Sorry NM, but could I butt in...
Firstly. Good to see the quiz up-and-running again.

I have a question that is also about today(still the 22nd...just) in time gone by.

On this day in 1956, Portsmouth played host to Newcastle at Fraton Park, but what was the significance of this league match?

Again appologies for the out of turn question, but it would seem a little irrelevant tomorrow...

Better watch myself now then

ops:

None of those are correct.
If nobody gets the answer soon, Northern Monkey might just get an 'annonymous' tip off

(And if NM now guesses correct on his own accord, you will think he's 'cheated'

)

getting dark outside, was it an evening fixture with floodlights?

Yes indeed. It was the first league fixture under floodlights.
Over to Istenem.

Well I is still sulking so we will go with a simple one that I only thought about recently: How many sides does a banana have ?

harry2 · Post by **harry2** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 9:33 am

Two ?

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 9:55 am

An inside and an outside. Boom-tish-QI-klaxon.

I'll go with five.

Weylando welcome back - I have it on (reasonable) authority that its 5.

I ate my last banana today, will be food shopping tomorrow.
I would have guessed five, but that answer is taken, so I shall go with one side. The banana fruit has one side.
