One quiz at a time

Post by **DRT** » 22:54 Fri 13 Jun 2014

I am less familiar with the rules of cricket than I am of rugby. Is there a rule that allows a player to be cited after the match?

This level of impertinence to the umpire is quite unacceptable.

I hinted that you had got the country right earlier. The drink was complimentary, my father being a regular customer.

Why is it that you have to go to bed by midnight in your father's house but stay up chatting until the small hours when at home?

There is no good answer to that question.

Night, night.

Good God!

Am I to be left here alone just before the witching hour?

You can fine me all or some part of my match fee.

Your fine has been increased from 1 to 2 free bottles of Offley Boa Vista 1972.

At the risk of further arousing Julian's ire by deliberately starting a port conversation on meaningless drivel, I am constantly amazed by the grumbles about low rent port. I cannot think of a port which I have rejected outright, with the exception of all sorts of rubies. Perhaps I have just been lucky or have no sense of smell.

A genuine offer. Send me you address by PM and you will have a bottle of each of OBV72 and RVC83 within the week, free of charge. I will pay the postage. Please accept the offer.

Haha if only the offer were good in the states.

Morning all. The only reason I went to bed early was to be bright and early at the crease this morning!

I think we should steady the ship for ten overs then press on.

Maury?

Owen. A while back you guessed Grappa and I hinted that you had the right country.

We appear to be without a question, so I will fill the gap. Still sulking over not being able to attend the Test Match, I decided my question will be "What sport did I last go and watch live?" You can guess sport or event.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 06:57 Wed 18 Jun 2014

Show jumping.

Port drinking? Plenty of good sports at the table.

While I commend you on your imaginative answers so far, none are correct.

The Red Bull Air Race is not at Ascot until August.

Perhaps a clue. I attended the venue on Friday 30th May.

Wembley. England v Peru.

The Wokingham Trampolining Open Championships?

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 22:49 Wed 18 Jun 2014

I very rarely watch Association Football, live or televised. Not Goodwood, not trampolining.

Another clue, I also went to the last day (of 4) on Saturday 31st May.

Dwile-flunking?

CaliforniaBrad · Post by **CaliforniaBrad** » 23:08 Wed 18 Jun 2014

Some form of that baseball-esque sport with the pitchers who can't seem to throw a ball on the fly to the batter, and the batters who can't find a proper bat so theve stolen a school masters discipline paddle.

Ah. It has all become clear.

Carp fishing?

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 19:02 Thu 19 Jun 2014

Not cricket, not fishing, not something I've not heard of.

Next clue: it is an Olympic sport (summer Olympics, just for the pedants amongst us) and featured in the 2012 Olympics.

It's probably not that obvious, but I will try it anyway: You're going to Portugal.

Ah, but you are absolutely correct! The Algarve rather than the Douro though

Well done, your turn.

I will have to think of a question. If someone has a question ready at hand, then I'm more than willing to hand over to someone else.

Since no one came forward, here is my question: In which European capital did I celebrate New Year's Eve in 2010?
