry Scott]

"Golden Boy" Paul Hornung?

[David Holden]

Too easy really <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Barry Scott]

Not on the subject of the NFL?

 

Who wrote Dr. Dre's rap on his single 'Forgot About Dre'?

 

(hint - it was uncredited)

[Trustme]

A dog and a bitch jumped over a ditch,what was the dogs name?

[Barry Scott]

trustme, the laughter lounge can be accessed from the main page

[Martin]

No clue to the question so I will say: Eminem

[Barry Scott]

nope

[Martin]

Well that's me all out of ideas then - and having just done a google search I know realise that that was an exceptionally poor guess as well

[Barry Scott]

i'm trying to think of a clue without giving it away so i'll give you this:

 

"you're dead or you're gone"
