Good quiz altis

Well, since there is no penalty shootout, I'll declare it officially a draw but we'll let homealone do the honours next week.

Landslide victory for the North-East though!!!

Sorry to all those who aren't football mad and were looking for more general knowledge questions. I just thought it was timely.

PS, Gaz:
Those pictures were hosted on my NTL webspace. Is this no good to you? How could I have done it better?

Well, I wouldn't call it a landslide - more a 'can't be bothered with real work today'

EDIT: Mind you, I'm quite impressed with the amount I know about '66, bearing in mind I wasn't born for another 9 years

ok, I'll accept my punishment - I may not be able to do it until Friday evening, though. I'll firm up a time during the week.

Thanks altis, the picture thing affects pretty much all embedded (linked)pictures, websense must look for the <img> tags, wheras attached pictures are ok - but that wouldn't have fitted for the quiz format, so I don't think there is much you could of done. Appreciate the concern, though

Well, the avatars and, for that matter, much of this website is made up of images. Perhaps it only blocks those that are hosted on a different site or maybe it's just stuff on homepage.ntlworld.com.

Can you see this image?

yes I can - you may be right about 'homepage' being filtered.

I count myself pretty lucky to have access from work, so a few restrictions are expected. It is sometimes quite funny with what it considers 'adult content', often there is no relevance at all

- thanks altis, appreciate it.

Missed it (but I wouldn't have done very well anyway)

Good quiz though Altis & well done Gaz and Nug (should have gone to a penalty shoot out)

I can personally guarantee that I'd have missed 5 out of 5

I think this is the first time I've been glad I've missed a Friday Quiz

20-05-2006, 01:42

I'm thinking next Friday 26th May, 1900 hrs

**Maggy** · 20-05-2006, 10:14

I would have got the first three right but only because I watched the documentary about it earlier in the week.

Right, I'm going to try to stick with this time, but there is a chance it may have to be delayed/postponed.

Sorry I can't be more informative, than that, at the moment, but it is depends on what someone else will be doing, and they haven't confirmed yet.

I'll post an update as soon as I know more...

Sounds like you may be going out tonight

Looking forward to it, even if it is tomorrow in the end

It is that I have to meet up with a friend & I'm not sure on the timing. I've just spoken to him & he reckons he can make it between 5 & 7, in which case we are still good to go, for 7.

- I'll try for today, if I can, even if it is a little later than intended. The only other thing that can go wrong is that I've finished off the questions at work & emailed myself with them, at home. Sods law says that email will be down
