4. What is the name of Rocky's main opponent in the film Rocky 3?

Longines - O
tikay - X
booder - O
ruud - O

I pitty the fool who didn't get this right (sorry Tikay).

There was a Ladrokes poker player went by that alias back in the day.

Honestly, I stared at the question for several minutes, & could not even guess at an answer. How would I ever know such a thing?

I saw the first ever Rocky film - mid seventies? - & that was more than enough for me. 

Those who answered correctly got that joke. Some who answered incorrectly recognised the Mr T quote. Some people were wooshed. A few people never watched the A Team and are asking who is this Mr T?   

[Claw75]

Ha - getting a bit like a reverse sheep quiz reveal here! If I hadn't got through I'd be appealing being marked wrong on the slang one as my andwer would appearto be equally valid. Also a bit confused by the last one as thought I'd got it right.

I qualify on both counts.

A Team was a children's programme, surely?

It's probably not one to show the kids. Definitely don't show them it before going on holiday otherwise you'll never get them on the plane.

Scotty's been a tough quizmaster though. When it comes to boxing questions Jeremy Vine would probably of given Tighty an easier time of it.

[tikay]

^^^^

Joking aside, the questions were pitched just bright - except for thickos.

Most enjoyable.

We really need a quiz for Team Thicko - Redsgirl & me.

Not seeing it would have saved 7 year old me from cracking my head open whilst play acting as murdock on our shed roof.

Scotty, sorry to have to query this, but how is my answer wrong on this one?

10. What language can be described as South African Dutch?

I also have to agree with Graham C with the feeding of the 5000 question.  Quantities were not asked for.

Apart from that, its a great quiz.

I've never heard of sausage roll for dole, always been rock n roll. Besides, sausage is different to sausage roll surely?
