Some of you may remember when this was a hilarious insult.

Correction: if it is tied, the winner will be decided by alphabetical order.

Question 8: Chess
I’ve played chess since I was 9. I had a family holiday in Tunisia and, as is the way, we found the other English people. Two were lads my age playing chess, which I had never played before. By the end of the holiday, I was beating them both and 18 months later, I was playing for the England Under 11 B team. I was a decent standard junior player and still play as a keen amateur, but was never destined to be anything special.
Eleven of my favourite players of all time are:

1.   Alexander Alekhine
2.   Akira Rubenstein
3.   Mikhail Tal (ofc)
4.   Bobby Fischer
5.   Garry Kasparov
6.   Aaron Nimzowitsch
7.   Paul Keres
8.   Joseph Blackburne
9.   Magnus Carlsen
10.   Mikhail Botvinnik
11.   Vassily Smyslov

[TRIP5]

Farce, I should be at least in the latter third!!!

Anyone with any sense would have selected number 4 across the board..

[tikay]

Please hang in there Steve, Mondy and Herbie would be catastrophic for the future of RSQ.

Question 9: Things that Rocked My World

3.   Stewart Lee: Stand-up comedian
4.   Gazza’s Euro 96 goal against Scotland
5.   The Shield
6.   Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace
7.   The Thick of It
8.   Tal v Panno (1958)

Still tight at the top. TightEnd is looking like KP when a left-handed spinner comes on.

Which one was Karabiner?

(Let me have this one, please)

We go to the controversial answer of the night.

Question 10: The all time Spurs XI
I yap on enough about being a Spurs fan. Here is my XI:
1.   Pat Jennings
2.   Steve Perryman
3.   Gary Mabbutt
4.   Ledley King
5.   Gareth Bale
6.   Glenn Hoddle
7.   Danny Blanchflower
8.   Dave Mackay
9.   Paul Gascoigne
10.   Jimmy Greaves
11.   Jurgen Klinsmann

One “comedian” did his best Chris Ramsey impression and said a dirty thing in answer to this question. Step forward, Nakor, who chose...



He obviously never played for Spurs, so that can’t be right. That's him in his Notts County get up. Sheep plus five for you, sir.

Your answers were:

paulhouk03   8
TightEnd   2
redsimon   3
Karabiner   1
Cf      1
kinboshi   5
DaveShoelace   7
cambridgealex   3
smashedagain   4
Nakor      WRONG!
stribling   2
pokerfan   10
taximan007   7
SteveF      1
ruud      7
millidonk   10
montadoo   11
skolsuper   6
TRIP5      4
tikay      4

Which puts your scores at:

SteveF   20
montadoo   20
redsimon   22
skolsuper   22
paulhouk03   23
kinboshi   23
smashedagain   25

Montadoo draws level. SteveF needs to come off the bridle now.

[Tal]

One question left, guys and gals...

[Tal]

Bit of extra rub there for SteveF.

[Tal]

Has Johnny Tightlips decided the fate of the RSQ?

Question 11: Minor Simpsons Characters
My favourite TV show of all time is The Simpsons. There was a point when I could quote just about the entire Stonecutters episode (Homer the Great) and had collected all sorts of trivia in my head. “Release the Stone of Shame!” “Woohoo!” “Attach the Stone of Triumph” “Owwww”

Eleven of my favourite minor characters are:
1.   Akira (the waiter come karate expert)
2.   Duffman
3.   Johnny Tightlips
4.   Dr. Nick Riviera
5.   Hans Moleman
6.   Leopold (Supt. Chalmers’s assistant)
7.   Mr Costington
8.   Lucius Sweet (He’s exactly as rich and famous as Don King…and he looks just like him, too!)
9.   Uter
10.   Artie Ziff
11.   Handsome Pete

You, in your delicious and bountiful wisdom, sealed your RSQ fate thusly:

paulhouk03   8
TightEnd   3
redsimon   3
Karabiner   10
Cf      1
kinboshi   1
