 I’d like to start with the chimney jokes – I’ve got a stack of them. The first one is on the house.

 

Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?

6.       How long is a dog watch at sea?

Answer = 2 hours

Many watch systems incorporate the concept of a dog watch, whereby one watch is split into two shorter watches so that there is an odd number each day.

Did you hear about the guy who invented the knock-knock joke?             He won the 'no-bell' prize.

 

I ordered a chicken and an egg online.                      I’ll let you know.

I know it's not quiz night but this one has just popped back into my mind - dormant for over 20 years.

The question used to be - Which four footballers with O's in their surname have played for England.

The question today will be :-

 Which five male footballers with O's in their surname have played for the England men's team?

[Canny lass]

Peter Shilton, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, George O’Best and Jackie Milborn (Wor Jackie)!

Never let it be said that women know nothing about football!

@Canny lass - it's me not checking what I typed again. I have corrected the above ie. - ...3 O's in their surname....

Does that mean I'm not getting 'douze points' then?

Ok - to quell the protest you can have a starter for dix :-

 Peter Osgood - 4 caps, 0 goals (1970–73)

@Ovalteeny might be able to help

Edited May 27, 2020 by Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

[Ovalteeny]

I assume you mean with the surname starting with O, so Osgood as you say; Michael Owen - 89 caps (1998-2008); William Oakley - 16 caps (1895-1901) & Russell Osman - 11 caps (1980-83) 7 Peter O'Dowd - 3 caps (1932-33).

Nope - the surname doesn't have to start with 'O' - they just have to have 3 O's in their surname like Osgood.

I'll let you stew on it - closing down the PC for tonight

[Ovalteeny]

Bugga, if only I could read questions properly. I guess that's why I failed my 11+ and ended up at Westridge.

Back to the drawing board.

 

 

[Ovalteeny]

I can only come up with 2 :- Tony Woodcock - 42 caps 1978-86 and Ian Storey-Moore - 1 cap 1970. It's obviously a trick question.

 

[Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)]

Nope not a trick question, you have the middle three. 🤗

Yep -your OH is correct👍

I t must be over twenty years ago when I first saw the question in a newspaper, so long before Callum Hudson-Odoy, when it was name the 4. 

Now it's name the five and so far we have :-

Peter Osgood                       4 caps, 0 goals (1970 - 73)

Ian Storey-Moore                 1 cap, 0 goals (1970)

Tony Woodcock                  42 caps, 16 goals  (1978 - 86)

Callum Hudson-odoi           3 caps, 0 goals (2019)

and the 5th is :-

Lieut Colonel xxxxxx x xxx-xxxxx                  last match, a friendly in 1875🧐
