Re: 20th Century Events.
 
Thank you for doing the quiz Kate and thanks for the karma just received. I have to say I was really lucky to be online when you posted the quiz so got first pick at the answers then like a dog with a bone I have to stay around to finish the job!

BTW you have credited me with an answer I did not get - WWI troops playing football was Margaret P, credit where credit's due.

Thanks again Kate and so glad to see you back online. Hope your recovery's going well.

I would of done good if I had noticed this earlier, and if I hadn't of been stoned ... I thought a lot of them looked like the world-wide joyous celebrations of my birth on December 1, 1945. Particularly that big mother of a firework going off:theband:
