    Is it number 1's?

    Abba have never had a number 1, which seems doubtful?

    No. Abba have had 9 of them. And yet have still failed to achieve something the others have, musically.

    Bob the builder fixed it.
    Peter Andre fixed that Katie woman.
    TellyTubbies fixed tellytubby land.

    ABBA famously never fixed anything.

    obviously I know no.3 is Spurs and still the ONLY Non-league team to win the FA Cup (1901 whilst in the Southern League).
    5) I will guess ABBA is the odd one out as they have not appeared at the Royal Variety Show?

    The only 1 in the 20th Century.
    A record that we both hope will pass to Arsenal soon :)

    Top quiz Phil, thanks.

    If you & @QUICKFEET could manage one apiece per week it'd be really appreciated.

    Just remember that when Tottenham beat us in that semi-final in 1991 and went on to win the cup they haven't won it since...
    And have had to watch us win it 9 times...
    30 years and counting...
    Here's a bit of nostalgia for you...

    How I knew the Spurs answer.
    1978 out and about in London, went in to watch Chelsea (2nd half), **** game,
    one guy was a spurs fan, told me how they were only non-league team to win FA cup.
    Strangely that same day, via radio, Spurs score v Liverpool was the hot topic.
    Spurs guy took some serious stick as the goals totted-up, 7-0.

    No problem @Tikay10 - I have been doing mine in Poker Chat - should they be going in "The Rail" instead? Must admit, I only ever look at Poker Chat

    @QUICKFEET

    Well it's not a hanging offence, but yes, should be The Rail.

    Most Forum Users press the "DISCUSSION" link at the top of the Forum anyway, so that means stuff from the Rail still appears at the top of the page.
