Penny Lane Striders
Hi All,
In my continuing quest to conquer the world in a Penny Lane Striders Vest, I am wondering if anyone in the club is up for putting a team together to go on Eggheads and represent the club on TV?
Outlandish i know, but to be honest - i cant think of a better way to promote the club!!
If anyone is interested, please reply to this thread, email me or see me on a club night.
If many people are interested, then we may need to audition by attendance at pub quizes and such like.
Cheers
Shane

I am a genius so for that reason I am in
I have acquired the team application form for the show....
Will need a passport photo for each team member to submit with the application.
I guess they sift out the ugly ones so I will have to do some touching up to mine.
Anyone else with "balls" enough to go on telly??
count me in Shane, I know some stuff 
Sounds ace! Let me know when auditions are 
Put me down too Shane :)
Ok Lads, we have a team!
Think first come first served principle to be employed here.
Unless one of the team turns out to be immensley thick, we will go with what we have.
Thickness to be determined by test quiz...
Thanks all for your interest - i will be in touch shortly with a plan!
The rest of you can look out for us on the telly, if we get that far!
No more lads wanted!
Any ladies want to audition?
first 2 to respond will be part of the audition process!
Cheers Shane. I'll catch up with you Thursday. I was gonna do the Club Handicap but a couple of us are heading out on a long run instead Tuesday.
I'd like to be a lady, if you need a Himbo???
Paula - seen your friday night attire before and its slightly unconvincing... more lippy next time!
Fashion Police - Was planning on getting the lads kitted out in Cream Armani Suits like the Spice Boys (1995 LFC FA Cup squad)... perhaps with black and white striped tie rather than red & white, what d'yer think??
and Frank - if only i knew what "only connect" was!
You definitely need at least one female representative for PLS.
I'm not interested in making a fool of myself though, for once!
Shane,this doesn't bode well but that was the 1996 Cup Final not '95. (that was Everton v Man Utd),hope you don't get asked many on sport! 
Good point well made. we all have our weaknesses... dont worry though, player strengths will be identified and exploited against the eggys.
Will impose a deadline on female auditionees - anyone interested should contact me by midnight tomorrow night (friday 11th).
We will then move on to auditions/team selections from those who have put themselves forward.
Cheers
Think maybe Eggheads is the Thickie mans university challenge.
Good job im in by default!
Auditionees - Check your inbox!
Good luck - and remember, no cheating!
Shane
I haven't received anything, can you resend it please?
Re: Penny Lane Striders Eggheads Team
What a great idea Shane, Striders will conquer the woooorrld ;) Sorry I am not around to participate (or maybe that was a lucky escape for the team!)
Good luck guys 
what is only connect
Apparently its the thinking mans 3,2,1...
Im blissfully unaware.
Andy - i have resent your questions. Good luck!
didnt, the bloke with adusty bin say it with his fingers oh god im, so confused
A wishbone brought on by Sonny Hayes came with the clue "Take one that never changes, add a pub and a precious stone, bring them all up-to-date, and now you're on your own", which the contestants rejected hoping it referred to Dusty Bin.
Ted Rogers explanation of the clue was: "'Take one that never changes', well that could be Dusty Bin which of course is where you might throw a wishbone.
'Add a pub and a precious stone', well that doesn't point to Dusty.
'Bring them all up-to-date, and now you're on your own'.
Well what about the wishbone? Sonny said 'a large wishbone', so what might a large wishbone come from? Something larger than a chicken. Turkey maybe?
Now 'one that never changes' is a constant, a pub can also be an inn, there's a lot of precious stones but how many go with 'constant inn'?
How about opal?
Yes, Constantinople, up-to-date, the pride of Turkey, you've rejected the 3–2–1 holiday!
I can picture Simo reading this, nearly as confused as he was when finding out who or what Mr Ben was
all this eggheads stuff is blowing me away
BREAKING NEWS!!!!
Following a slight extension to allow one of the auditionees the opportunity to fill in the questions, the answers have been scored out of a total possible of 29...
First on the team sheet
Me (of course!!)
The 4 additional team members:
Graeme Hind - with a whopping 25!! (You're going up against the clever egghead!)
John Connolly - 20
Dave Lynan - 16
Marty Hirrell - 16
It was a close shout for those last 2 places, with only 1 or 2 points between them. So well done to Tim Fletcher, Andy Leslie and Althea Deane, who remain on the subs bench for the big day - injuries and unforseen availability problems may yet mean a call up!
Of course- well done to those who qualified for the first team!! I will get to work on the application form - we will need a team photo...
Congratulations! I will be in touch soon regarding warm up fixtures!
Thanks Shane. I can only assume some of my guesswork paid off.
Out of interest, how many do you reckon you'd have got?
