Who the hell would go to Antwerp for a November holiday??

In that cold you need the Scots breakfast of champions.

If we have a powerful volcano erupt we might live it. Its weird how the climate can effect vast political change because of its unforseen consequences.

Yes, Acapulco and Antwerp are both very common destinations for holidays at this time of year.

I agree.
I haven't seen any major eruptions in my life time.

And that programme showed what would happen to New Orleans if it took a direct hit by a hurricane, before it later happened, so all of those could definitely happen.

Not to worry anyone of course.

Yes, supervolcanoes. Very scary if one was to erupt - and allegedly we are overdue another eruption if we look at averages.

It would plunge the Earth into a nuclear winter for two years if it happens, and the Yellowstone Caldera is one of them.

I don't know if you have seen it, but there is a docu-drama called Supervolcano that was made by the BBC and Discovery Channel (iirc). Whilst it's slightly overdone to accomodate an audience, it still gives the background to what would happen if Yellowstone was to erupt. Scary stuff.

1979 Sunderland
1980 Brooking
1981 Villa

They aren't team names as the trick question would have you believe

but they are the names of the players who scored the winning FA Cup goals.

ukhotstove · 11-02-2006, 03:34 AM

Celtic score was no big surprise as Celtic and Benfica have now played four times in European competition and the scores have all been 3-0 to the home team.

Very clever. Alan Sunderland, Trevor Brooking, and Ricky Villa then, yes?

Probably longer with many other side effects. Like we wouldnt be able to feed ourselves. And the cold weather is perfect for spreading the plague. I hope I dont live to see this. I probably wouldnt survive it.

Yup

Sunderland scored for Arsenal against Man Utd in what was the greatest last ten minutes of a cup final.

Brooking scored from a header which was very rare.

Villa scored one of the best cup final goals and broke my best friends heart cause he's a City fan.

The sun would be blocked out by the ash for around two years, and the eruption itself would last around two weeks. But yes, starvation would be the major killer.

There is good news though. Even though it is overdue, as everyone only lives for around of maximum of 100 years, the chances of it happening in our lifetime, happily, is very small.

I didn't know the answer. I don't know the other answers outstanding either. I'm rubbish.

Forgive my ignorance on all these subjects.

Okay I've double checked that player question and the player has played in the Conference, Div 1,2,3, Premiership, Champions League, UEFA Cup.

If you want a clue it's here > He has won a Champions League medal.
