in my further attempt to educate the masses or drive them completely mad heres a little question to keep you occupied for 5 minutes over the bank holiday weekend if youre bored.i will give the answer on tuesday,so you wont lose that much sleep over it. in the early 1950's a tokyo watchmaker went to India carrying something in a smallish box.He returned some 13 days later as the first japanese to win an international title for about 13 years.Never again did he compete at world level and there are many who would claim that he was instrumental in changing a sport forever,not necessarily for the better. who is this person? have fun! jox |

| YourValentine 25.05.2007 15:26 |
1 64 243 256 125 36 the next number should be 7, correct? the school song which became a national anthem later should be the anthem of Malta but it was not a specific school - it was the primary schools - according to google:) |

the answer that i have been given for this is the isthmus school in panama,however i dont think that it is,so if anyone knows a different answer to this then let me know.. now for this weeks teaser... two football[soccer] teams are playing against each other in an English cup match.in one team 2 of the players are Best and Pele,in the other team Michael Jackson and Robbie Williams are playing in defence.what 2 teams are playing against each other? i shall give you til friday for this one :-] have fun jox |
| Spud 28.05.2007 22:18 |
Well Michael Jackson and Robbie Williams both play for Blackpool, but not sure about the Best and Pele connection. I can only assume it's one of those celebrity charity matches, the Best being the walking STD that is Callum. But I can't see MJ playing football... |

OOO OOO Me Sir Me Sir! Suddenly remembered there's a Pele playing for the Saints checked my hunch and discovered little Leon Best plays there too, forgot about him as he's been on loan for a while! |

Is that all? I was hoping for a bouquet at least... |
| Spud 28.05.2007 23:00 |
Ps I think that isthmus school thing is bollocks. Just because the national anthem is named after a isthmus (Himno Istmeño) there is no evidence that this school was it. However the anthem did come from a school, we just don't know which... |

Believe me I've tried! Meta searches the lot even with the actual name of the school I've got nothing. I got the number sequence right by googling but didn't have a clue what i was looking at so didn't post! Likewise I got Panama but couldn't get the school - I truely don't believe the info is on t'internet. If no-one can prove it then I shall be forced to 63336!!! |

Indeed I can see the logic. But unfortunately it's half four and I'm much too pished and have to be at work in 4 and a half hours so regrettably have to leave it here. I'll keep looking! |
