WWTBAM Version 3

A place to chat about anything thats not football related. Most of the threads in here are completely pointless which is why people keep coming back and back. As the forum title suggests, feel free to make any post you want on any subject you wish. It also has Adult jokes (so be warned) which is the other reason people keep coming back.

WWTBAM Version 3

Post by arana peligrosa » Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:39 am

Some participants may remember there was the 'Who wants to win a million' contest on these pages some years back. As a spontaneous moment, decided to attempt a third go and see what occurs. No money to be awarded unfortunately but worth an attempt again if you're so inclined. Answers at a later date.

And most of all - no cheating or reference. It's only fair.

Sounds French, although it'll probably be bloody Portuguese. But I'll say France, final answer.

Must be a first - a Scotsman unable to answer a question about alcohol..

No offense, and in any event the last answer was incorrect. Portugal was the right response needed.

Open to carry on with subsequent answers but updates will be few and far between.

Serious? I have a memory of a Mateus advert on TV with the guy saying it in this "Mateeoos" French accent. Never been a wine drinker so didn't know. But its been added to the "pub quiz" part of my beer wasted brain.

Next question stuck on is 16K, Swan Lake. Not a clue. Send me your phone number, with international code and Chicago area code. You can be my "Phone an American".
