Not Jonah Lomu but as you've worked so hard- here's an almighty big clue:

 

You got the right initials!

John Leslie was a kilted kiwi (NZ-er who played for Scotland) but he never played any internationals against Scotland I don't think.

 

These points, were they all scored in full internationals or were they scored in non-internationals like the baabaas?

Posted

Jason Leonard is the only other player I can think of with the initials JL, but I don't think it's him.

 

Well done - you got it!!! DING! B)B)B)

 

He scored 1 try for England v Argentina Dec 96 and 1 try against England for the Barbarians May 04

 

Over to you......

Wahey! My first ding!

 

Sticking with the Rugby Union theme - in what year did the code change so that a try was worth 5 points instead of 4?

It was quite recently, when I was at school it was worth 4..........when my kids were at school it was worth 5. When my dad was at school it was 3!

 

So it must have changed somewhere in the late 80's or early 90's! Go for the middle......1990.

Continuing on the sporting theme, how many Yellow Jerseys did Eddy Merckx win during his Tour de France career?

 

Richard

 

Hmmm... I know he won it 5 times and had 34 stage wins but the number of yellows... (ex bike shop manager stats)

I don't follow the sport so a total guess 75

 

Nope, more than that.

13 more than Lance Armstrong. And three King of the Mountains. Something that Armstrong never did in any of his seven wins.

 

a.

 

Almost correct, Merckx actually won the King of the Mountains twice, and the points jersey 3 times. Absolutely correct with the 13 more than Armstrong, but how many?

I saw this on the National Geographic channel the other day.

 

Yellowstone Park is a Super Volcano and has been on a regular eruption cycle of 600,000 years. The last eruption was how many years ago? :D

 

599,999?

Posted
Going by the :D smiley, I guess it's due soon.

 

I'll have a guess at 599,990

 

Judging by the smiley, I think we're probably going the wrong way. So I'll guess at 610,000.

 

Richard

No, more...........Bigger Gulp!

 

I know it's overdue 'cos I saw a documentary about it a few years ago (might have been the same one),

I'll go for 650,000 years. Although if that was the case when I saw the prog it should now be 650,002 years.

It's close enough DING BANG!............640,000 years.

 

When , not if, it does go bang it's estimated that will cover over 60% of the US in 3 feet of ash.......it'll be interesting trying to find a cache there then!!!!!!!!! :D

Googled it, so not playing, and couldn't believe it - but if anybody gets this without google they're either a sufferer, a psychologist, or a cheat!!!

Admittedly it's one of the more unusual phobias but it came up at work the other day when someone spotted it on a pub quiz website so it could go to a regular quizzer.

 

Fear of eating spiders/arachnids? :D:mad:

 

No

 

If it drags on for too long I'll start giving hints....

Butyro is something to do with milk and butter. I work in the animal feed industry and lots of things can affect the taste of milk, including butyric acid levels in the animals feed (thats why I know that bit of the word) :D .

 

So is it the fear of finding spiders in your dairy products?

 

:mad:
