Especially for a Leeds United fan: Manager of Manchester United from 1945, I used to play for rivals City and Liverpool. I oversaw the development of the group that would become the Busby babes. What was my first name? Quote Link to comment

Pajaholic Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Matt busby! (i have nothing against the busby babes just the rest of Man U) Well... if we were on QI the klaxons and flashing lights would now be on. Wrong! I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a trick question and that Busby is the right person. I just mentioned this quiz to a football-mad neighbour who, rather cryptically, retorted that Matt wasn't Busby's first name and that Sir Alex Ferguson isn't the only smart Alex to have managed Manchester United. From that, I'll guess that Matt Busby's first name was Alexander and that he is the guy in question. Quote Link to comment
+NattyBooshka Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ding! Alexander Matthew Busby and Alexander Chapman Ferguson have nearly 50 years in the job between them! Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks. Here's a QI-esque question: What was the name of the Alsatian at the forefront of the fight against rabies? Quote Link to comment

Nice question. Louis Pasteur possibly... Complete guess though as I don't know where he was from. Quote Link to comment
jadenrich2101 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Aww harsh i said matt!! u never specified that u wanted first name i feel cheated! This question is way out of my leauge....I dont get QI so i dont watch it......they say what i think the right answer is and then it BUZZES and flashes at em but i thought that was the right answer Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ding! Louis Pasteur was born in the Jura in Alsace and invented, among other things, an anti-rabies vaccine. Over to you. Quote Link to comment

This question is way out of my leauge....I dont get QI so i dont watch it......they say what i think the right answer is and then it BUZZES and flashes at em but i thought that was the right answer Err... The end of the question was "what is my first name?" The klaxons on QI are for obvious common knowledge answers that are actually wrong... For example... Name a berry... Strawberry is a wrong answer. Read the wiki on berry and you'll see that most "berries" aren't berries... But a banana is! Edited July 14, 2011 by NattyBooshka Quote Link to comment

+Hawkins2.5 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I've been watching this thread for a while waiting for a question I could answer, found that I missed one earlier today that I knew but thought I had this one. Been racking my brains but have forgotten the exact name, they joked about changing it to something more friendly and I'm sure it was something to do with puppies but I can't remember it exactly. Oh well, thought I'd at least introduce myself to the thread and will keep watching! Quote Link to comment

Pajaholic Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 OK, OK, enough with the rowdy singing ... I'll give it another go! Surely there can only be so many 'collective nouns' for puppies. I don't know the band, but hopefully the reason for the threatened name change was for a more friendly, more acceptable image. So, for example, they probably wouldn't have chosen something like, "Abattoir of Puppies". The two most obvious to spring to mind are "Litter of Puppies" and "Kennel of Puppies". So is it either of them? If not, there can't be too many other things that puppies come in, so it's got to be worth a guess! Quote Link to comment
