Close enough, although maybe not for a race timekeeper. In 2014, he ran the last leg of a 4x100 relay in 8.65 seconds - 0.93 seconds slower than his official world record for the distance. Over to you...
What links the surnames of two former Watford midfielders and a current Bristol Rovers midfielder? I'm off to Spain on Monday so I'll give lots of clues over the weekend if this doesn't prove as easy as I think!
Given the clue of getting about, I assume that the Rovers midfielder is Lee Mansell, and if it's British F1 champions, then I'm guessing that one of the WFC midfielders is Richard Hill but I've no idea who the second one could be.
Sorry, folks...out today and away for 8 days now. I was thinking....Train, Porter, Lines! Not the best question perhaps but done in a hurry. BB, you got the train part so perhaps you could go next. Adios....
A very good one actually... What were the first words spoken by Neil Armstrong when he set foot on the surface of the moon?
His first word after landing was ''Shutdown'', followed by ''Houston - tranquility base here' the eagle has landed''. After stepping outside of the capsule he said either ''That's one small step for man (or a man), one giant leap for mankind'' - he said afterwards, that he had fluffed his lines. Also, he did not actually set his foot on the moon - this would have involved doing it barefoot. So the question is were any steps in the capsule (after landing) considered to have been 'on the moon' ?
Colloquial rather than literal... But you're right. His first words whilst standing on the moon's surface are misquoted as 'That's one small step for man...' He has always insisted that he actually said 'That's one small step for a man...' - which makes more sense grammatically when added to the second part of the quote. Some linguists have attributed the error to Armstrong's very strong Midwest accent, which makes the indefinite article barely audible. . Over to you...
Cheers BB. Ok. a simple one, which 5 countries have been present at every modern summer olympics since 1896 ?
I must admit to googling it Ok.... Whose birthday is it this week who was transfer listed when a certain Italian came... but outstayed him by 3 years?
