    8 out of 10 cats prefer horsemeat no doubt...<laugh>

    That could be true, I remember as a kid going to a butcher in Brixton every Saturday morning and buying a pound of horsemeat for my auntie who cooked it for her cats...

    But I thought you were a big fan of Zamora?

    Who is the only ambassador who doesn't have to work in a foreign country?

    On the million to one shot that this question is a double bluff, September 3rd.

    Cricket - Who was the last player to achieve the all-rounder's double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in a county championship season and what unique feat did he perform in the final match of the season to help achieve this double?...

    The last I can recall would be Franklyn Stephenson, but I'd guess that someone has done this since.

    That's the answer, that was before the championship became two divisions, since then the number of games has reduced and it's unusual for a strike bowler of any sort to take 100 wickets.

    Any idea of what he did in the final match against Yorkshire?...
