I liked the "draconian" in the title.

A Saturday Phoenix. What fun.

Let's have a Bond question. What was Goldfinger's first name? And for an extra-special Saturday Phoenix bonus point, what does his first name mean?

i've never seen any bond but i think i know this one.

is he called auric meaning golden?

okay, straightforward question, surprising answer.

Fair enough! I've never seen Star Wars or any of those films.

Anyway, my guess is petanque?

not petanque and a mouse has just scurried past my desk which has kind of made my day, like when you see a dragonfly or something.
anyway this is an indoor sport.

Ah, I was going to say lacrosse, but that's played outside I think. Netball?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:41 pm

nope. neither of those.

it actually does make some sense historically. in his younger years Cardinal Richelieu probably did some.

Aha! Croquet?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 4:55 pm

nope, it is an olympic sport too.

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 5:05 pm

rugby?

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 5:42 pm

Badminton?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 10:01 am

nope, keep pressing and guessing.

the sport does have some cultural relevance.

Snail racing? No, sorry, that was bad of me. Volleyball?
