Re: Friday "Lunchtime" Quiz
 

Sorry to all those at work who couldn't play the toons :(

Perhaps the 'on this day' questions were not so good but it was gone midnight by the time I finished last night so I had to run with them. I had great fun with the pictures and the music though. I though that these would be un-googlable but it's amazing what a creative mind can get out of it.

Well done and thanks to all for taking part.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I was watching Bob Beamon on TV when he took his record leap in 1968. It was amazing to watch. He hung in the air as though he were carried along on wings. He jumped something like 2 feet longer than anybody else and looked as though he was going to land past the end of the pit. I think it is the oldest standing Olympic record today (although the world record is slightly longer now). Quite some achievement.
