I would have thought that’s too quick for average lap speed, so I’ll go for the highest speed a car has managed on a straight.

That is just about it. It is the highest recorded speed by a F1 car during a race. Juan Pablo Montoya set the record at Monza in 2005.

Thanks, ofh.

The last time we lost away to Leeds was some time ago. Of our players that day, two currently play for the same team. Who are they and their current team?

Am pretty sure he did - unless you're not counting League Cup matches. If not, the previous team to lose at Leeds did so 15 years ago - and the only survivors from that are Ben Foster and Ashley Young as far as I can see.

I think you’re right. The webpage I was going from was difficult to read, so I’ll refine it to:

Steve McGinn and Lee Hodson for Kilmarnock ?

That was the answer I was looking for.

Sorry about the mix up. Google insisted on showing me Leeds v Watford, as opposed to the other way round, and the 11v11 page was not the clearest.
Anyway, well done, cologne. Does anyone else remember singing, “Come all without / Come all within / You’ve not seen nothing like Stevie McGinn!” ?
And Lee Hodson was a super player.
 
Cheers Andy. Which animal is likely to be the favoured hunting companion of a Coyote (other than another coyote of course) in one of nature's symbiotic relationships - and why is this so ?
 
There was a video doing the rounds on Twitter last year - of a coyote and a badger 'frolicking' together in a tunnel of some sort. Apparently they work well together when hunting. A badger will dig into a burrow and chase the prey out for the coyote to then chase - or the coyote will chase the prey into a burrow for shelter and the badger will then chase it out again.

Edit: Just found it on YouTube...

All yours BB. Coyotes are useless at digging and Badgers are useless at running across open ground and so they join forces when hunting prey such as ground squirrels. If the prey goes into a hole then the Badger takes over and if he runs the Coyote gets him - apparently they don't share the meal afterwards (the catcher has that privilege) but they still end up with more than they would get hunting individually. In winter this relationship breaks down and the badger needs no help and also the coyote hunts bigger prey then - but in the spring and summer they come together again.
