Which well known children's book includes the chapter "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"?

Since opening day last year? Refs are bound to be more up for it at the start of a season. No?

Do we need an answer or a question?

Who is the youngest person to have a number 1 hit single in the UK ?

Jimmy Osmond?

Correct

Okay, someone else can think of a question - I'm off home in a bit!

Who holds the record for the most F1 races started ?

Alain Prost?

Nope not even in the top ten

Schumacher?

Nope he's second i think ?

Johnny Herbert?

Nigel Mansel?

Coulthard?

I bet it's someone who hardly ever won a Grand Prix.

ah like the ones who are always at the back of the grid that no one really knows, that would be very sneaky if the case......

Sneaky? Well, look who asked the question...

my thoughts exactly Lucky!

Patrese?

Ooooooh good one! I like Patrese, he's been around since God's dog was a puppy.

It isn't anyone who has been mentioned , and you will all kick yourselves ........... he has raced for some of the top teams ... won 11 GP finished runner up in the Drivers Title race twice and was up until Vettel the fastest F1 driver round the Top Gear track

Thats not sneaky

The power of the Cowell !!

Funny how a few of them are covers/remakes of songs from earlier times.
Honestly, the younger generations are so lazy!

Think Adams up to ask the question

Who was the last man to walk on the moon?

Not sure... but did he forget to lock up?

Thinking it's the one before Apollo 13. So one of the astronauts on Apollo 12 which was around late 1969?

I think it was Apollo 17. Don't know the answer myself!

So when was that.... 1972/1973 or thereabouts?
Let us know when you've found the answer!
