Not sure of what you guys drink specifically, but I saw a show on the History Channel the other day about Whiskey. Turns out the Jack Daniels (like I
said, don't know if JD is big in the UK) is made in a dry county. Which means they can't drink it where its made. Your question could
be...
Which whiskey is made in a location where it is illegal to drink it?
Who was the only footballer to score a penalty against Gordon Banks, barefoot, wearing a Partick Thistle strip.

topical question - at the end of the valley next to mount Snowdon (opposite end to bets-y-coed - rather lovely place to stay as long as your practical
and don't expect every mod con).

Also topical - across the lake from Bets-y-coed (although i only think this is the answer).

(i actually don't know the answer to this one, i think its Wigan Athletic - with Blackpool definately having the smallest). Perhaps the tie break
question could be - what is the capacity (25,138) or perhaps what is the most people who've been to the ground? (25,133 for a match against
Manchester United on 11 May 2008)
