Yorkshire Soul's Rambling Quiz Series 3 : Week 8 Answers & League I did think this was a more difficult quiz than usual when I was writing it, but having baffled mostly everybody with at least one or two questions and having received this letter from one anguished quizzer I'm wondering if next weeks quiz should be along the lines of "What is the capitol of Belgium ?", just so you can all keep your hair and get some sleep. "Thank you so much for causing a total breakdown and loss of dignity. I've snivelled and whined, I've assaulted the keyboard, I've screamed at, threatened, and pleaded with Google, I've terrified my family for several hours this week, and all to no avail. Thus I shall admit defeat, submit the answers that I do have, swallow a handful of Valiumwith a bottle of wine, and vow to take these things a little lessseriously in future. ;) - Eleanor." 1) What delayed the start of the Crystal Palace vs. Southampton match on Saturday ?
