We could wait for a post from Tommo to say it is ok to Google now in the thread concerned.

Bar Billiards have always prided ourself in having honest players who would walk away if they felt they missed, all we ask is for the same honesty in the quiz for the first 3 days :D I know I will and if that means I score less points then at least I will feel genuine about earning them, let their conscience rule them.

Tommo, I am also an expert on Sport generally, Ladies Tennis and Ladies Gymnastics ;) apparantly also on food though I am on a diet now :(
I do agree it would be nice to keep going back and editting, however I think for this forum only then etiquette rule can be relaxed to allow a closer to posting order be retained as what Q is saying is true enough. What I do is write my first answer or two, and post, then edit another one in and post. If someone posts between my last edit then I will put a new post in and do the same to this one.
This keeps the thread a bit shorter rather than 5 posts in a row from one person.

I can Mark. I will admit to Googling however that is just to make sure that the answer I was going to put is the correct one, a double check on it.
Tommo some interesting ones there, can we not have a few more general stuff rather specialised in single subjects for example Motor Racing rather than specifically F1, as I think if the questions covered various topics within a quiz from F1, drag racing, motorcycling, touring cars etc then more are likely to know the answers.
Maybe we could ask for 'honesty' from everyone that NO googling for answers for 3 days to give people at work and other reasons a chance to fill in what is 'known' already before the googlers fill in the rest. Just an idea, and honesty from participants.

I agree on that Mark, however some quizzes are so far 'off the norm' it is the only way people could possibly score points for the 'points league'. The only way to stop people from doing this to some extent is to: a) Do away with the league points system b) Use a more general knowledge only quizzes
I liked the technical electronic quiz for example but most of the architectural ones for example I dont even bother looking at, so in some ways are very biased towards certain people and I guess quizes will always suit some people. What I would agree on however is that most of the quizes would never be used as questions in a pub quiz or certainly very few. I like getting out and love old buildings churches etc however I couldn't names 3 parts of a church, you would have to be very dedicated to know anything about this type of quiz.
As Tony put, I would like to see them spread out a bit more and see a little more billiard discussions going on, maybe we have all been playing the game so long and on too many nights now that we can't be bothered with billiard chat any more. :(

There are other English cities that can have derbies, Oxford & Cambridge to name but two that spring readily to mind. There are more than 92 football clubs, you know, milhouse :) ;) Sorry did you not understand the question Mark? Oxford and Cambridge are different Cities, it isn't what locals call their derby game like Man Utd and Leeds it is teams in the same city. For example Liverpool and Everton are both in Liverpool. Hmmm how did I write that down twice Tommo :( I did mean to write Birmingham of course ;)

I cannot be sure on the truth of this but next to Haltwhistle is Langley Manor (I fitted a raingauge there 12 years ago), I think this house/owner/money or something was involved in the construction originally. That was how I knew of the Viaduct :) Funnily there is also another Langley Viaduct as well in Teesdale. Doing weather stations and raingauges took me everywhere around Northumberland from Otterburn Camp (had pass) through Kielder and all the way down to North Yorkshire.

8) Chillingham Castle 10) Alnwick Castle 17) Raby castle
All good castles to visit btw if you are in Northumbria on hols. Agree with the comments about the destruction of these relics, whether ruins or not. Hadrians Wall is a good example of this destruction with hardly any of it left to visit and have visited all of what is left.

2. Ruffe or Daddy Ruffe as us anglers call them.
8. Catfish
9. Bass, I think it is the misspelling of the name from olden days, you probably remember it Tony ;)
10. Burbot and I believe is also the same answer to (15) as there have been no recorded catches of them since 1975 if my memory is correct.

The Chinese martial arts also feature the use of the Chopsticks in them, so they are also dual purpose. Bonus point ;)
