    No - nothing to do with postal codes.

    No - it's do with something that virtually everyone uses every day, but just in a different format. And it ascends every night at midnight.

    No - although it's a chronological system favoured solely by astronomers, as far as I'm aware.

    I'll give you that - it's the Julian date. Based on the start date of the Julian period - defined in the 16th Century as 1st January 4713 BC - it represents the number of days that have passed since then, so today's date is 20201. I can't for the life of me think why astronomers find it useful though...

    Over to you.

    Yet again I get it right without any preparation for another question.
    Here goes. Which Watford legend only took up football (association) because he'd been banned playing Gaelic football ?

    That should read 'banned from playing Gaelic football' . if anyone was confused that is.
