Thanks for the fiver Moxie.
Another question (this is much easier than taking my clothes off!) and a fiver from me for the correct answer. A crossword question:
gegs (9 & 4):eerr:
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Ryan Gegs who could have played for England but chose foolishly to be Welsh? :bigergrin:
Gis a clue Cinghers dio cane :smile:
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Did you know that Ryan Gegs was on the bench for ENGLAND as a teenager but never got onto the pitch? If he had he couldn't have played for Wales and all those years of problems on the left side of Englands midfield would have been solved!
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Was that a clue????
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
No Moxie you silly Biff that was just boys' banter !! :smile::smile::smile:
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Aaaah boys banter.
Is no one gonna answer the question it is easy peasy?
Biff ? Woss a biff den?
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
If Janie reads this you are dead meat boys, footie - boys' banter :no:
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
So... what is a Biff then sweetcheeks?
I am gonna answer Chinger's question meself in a minute...

gegs (9 & 4)
Cinghiale
This could be so right if only it was a 7 & 4.
Eggs - Albumen and Yolk
gegs - 7 and 4

Too late - I've read it!! Boys' banter indeed :rollingeyes:
It's a common misconception that Giggs could have played for the England team. He was born in Cardiff - and went to school in England (just down the road from me as it happens) hence playing for England SCHOOLBOYS. There was, apparently, never any question of him playing for the full England team.
Now what was the question?
In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
gegs (9&4) ... come on we want your fivers!!!

In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
Ooops! I stand corrected!
Since the idea of this thread is to make more money for the appeal a big hint:
Second word (4) is an anagram of 'gegs'
and
the whole you might have with smoked salmon for breakfast.
You were warned

If you have smoked salmon for breakfast, you can chuck a tenner in :bigergrin:

Neat Clue eh?
A fiver is on its way to the appeal.
Does anyone else have a testing question they're prepared to punt a fiver on?:smile:
