Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

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

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

Photo and names from Caroline Dobinson who posted this comment with the photo :- 'This is a photo my mam and dad Billy and Sarah Purvis are on it no 4 and 5 on the left and my uncle Tommy Purvis second on the right. I cannot remember what the event was but they have all obviously dressed up in opposite clothes. I presume the people are either Netherton or Bedlington as that was obviously where we lived any ideas anybody !!!

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 3 O's in their surname have played for England. The question today will be :- Which five male footballers with 3 O's in their surname have played for the England men's team?

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

Tuesday - 26/05/2020 How does a penguin build its house? Igloos it together. 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'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down!

And I hope you are now going out into the garden and allowing nature to relax your thoughts and give that brain a rest 🌼🦋🍹
