Wow ! Southend was really a wild guess.
OK. There is a World Championship in this every year in Norfolk, the winning time last year was 3 mins. 20 seconds. What is it ?

Is it the world snail racing championships? It was won by a snail called racer owned and trained by 5yr old Sue.

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>

I hope you get a turn Theo because I know the answer. <laugh>
 
A strange fact I discovered about Norfolk.

The northern pool frog, England&#8217;s rarest amphibian, has its own unique Norfolk-accented croak. This frog &#8211; a native of the fens &#8211; became extinct in England in the Nineties, but was reintroduced into Norfolk from Sweden in 2005, after recordings of mating frogs were analysed and the distinctive Norfolk inflection in their calls was identified.

I assume therefore that there must be a Norfolk mating call. Could anyone describe it?

The 30th anniversary of which event will take place at Day's Lock on October 13th?

I think that it's Poohsticks championships. There was an old schoolfriend who went to Oxford and told me that they heard about it, thought that it would be a laugh to watch, but missed it as they went to the nearest pub and forgot to leave there until it was over.

It is. Your turn Barry.
 
What 90s TV show connects the films The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets? If you can get this right, you should also be able to say how.
 
Well done Maestro. I was originally going to ask what the connection is between Meat Loaf and J.K. Rowling, but I thought that would be too hard.

Just to add some extra info, Richard O'Brien was writer of the stage musical Rocky Horror Show, which was developed into the film. He then played Riff Raff in the film. He was host of the first 4 series of the Crystal Maze and Edward Tudor-Pole (who as Maestro hints at was lead singer of Tenpole Tudor) took over for the other 2 series.
