Aw shucks, I'd like to thank my agent, my director, the producers, my fellow actors, my parents, God, ...
Thanks, foxy. I think I'll have to wait for the Thomas Gravesen testimonial at Celtic Park to be able to collect that pint but it was an enjoyable quiz, and one which reminded me that I do need to brush up on my beach volleyball knowledge!
In return here's a question from a former quiz of mine for you all to ponder:
What is the connection between South Park and Ireland?

It was the Prince one I was looking for. Well done!grecian wrote:I think 3 might be Congratulations, if you're talking about a dictionary word. (Anotherloverholenyohead by Prince possibly if you're not.)
You may be talking about the record I have in mind but you haven't got the details correct. I have to confess that this one came from a question on (I think) the Ant and Dec game, when I thought "That can't possibly be the right answer" and so looked up the details!unknownpseudonym wrote:is 4 that french kid jordy? dur dur etre bebe
