He has lots of partners. I will never understand women, unless it is all about the big house.

Is it cheating to play Daley Thompson's Decathlon on a Spectrum emulator in order to find this out? Takes more effort than google anyway.
Edit, I was talking about the Decathlon question obviously. But I see someone got there first.

10. Sounds very much like something GG Allin could have come up with.
Edit: too late...

Wrong. (If this was a proper pen & paper village hall quiz, you'd only get one go, in that spirit I think you should at least let someone else have a guess first.)

No prob Fritter.

10 is either GG Allin or - more likely - somebody who owns an awful lot of GG Allin records.

:) feel free to use it for the remaining questions. Or you could run down to the library and get The World At War out.

Glad Duckpin wasn't around the quiz would be over in 30 seconds flat. He's the Delphic Oracle in disguise.

Nick Faldo is the UK golfer I bet

I'm afraid of causing harm to my hand and my laptop. Had fun though. Also played Daley Thompson's Supertest, Hypersports, and a game based on the activities of Geoff Capes. Hypersports is best.

Only two remaining, the liner that was sunk on the first day of WW2, and how Susan BROWN (not Boyle, apologies for the typo) made history in 1981. That's Susan Brown....

1st test-tube baby mother? The baby was Louise I think.
Edit. I've got the year wrong so am probably wrong. Bugger.

Yes, that's wrong (although Louise was the girl's name).
It was in the Sports & Pastimes round, if that's any help.

With that clue I'm going guess she was the 1st female jockey in the Grand National.
