Shortie has it- continuing with the dog theme it was indeed coursing- used to be held just down the road from me when I was kid and very popular it was too. In fact in the 19th century was apparently the FA cup final of its day.

Anyway over to Shortie

As I passed my turn, and its a quick question, mind if I have a go:

How many died and how many were injured in the 2005 terrorist attacks on London? (I was intrigued at one half of this figure)

There were about 56 killed I think?

God knows how many injured. 200?

not especially close on either guess!

ps: your sig is a very badly constructed sentence.

Hmm well I remember thinking at the time that it appeared a well thought out plan that thankfully was very badly played out. So I'll go

12 Dead and 46 injured.

I'm suprised you haven't got the first figure close yet! but you are further out on the injurer side of things.

57 dead iirc. i'd imagine there were thousands who claimed injuries. this country is going the way of the states with compensation culture. this is one thing which really gets my goat.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I didn't think the question was in remotely in poor taste; 52 dead (I think), 700+ injured.
