Great work, Scott, thank you.

blonde only works because some people make the effort to do stuff like this from time to time. It is appreciated.

If there were a blonde Honours List, you'd be on it.

[maldini32]

Good stuff mate, I've missed it.

I'll get my answers in before deadline

No need to thank me, it's something I enjoy and I know others enjoy participating.

Might do an old school RSQ style reveal on Sunday if there are plenty of entries.

That would be hugely popular, I think, the RSQ type stuff goes down very well, as a rule.

I won't be entering, of course, way too hard for me, but I still love the idea, & I hope it's supported. Can anyone topple Tighty from his Geeky Stat Perch? Horsey maybe?

Can you do a Newcastle one for Plinop, & a Palace one for Ant? Or maybe an Arsenal one, just for Tal?   

[scotty2hatty]

Just a little pop to the top.

[ruud]

Oh wow!

Didn't see this was back, so excited and IN!

Definitely a tough one, I threw a few thinkers in (e.g. PL unique nationalities) but gave a week to get answers in to allow thinking.

I'm in, there's a few missing but I've had a bash at the others. Despite my lack of knowledge, it's very interesting!
