Hmmmm …
You know, I’ve GOT to confess, there’s day’s when I really haven’t a clue, I really haven’t …
You see, for yesterday’s Teaser, Andy managed to put in an answer I didn’t expect to get. And I’m going to have to mark him down on, as — as sure as I am he’s got a good answer — I’m blowed if I can find a reference for it.
Don’t you just hate that, when that happens … ?!
At any rate, yesterday’s Teaser saw Andy and Trevor going head to head, with Trevor bagging 6 out of 6 and Andy trailing by one point, with 5 out of 6.
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we? Here they are, along with the ‘How To’ and License …

Q4) 22nd March, 1888, saw the founding of which UK sporting body?

Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy.
However I dress it up, I was a spy and I am not proud of it.
Even a criminal has the right to a new life, but they made sure I did not have that. They just didn't stop calling me a prostitute for ever and ever and ever and ever.
I enjoyed sex and indulged in it when I fancied the men.
I have survived and possibly I should not hope for more than that.
It's been a misery for me, living with Christine Keeler.
Men, all men, were always trying to get hold of me, you know.

“The problem with political jokes is they get elected.”
“There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.”
~Douglas Adams
