Get the trivia question right and it's your turn to pose one..

I'll start..

What connects the welsh response to the All Blacks' Haka in 2004 with car insurance?

bobb · « **Reply #1 on:** 29 January, 2010, 04:59:29 pm »

That's got to be Wyn Evans? (Or however you spell it)

Basil · « **Reply #2 on:** 29 January, 2010, 05:01:49 pm »

Well, I remember the Welsh response, but I know nothing about car insurance.
does this have anything to do with a TV advert? If so, I'll have no idea.

bobb · « **Reply #3 on:** 29 January, 2010, 05:08:36 pm »

I'm pretty certain it's him in that advert that is without doubt the most irritating ad of all time.

Tewdric · « **Reply #4 on:** 29 January, 2010, 05:23:38 pm »

Bobb's got it - Wynne Evans came on after the Haka in 2004 carrying a HUGE welsh fan and sang Bread of Heaven - he is also the tenor in the Go Compare ads!

OK, what is the only football club in the English league whose name ends in "r"?

St. Mary's Hospital ?

correct!

(an aside; the little street- Norfolk Place- down the middle of the old hospital was restored to 1948 decor complete with paving and lampposts when the Beeb made a drama about Sir Roger a few years ago; but only the top half that was in the camera shot)

Back to Football .......
