    If you know the name of the father, you can look up his history in English football. He worked for two clubs, having been signed by a well-known ex-Hornet.

    Yes - both Port vale and Northampton to be precise.

    Over to you.

    If you were in a rush to get to Saint-Dié-Des-Vosges today (28th July), why would you be going to Rosheim tomorrow?

    Exactly. There have been some spectacular crashes involving forty riders some of the time. All yours.

    Cheers...

    Probably another quickie - which best selling book failed to win a literary award as the judges deemed it to have been poorly written?

    Total guess, but was it ‘The Da Vinci Code’?

    The literary award in question was the Nobel Prize in Literature.

    No - that sounds like Nonfiction rather than Fantasy.

    Maybe I should re-word the question - it was the author who failed to win the award rather than the book...
