1. alan shearer.
2. colour clash with germany. either england lost the toss or germany didn't bring a change of kit. incidentally, man utd played in all blue when they won the european cup in 1968. clear hints in both cases to rethink their kits, expecially england's boring one.

20. she don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie. cocaine.

some guesses, of course, and i accidentally saw someone else's answer to 18, and can't think of a reasonable alternative.

 

If this is a wind up, well done!

 

it isn't a wind-up, and thank you. but why do you think it might have been?

 

ah, i see what you mean. i didn't know when you posted the questions and i wanted to put my answers in without looking at what anyone else had put, so didn't see that you'd already posted the answers.

 

Blimey, I scored a mighty 3!

 

I post the quiz and give the answers around a week later when I put answers below on the post. Credit where it's due, you had a go and didn't do too bad.
