Grace Darling trivia question

Post by Neil Appleby »

OK Alf the answer is NOTHING.
As hard as this is to believe there is not a single shred of evidence that our club was actually founded there over 100 years ago.
I think this is shameful.
I think I'll contact the club.
Yep, that's it. I'll call Robert Pyman, I'm certain he'll help set this important matter right.
I think we, and I mean all of us here, should do something to commemorate the founding place of our club.
Can you imagine no plaque on the house where Mozart was born?
Maybe we could even begin a fund raiser or something to get a commemorative plaque made????
Come on everyone, let's see what our collective brains can come up with.
Now the results of "Who wants to be a Collingwood Trivia King/Queen"
Alf 2
Mike 1
Spidergirl 0
Joel 0
Two Pies in Cairns 1(because they're generous)
Christian 0
Pie No Sauce 0
Doug 0
Greg 0
Bill Banks 1 (anyone on holidays at The Vatican deserves at least 1 point)
Mrs Lockyer -2
Next question:
First posted reply gets the points.

"I share my name.
One of me played for Collingwood and later North both in the 70's
The other of me played for West Coast and then Port Adelaide in the 90's.
What is my name?"

Very quick Paul....1 point.
It must have been way too easy.
I'm thinking up a harder one...but it will be next week....don't want to clutter up the board and also heading off to the mountains for a week with the dogs...back for the big one.
I'm sitting..level 2 Row 1 Great Southern

Have a nice holiday, Neil.

I reckon anyone who can get thrown out of the AFL members' can't be all that bad, even if he does have heretical views on the S-word.

It wasn't that easy - its just that Bondy (the elder) and I went to school together.

Happy Holiday
