Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Excellent piece of trivia gathering there Neil!! Unfortunately completely wrong! The World Champion I am looking for actually appears on the relevant post!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Ooh Severe Marking Mick there's no denying Michael Lee was a World Champion, and Lee appears in the post.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑10 May 2020, 19:37 Excellent piece of trivia gathering there Neil!!

Now you know several times in the Hi-Fi discussions yesterday "White Cotton Gloves" were mentioned. While Famously Jimmy White never won the World Professional Snooker Championship like Michael he also won a World Championship in 1980 (World Amateur Champion) and 1984 World Doubles Champion with Alex Higgins.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Another excellent piece of wriggling but the marking can only allow what's on the card!! As I said the world champion APPEARED in the post concerned!!

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Did Liu Tingting ride for the Newcastle Diamonds in the 1970's early 80's? and I couldn't recognise her because of the leathers and the helmet?mickthemaverick wrote: ↑10 May 2020, 20:10 Another excellent piece of wriggling but the marking can only allow what's on the card!!

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
For the avoidance of doubt MIck
I am plumping for Liu TingTing the Chinese Gymnast as my answer for your Q7. Which World Champion made an appearance?

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
There's a very simple reason for me being oblivious Neil.
I avoid sport like the plague, any form of sport whatever.
I have heard of Bruce Lee though, apparently unavoidable.
I had no idea that there was a speedway course around here but then I am a new boy, only lived here since 1978.
And had a Renault 11 that belonged to a Newcastle ball kicker who's sister lived in the next street.

Correct! That puts you on 30 points Neil, Bobins on 10, 2 to go. Both answers can be found in videos. The actual World Champion appears in one video in the OTCL and the other answer is in a video but not in the OTCL!!
