Foster ?

No, although like Steve Foster one of them played for Brighton and was called Steve...

OK, well this one seems to have everyone stumped. The answer is the Gattings - Steve played in the 1983 FA Cup Final for Brighton and his better-known brother Mike played for England in the 1987 cricket World Cup final. I think the Cardinal probably was closest (inasmuch as anyone was) so I'll hand the baton to him.

Thank you, Grecian.

Name the film star who has been married 8 times, worked in films for 80 years, and is still making films to this day.

I haven't thrown a curveball, although by sheer coincidence, the chap in question has a connection with one of Donald Duck's friends.

Mickey 'Mouse' Rooney? Not 100% sure of his age though...

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 10:30 am

Bingo. Mickey Rooney (real name Joseph Yule Jr) is 87, and started acting at the tender age of 7.

Over to you Mr V...

Right. MattV has obviously buggered off and forgotton about the Phoenix, so I'll do a quick (and hopefully easy one) to get the ball rolling again.

East Stirlingshire are widely recognised as being the worst-league team in Britain, finishing bottom of the football league for the last 4 seasons.

However, which rather famous football manager "cut his managerial teeth" with the side?

alex ferguson?

Well done. He only stayed a few months before moving onto a "big" club. (St Mirren).

Interestingly enough, although they only attract 200 fans to their matches, they have a 4,500-strong supporters club in Norway, thanks mainly to a documentary shown there about how crap they are.

They also play very close to my house, so I'll be able to go and watch East Stirling v Stranraer next season. Cannae wait!

Over to you UP.

201 fans for that clash of the titans then

okay, which five jelly belly flavours are predominantly white?

i'll give you the hardest: cafe latte, so four to get

WTF are Jellybellies? I thought that was Harold Bishops nickname in Neighbours?

Er.... I'll go for Vanilla Ice Cream, Sugar, Whitecurrant and er... Semen.

whitecurrant

i must remember that

but vanilla is right so three left

and, btw, jelly bellies are what american kids eat instead of deep-fried mars bars
