"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.

Otherwise, there aren't any "shits," "fucks," "pisses," "cunts," "motherfuckers," or "cocksuckers" anywhere on this record")

7) About seven.
8) Tennis player.
9) Orion?
10) Somewhere in LA, can't quite remember...

Now I can't speak for the accuracy of these answers, having not double-checked them myself, but apparently...

1. New York
2. Music for nations
3. 27/09/86
4. Cannot The Kingdom of Salvation take me home
5. over 95 million (I wonder when that info was taken - you might be right now!)
6. Metallica (black album)
7. 7
8. professional tennis player
9. Orion
10. 14/03/82, Radio City in Anaheim, California

So I figure you got 7 right - but I'm not sure about #2, because I'd have gone with Megaforce too. *lol* Can't be arsed checking. *worst quizmaster ever*
