Yes. They both make footballs. Gilbert rugby and O,neill Gaelic footballs.

Rats, now I have to think up a question through a fog of jet lag.....ok, what is the nearest pub to Loftus Road featured in CAMRAs Good Beer Guide?

For total transparency I don't know the answer to this, and am about to fall into a brief coma, so have fun with it.

According to the app which I have just downloaded but am too mean and befuddled to pay to get the full utility from, the nearest recommended pub to where I am now is 5,391.8 miles away, the Valhalla in Unst.
 
I think it is The Springbok...

If it is listed in the CAMRA guide it wins hands down. I've walked past it many times over the years but never went in.

My perfect Saturday matchday will always be The Crown & Sceptre pre-game, followed by a stirring R's win, then the Coningham Arms for post-match celebrations with the not606 crew and the Irish R's for company!
 
Funny you should mention Watney's Red Barrel as it came up in conversation during the last week, but only in a Monty Python sense.

Probably in this sketch (but I've still got no sound on my laptop) ......

Not the Princess Victoria either....
 
Its a place name, I think where his parents met, or got engaged or something. Without looking it up I couldn't say where it is though.

Indeed Stan where his parents first met; as Colgone goes on to say, Rudyard Lake in Staffordshire.

Curiously I'm just back in from a quiz night. Disappointingly we came 2nd, but watched the eventual winners cheat on their mobiles all night long. What is the world coming to?

Over to you mate.
