I'll give it to MattB

It was the first time in 10 years that he had been put on the bench for a test match (he has been the starting number 9 for every other selection) but yes, he overtook Jason Leonards record of 119 Test caps.

Was it HP sauce?

In fact, it can't have been (that's not my guess).

Can't really think of any other condiments off-hand, so I'll go for brown sauce.

Not brown suce, no

Oh funk knows.

Could it be horseradish?

Yes it is!

Here's a snippet about the young chap:

'By age nine he was growing, grinding, bottling and selling his own brand of horseradish sauce. At ten he was given a ¾ acre (3,000 m²) garden of his own and had graduated to a wheelbarrow to deliver his vegetables. At twelve he was working 3½ acres (14,000 m²) of garden using a horse and cart for his three-times-a-week deliveries to grocery stores in Pittsburgh. At seventeen he was grossing $2,400 a year—a handsome sum for the times.'

Not bad for a 9 year old

Over to you

Pah, when I was 9 I had already embarked on a fruitful (pun intended) puggie career.

Mind you, I was washed out, burnt-up and bankrupt by the time of my 12th birthday..

...

Right, which large country has no rivers, no railway and less than 100 miles of roads?

greenland?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 11:32 am

Bingo! Despite it being the 12th largest country in the world, it only has about 50,000 inhabitants, and around 40 miles of paved roads.

Over to you UP!

merci bien.

okay when the french stormed the bastille in 1789 how many prisoners were liberated?

I'm going to guess 12, as it's a symbolic number (though what it symbolises I've no idea)
