"There's no better feeling than shaking hands with Prince Albert". Hope you won a fiver for that one Martin.

In other news, it appears (from my patchy memory) that Doncaster are the first team to reach Division II of English football after having played in the Conference since automatic promotion from that division was introduced in 1987ish.

Things I learnt this weekend were mainly to do with not grabbing rocks by the end that's been in the fire for two hours.

Anyone got any good trivia relating to Metallica? I need tested.

Oooh! Is Metallica your specialist subject???



Errr.... *fiddles with Google*

1. In 1999 Metallica sued Victoria's Secrets. Why?

2. Which song by Ennio Morricone is included in every intro tape that Metallica uses for their live shows?

3.

(pause for a moment while I laugh lots at the following bit of trvia: As a reaction to the PMRC language warning labels, Metallica put a sticker in the shape of a stop sign on early pressings of their 'Master of Puppets' album, that read: "The only track you probably won't want to play is "Damage, Inc." due to the multiple uses of the infamous "F" word. Otherwise, there aren't any "shits," "fucks," "pisses," "cunts," "motherfuckers," or "cocksuckers" anywhere on this record")

...anyway...

3. The introduction of the song "The Frayed Ends Of Sanity" (...And Justice For All) is taken from which film?

4. Lars Ulrich once did the voice for a dragon in which children's animated series?

5. Lars Ulrich met James Hetfield through an ad in which Los Angeles newspaper?

6. What was the name of the song in the South Park film (Bigger, Longer & Uncut) sung by James Hetfield?

7. In which country was the accident with the band's tour bus that led to the death of bass player Cliff Burton?

8. The cover art for the album "Load" was created by which controversial artist?

9. Who played bass guitar on the album "St Anger"?

10. Which orchestra do Metallica play with on the S&M album?
