1) Which film - starring Michelle Yeoh took the honours at last years Oscars.

The whole bloody shebang the entire lot simultaneously all over the whole place

Oh sorry - thought the question was where did my Bloody Dog leave the contents of the bowl which had been left on the kitchen table.

Similar kind of idea though innit.

2) Two of Henry VIII's survived him. Katherine Parr and who else?

So you're saying Henry VIII was five under Parr? Bloody good at ye Wordle, in other words.

I mean it's either Arrogant Kat or the Clove Girl hentut? Going with the cloves, always nice on a bit of gammon and I imagine Henry having a face a bit like a side of gammon, so yeah, Andy Cloves, final answer, locked in.

3) Who scored the winning point for Europe in last years Ryder Cup?

Mark Twain said golf is "a good walk, ruined". I'm with him. It's more dull than watching Norwich trying to move the ball forwards on a Saturday afternoon and that's saying something. I'd rather read Thomas Hardy, in fact, than watch golf.

So it will come as no surprise that I have not the slightest scooby.

4) In which month is St Swithin's Day?

Fuck, summer, hentut, June or July, flip a pancake, toss a salad, going with June. Now it's going to be July isn't it?

5) Montmorency was the name of the dog in which book?

The Heroic Travails Of Montmerency The Dog, written by Montmerency, who was a Dog.

Oh yeah and that Jerome K Jerome boaty thing, three men and a goat, isn't it, what?

6) Mt Rushmore, where the Presidents Heads are carved, is in which American State?

Dakota, which one, guess South, probably North now innit

7) What was John Wayne's real birth name?

Taylor Swift, or Reginald Kenneth Dwight, or Farroukh Bulsara, half a point each that's one and a half points I reckon.

8) Which C20th British Prime Minister came from Bewdley in Worcestershire?

Trick question: none of them. They all went there but only on the way to Cleethorpes, or something.

9) The New Elizabeth Line links Reading in the West to East London. On an Underground Map what colour is it?

Purple innit

10) In 1972 City played their first ever top flight game (the old Division 1). Who did we play, and for a bonus point who scored our goal in a 1-1 draw?

We will have played: Keelan, Stringer, Forbes, was this before Suggett? Prolly...Livermore, Paddon, erm...Ken Foggo...was Trevor Hockey around then? Struggling to name more if I'm honest.

(I know you didn't want the name of the opponent as you asked who we played not whom we played - which is lucky cos I have no f**king idea).

Who scored? Going with Foggo, pure guess.
