    Ah, in that case it must be the North European Native Animal Wrangling Modern Pentathlon - vole strangling; badger castration; fox pimping; pine marten coaxing and squirrel (red) taunting. The record is derived from the length of the animals entrails, combined, after cooking.

    Deserves to be right but sadly not.<laugh> Another clue is that I was once privileged to be a spectator for the World championships - and it was not so very far away from where I am now.

    The sport is known as fierljeppen in the land where it is most practised, all you now need is our words for it. Another clue is that you can get very wet whilst learning this.

    Not actually to do with dykes but something else equally Dutch or Frisian.

    O.K. Beth, Far-Jumping is the literal translation. Closer to the actual event is canal leaping, which is a form of pole vaulting for distance over a canal (the pole having a disc at the end to stop it sinking in the mud). The sport is most practised in The Netherlands and in German Friesland. Over to you Beth.

    If you know the code, Flyer's PIN number is embedded in it. Worthless knowledge though, he's got no dosh. I've checked, through my CIA contacts.

    Also it features all the single digit numerals, with no repetition. Though there are multiple other ways to do that.

    Its the unique bar code for a Defensive Midfielder who can pass. And tackle without being carded.

    'Unusual' is not the same as 'unique' Beth.

    Don't be daft Stan, such a midfielder does not exist in the QPR world

    OK...it is both unusual and unique in the little sphere of those numbers

    As has ben said before, all single digit numerals with no repetition. Also, if you read them out loud the digits are in alphabetical order. Is that the solution ?
