"Stumped" you say? Ironic turn of phrase considering



Cook is right btw.
I take it we're talking cricket.

Not Simon or Alistair?

You and TC did the ground work, I was just able to confirm the workings out to show the answer as correct.

I think you should have the honours, unless of course you'd rather not? Your call

A last air.....superb! I even thought of Alastair when I thought of Cook for the surname, but didn't see the link!

Correct Terrence Thought I'd throw a Tennis one in for Ig.

Last edited by lfcred : 10-04-2010 at 18:15. Reason: that didn't come out right ha, not just for Ig, a tennis player on behalf of Ig as she did get the previous answer.

The Who's 'Boris The Spider' song as you figured, and Ted Danson's (Dr) 'Becker' TV show. Correcto!

I've tried every beer I can think of - Foster, Fyne, Fuller, Carling, Harvey, Tennant, etc.

Are we barking up the wrong tree Janine?
