I know i said there was a prize but unfortunately i have a problem. My 9f bottle blew up (i left it in the sun and it expanded) so i cant give you a prize :-(

well anyway i think i had better put a new round up on here so here are the answers
1. What Steam locomotive holds the record for speed

- 4468 Mallard

2. What is the most famous Steam locomotive in the world

- 4472 Flying scotsman through to being the first locomotive documented at 100mph and because of its troubled life in preservation (not thomas the tank engine lmao)

3. What is the largest Steam locomotive in the world

- The american Big Boy (4-8-8-4)

4. What was the name of the last steam locomotive owned by British rail

- Evening Star, a 9F and the only one painted green all the rest were black

5. Dr Beeching is infamous in British railway history what did he do

10. My latest brew is named after the 9F, a class of locomotive in britain. I named this brew for a reason, look at the picture of the 9f below and guess what that reason is

- My brew "9F" is a stout and all stouts are black like the locomotive it's named after lol.

well I had a thought of what my next round could be about while watching Doctor Who and thought "aliens" so i decided to do the alien round. this is aliens as in sci fi not ufo nuts lol

D-oh! And I was looking forward to possibly winning that bottle of 9F.

Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles beer bottle blows up. :il_hahaha:
Maybe it's just as well. It could've blown on the journey of being mailed.  :e_shocked:

That IS funny. ^^
With such tense situations, you've got to find a way to laugh at it all someway.
Must admit I haven't been keeping up on the news lately but I hope things have been getting better.

I don't know much about any wars. In Australia only the minority actually fought in battles or have relatives that do.

Nonetheless, I will try to answer these. I'll do three today.
