Years and years ago, @Kenny said people should test me on this kind of stuff in the pub and take my phone off me.

18 years later, he knows full well that yeah, annoyingly he does just know. To the point now that I think if we're sat together and someone asks something, he audibly groans. Don't fucking start him off...

I've seen you reel off starting XIs from random league games. Bizarre, yet impressive stuff. Could all be bollocks though, I'm not checking

The Belgariad books by David Eddings would be one specialist subject for me. God knows about the other two. Possibly Ayrton Senna and The Omen movies.

The Belgariad is probably my favourite set of fantasy books.

The ten book set with the Malloreon makes a very well completed story actually.

Yep, his other series are pretty good too although their titles escape me atm.

We should do a set of questions for someone. By we I mean someone else ha.

Along with my other picks on page 1,
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy,

Half man half biscuit lyrics, sort of call and response, and stuff like what sort of hat does third rate les wear?
Who did they search all over Kazakhstan for?*

Chernobyl, but you’d have to lean a lot of Russian names.

* Burberry fez.
Bob Wilson anchorman.

I can’t think of one specialist subject, let alone three

I'd do alright with Blackadder, Father Ted and maybe Sherlock Holmes stories.

There would be a lot of seriously obscure stuff that could be asked on Sherlock Holmes stories. For a start you need to know all the plots, characters, titles. Then you need years of publication and publication order. Plus you need to the name of the original illustrator and where they were originally published before the collected editions were released. And that’s before they start delving.

Yes it could get quite complex. There were also other authors who wrote stories with him in, and I've just bought some of those but not read them yet.

I can guarantee they would ask the name of the publication that a Study in Scarlet first appeared in. It’s not the Strand Magazine like most of the others. The Sign of the Four also appeared in a really obscure publication.

Beetons Christmas Annual in case you ask
