Sorry for the wait chaps!

Right.

According to the popular urban myth (that i like to believe), France's military prowess is at best laughable (hehe). Still going by this myth, what is the only war that they have won?

The Hundred Years War? (which actually lasted 114 years)

Excellent MattB...

Just saw the Noel Edmunds thread in The Lounge so figured i'd set a Noely question.

In an episode of spoof documentary 'Brass Eye', Noel Edmunds was reported to have killed which TV presenter at a dinner party?

I downloaded Brasseye the other day, and remember Edmond's smug little fizzog remonstrating about something, but I can't even remember which episode it was on.

Was it from the infamous "Cake" episode?

I'll go for Eddie Large.

Ooohhh, ooohhh, pick me, pick me sir please, sir, sir, I know the answer sir!

It was Clive Anderson sir!

Brass Eye is great, especially the 'cake' bit. " He though he had a month to cross the street".

It was the 'Cake' episode and it was Clive Anderson. Over to Demmerz

I've always liked "an unkindness of ravens"

I'll go for "colony", but that's faaar to obvious by the sound of it.

is it not a shrewdness?

Demmerz · Post by **Demmerz** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 1:45 pm

Well, no.... and yes. It depends on how pedantic I wish to be.

It's not not a shrewdness, it is a shrewdness. Or something.

All yours anyway! Did you like my little clue?

I did. I don't think I'd have remembered the right answer without it!

Right. Since there's a nostalgia computer game thread on the other forum...

What's the best selling video game of all time?

thehut · Post by **thehut** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 2:43 pm

I'll guess Super Mario Bros

Thats the right answer, i know it is. You beat me to the answer again! Damn you quiz demon!
