    Rule 1 - No googling!

    Rule 2 - no using other internet search engines which are available

    Rule 3 - Try and keep your question at the level someone in a pub quiz might be able to answer...

    I suppose I'd better ask a question:

    What modern day place was named Lactodorum by the Romans?



    edited because I've got very fat fingers today and keep hitting multiple buttonsd!

    OK - let's speed it up......

    It was Roman, and it wasn't treasure or a building

    To speed this up and stop it stagnating as much as the quiz on the other forum I'm calling question setters perogative and giving the ding to Mrs B (Sorry Matt).

    The item found in Eckington last year was a dead Roman soldier (how he managed to review all those caches and keep that quiet is beyond me).

    It may well have been a Roman brewery that lead to his demise - but they haven't found it yet if it was........

    In the absence of the question setter I have taken it upon myself to check the answer and can confirm that StickBouncer is correct.
    So over to StickBouncer for the next question. :lol:

    I thought I had it wrong though, not using the correct formatting(completely missing the year), so its got to be Stuart who gets to set the next question (copping out as can't think of one and busy trying new roms on my phone )

    Probably going to show my ignorance of classical music, but I'm guessing 2001.
    Sadly I'm guessing I don't get the point for having read the Nietzsche book with a similar title

    The way we usually work is that the person who gets the right answer sets the next question !! But you have set a hard one - no good to me
    as I know nothing about feetball !!

    I know very little about footie, so I'll go back to my youth and guess the Leeds Goalies from the 70's Gary Sprake (who I know was the Wales goalie) and David Harvey (not sure if he was ever International).

    I also don't know much about football, so I'm guessing Gazza and George Best (see, I said I didn't know much )

    Sorry. I didn't realise. It is a hard one, I don't think anyone will get it but will give it a few days more :-)
