OT - The Pub Quiz Thread

But is he named after Charlie Austin?

I had two ducks called Hoddle and Waddle... Hoddle died after getting wet in a thunderstorm...no really he did.
Waddle lasted quite a few years longer.
Will have to think of another question

 

Who fought the Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki in Tokyo at the Nippon Budokan on June 26, 1976.
Easy one to Google...but try and guess without

 

I will guess that it’s a boxer. I think I would remember if it was Muhammad Ali, and I don’t, but let’s say him. Or George Foreman.

 

Yes Stan I said it was easy...Ali

 

I google the ones I don’t know if there is no way to make an educated guess, but don’t answer the question, can’t really see the point of this otherwise.

How many countries does Russia have a land border with?

 

Not sure if Russia has a border with Armenia, but a guess at 15.

 

Not according to my calculations.

 

Correction 14. Think I made a mistake on including Uzbekistan.

 

That’s it. I thought Poland’s border with the Kaliningrad enclave might catch a few out. Neither Uzbekistan nor Armenia have land borders though.

 

I will answer with a previous answer....LOADS.
Too late but I was right ...It was loads!!

 

Ah, another scientific term.....

 

Don't forget the enclaves....so will add 2

It is the same scientific term...just reused.

 

Isn’t loads plus 2 technically a shedload? Let’s keep this accurate.

 

Cheers Stan. A quickie without looking at a map - Which of the following cities is the furthest south: New York, Lisbon, Madrid, Naples, Athens, Ankara ?

 

I think oodles goes before shedload and shedloads goes before MILLIONS.
Which in my book is a bigger number than I can count easily on appendages so about 26

 

Jumping straight in without thinking ...New York

 

I would go for that one too, it a lot further south than you think.

 

Much too easy, over to you Nines.
