    Jeffrey Archer and Graham Gooch. Is there a play with words? The same day Jeffery Archer was in court and Graham Gooch was caught in a cricket game.

    If Ak is right on the people, I'd say that the answer is Lord(')s. Gooch made his best Test score of 333 at Lord's, and Archer has a seat in the House of Lords.

    While we're waiting for Theo. Are any of you interested in an inter club quiz against the Hoops ? As you know Q.P.R. also have a pub quiz thread and a couple of them are open to the idea (The 2 that know about it anyway) - so it could be good for a laugh. Easy to organize on an extra thread if anyone is interested.

    Glad you enjoyed it. OK, here's another...

    What do Grand Fenwick and Pimlico have in common?

    Grand Fenwick was a fictional country and Pimlico was independent of the UK in the film "passport to Pimlico".

    Hmmm...

    The Duchy of Grand Fenwick was an imaginery country in the book/film The Mouse that Roared, in which there was a character called Will Buckley;

    Passport to Pimlico was a film in which there was a character called Basset.

    So is the common link former Watford personnel?

    Good enough, BB. Pimlico took on the British government, declaring itself independent; Grand Fenwick took on the US government, invading New York with a mediaeval army of archers etc?

    Both lovely, amusing films with 'The Mouse that Roared' hinting at a slightly more serious undertone criticising US foreign/nuclear policy.
