Grrrrrrrr - Davros! Braveheart was not a documentary you know!
Mel Gibson was born in the US. Olivia Newton John was born in England. Your record on predicting results in Rugby Test matches leaves a lot to be desired. You are batting 0 for 1 at the moment ------------------ Save Chip - Don't let Sarah win! Official Titterer of the Laughing Hyenas |

So, just where in my post did I imply that Braveheart was a documentary??? I have visited the Wallace Monument in Sterling (and climbed all those wretched stairs), and know how badly the story was mangled for dramatic effect. I don't know where you're drawing this conclusion from - just because I mentioned Eddie the Whinger (PS - that guess wasn't right was it? I am assuming there was a real King Edward at that time and that that was the one). I see you have already been awarded the prize pastry for most correct answers again .
And the Rugby - well we will see won't we . ------------------ |

Hi Jerome,
I think it was all the Glasgow questions that did me in , but I love visiting back in "the old country". Now if the quiz was about Scottish Links Golf Courses, and the pubs that are closest to them I might stand a real chance. ------------------ |
