Well that question went down like the proverbial cold cup of sick.

The answer was "GHOTI", which is also the word used to demonstrate how irregular the English language can be (e.g. GHOTI could be pronounced FISH based on the way the letters are pronounced in other words).

Anyway. Over to someone else!

a) Could be Porridge or Open All Hours
b) Only Fools & Horses

The second question certainly was!

Okely Dokely.

Staying on David Jason, can you name 3 out of the 4 animations which he has provided a voice for?

Okay, Dangermouse, Count Duckula annnd... er. Wind in the Willows? Does that count? I know it was stop-motion rather than pictures.

Sorry Weyland, didn't notice you'd answered it. You are bang-on. The other one was The BFG in 1989.

Over to you, unless UP has got a particularly juicy question he's dying to impart.

nope, to the victor the spoils, all yours Weyland.

Damn, I'm sure I had a question a few days ago.

As the cricket World Cup is taking place at the moment, how many mandatory fielding positions (IE, there has to be a player in them at all times) are there, and what are their names?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 4:54 pm

Aye sorry Weyland. I just thought you weren't about. I'm not normally in the business of giving away things that aren't even mine...

Anyway, fielding positions? Jeezo. Cricket (and boxing) is the reason I never choose SPORT on quiz machines.

Right. I'll guess bowler, wicket keeper and silly mid-off (just cos it's got a silly name).

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 5:02 pm

hmm, i should know this but i don't.
wicketkeeper
bowler (does that count)
maybe somebody at square leg
or somewhere in the covers
i do like cricket but wasn't aware that some positions are mandatory. with that in mind and in honour of ambiguous the mint questions i'll guess a combination of the above.

It goes to the Cardinal, as you both got the two mandatory ones (Bowler and Wicketkeeper) but he was first, and also named less - there's only two.

Sorry to butt in, but as it is a little quiet

Who is the only player to average over a hundred for a season in the county championship TWICE ?
