    Was White City ever a club ground? I'm wondering if the club in question is Orient from when they were Clapton Orient.

    QPR were tenants there twice - in the 30's and the 60's.

    NZ - Thames FC at West Ham Stadium?

    They had the lowest recorded attendance at a FL match when they played our friends up the motorway there in 1930 - and beat them 1-0 <laugh>

    Yes. The ground had a capacity of about 120,000 and the biggest crowd was about 8000 v Exeter. 469 paid to watch them play Luton.

    Over to you BB.

    OK -

    If heat rises, why does ice form on the surface of a body of water first?

    Because water is weird!

    When the temperature of water is below 4 degrees Celsius it becomes less dense the more you cool it. This is another strange property of water.

    So as a body of water cools below 4 degrees, the cooler water (less dense) will rise to the surface where it will turn into ice.

    What do dolphins drink? Be specific, I will be pedantic over the answer.

    According to my neighbour, who works for a Wildlife & Dolphin Watch Centre near here, they get all the fluid they need from fish and squid - which contain upwards of 80% water. So I assume the answer you're looking for is that they don't actually drink because they don't need to?

    Exactly that, they dont drink in the same sense that humans do, but I would have accepted water from their food.Back to you.

    Watford once ruined a team's promotion hopes by scoring nine goals against them without reply in the space of twenty four hours.

    Which team?

    Not sure how many more years I have left on earth...but possibly too few ever to get the right answer to one of these questions...

    Just in case anyone ever asks what the capital of the Philippines is, the answer is Manila and should the question ever come up and anyone else remembers I've already answered it, my question will be "Is oldnickhornet older than oldfrenchhorn?" And in the unlikely event of this happening, I'd also add that I don't know the answer to the question, other than I suspect they are both over 40<laugh>
