I'd not have got it from this set!! Politics and sport are good markers for me... (and I suspect, Nico)

Eek, hope you’re okay after falling OS.

We’ve had another correct guess from Ocelot Spleens, who’s also had the closest guess so far for year 1.

Go me! After the second set of clues, Prescott punching someone made an indelible mark on my mind, i.e. why shouldn't he, the guy was a twat.

Quite pleased with the 19th century attempt too....It was Grace, I think we basically played Aus every couple of years...but I couldn't remeber if it was odd or even years....still a guess though.

Another correct guess from Macca for year 2, and another close guess for year 1 (like OS, he’s one year out, both guessing either side of the correct year).

Final set coming up.

I don’t think we’re going to have any more guesses, so I’ll reveal the answers:

Year 1 was 1890 and year 2 was 2001.

Nico, Oscar, OS, macca and Night Owl all for year 2 correct, we had some close guess on year 1, but no correct ones.

Thanks Jenny :-)

About This Thread

Simple rules:
3 sets of questions over about 45 minutes. F-mail me your answer. One guess only - if you get it right after the first set give yourself 4 points, 3 points after the second set, 2 points after the third, you get the idea? If you turn up but still get it wrong you get a point for being a good egg.
