We will be in touch
Get one right and set the next question, sure to end in chaotic indifference.
Q1. What point on the earths surface is the greatest distance from the centre of the earth?
EDIT - didn't see davepitchs thread and quite frankly my dear I don't give a damn.
The point farthest from the Earth's centre is widely reported to be the summit of Chimborazo at 6,384.4 km (3,967.1 mi). This is due to the Earth being an oblate spheroid rather than a perfect sphere. The summit of Mount Everest is 2,168 m (7,113 ft) shorter at 6,382.3 km (3,965.8 mi) from Earth's centre.
Correct, well googled phil.
Chimborazo
[i]Chimborazo[/i]
bless you.
how dare you accuse me of googling.... like TJ i know everything!
if wiki decides to copy me then i cant be held responsible
A fact I have remembered since childhood along with the capital city of Honduras
I know it from a pub quiz, easy to remember.
Come on then phil, a question from you.
ahh sorry, was in a rush and thought iDave would ask another if anyone got it right.
Q. whats the largest living thing on earth?
I suspect iDave might know the answer to this 😉
Who was the only person to have served in all four of the "Great Offices of State"?
It's some kind of vine!
Sorry, thought phil wasn't coming back with one.
That'll be the Great Barrier Reef
It's pretty debatable. A fungus in Oregon.
Name the most northerly, easterly, southerly and westerly of the US states.
Alaska, Alaska, Hawaii, Hawai 😀
Alaska
Great barrier reef?
Reet, reet, reet, wrang 🙂Alaska, Alaska, Hawaii, Hawai
Alaska, Alaska, Hawaii, Hawai
Reet, reet, reet, wrang
Must be Alaska, Alaska, Hawaii, Alaska then.
The Bear Islands are right next to the IDL
Oh Oh, I know, is it James Callaghan?
alaska is most northerly westerly and easterly as it crosses the date line..
Banana and cream
Correct iDave!
The next question is which answers are the correct answers to what questions.
I am sure that the answer to [i]whats the largest living thing on earth?[/i] is not James Calaghan
Who wrote, 'wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none can come to buy'?
James Calaghan
Surely everyone will know the answer to any question by Googling.
To make it fairer I think only people not logged on to the internet should be able to answer 😆
I don't believe anyone would cheat Jase. Public reputations at stake etc
Cheat? With my reputation?

The record for most new Top 40 hits in one year is 12; held jointly by Elvis Presley (in 1957) and who else?
World's Stickiest Bogey?

POSTED 2 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST
Well it is from the young ones (university challenge episode) but the answer is 'Toxteth O'Grady, USA'. He also holds the record for most marshmallows stuffed up one nostril 🙂
Eugene Cernan was the last man to walk on the moon, 1972?
Man U and Everton once came out onto the pitch at Old Trafford wearing the same colours. What was the occasion?

Apparently so!
Man U and Everton once came out onto the pitch at Old Trafford wearing the same colours. What was the occasion?
Was it the second half of the infamous game in which Man U changed out of their grey shirts at half time?
think that was against Southampton I am guessing at two game splayed there on the same day but no idea why.
Black after Munich?
Was it the second half of the infamous game in which Man U changed out of their grey shirts at half time?
No, that was against Southampton. They lost 6-3 IIRC. Was the Everton game something to do with the Munich anniversary maybe?
Edit - bah, Junkyard is too quick for me
No to Munich anniversary
FA Cup semi-finals - 2 separate games, previously agreed to be held at Old Trafford.

Ooh! Ooh!
Toxteth O'Grady.
Next Question: who's been tampering with my questions?

Nay. Here's a clue (subtle re-phrasing of the question) - Man U and Everton once came out onto the [i]field[/i] at Old Trafford wearing the same colours. What was the occasion?FA Cup semi-finals - 2 separate games, previously agreed to be held at Old Trafford.
Cricket?
Aye Slimraybob! They played each other at cricket in the early 70s.
