Joe 18/25 but noticed this one along side it https://www.joe.co.uk/food/quiz-can-you-name-which-country-these-beers-are-from-255312    15/15

I got one wrong and may add that I was raging so googled it and firmly put in my place. You learn something new every day. Shouldn't really say which one, but those sneaky gits at the ******** brewery.

At 16:30 today, I returned home from playing a kickabout with the boy, turned on the computer and the fucker starts a update, 3 hours later I'm back.  Then the kids kick off.  Seriously, living in paradise (no not that one Kincy), it can drive a man insane. I'm away to the garden to complete the rest of this.....

Hope you're all have a great Saturday, the final league tables are brought to you by Rocky Balboa - Theme Song

@Spring Onion, needs more swagger on the playoff if he's to go up.

I feel somewhat cheated. I distinctly managed to score fewer points than anyone in my league. All gkneil did was acknowledge there was no need to push forward. Think Austria Germany 1982. Can I appeal? After all a trophy’s a trophy.

Yes, I noticed that, also when you click on the stadium details it says, 15,000.  This was the same as the last question you had.  This may be 15,000 seats, but can hold more for standing....The results stands, I will only take the capacities on the right hand box.

Sorry, always next week for the treble.

Bah

Right hand box in the page for the Stadium says 15,000.

She is sitting on the couch chuckling away.   I guess that neuroscience degree and a tendency to watch shite telly while hoovering up facts isn't a waste of time after all.
