Morning all, here are today's pointless offerings. Answers in by 7pm with results shortly after. Open to any new players, the more the merrier! All you need to do is come up with the most obscure correct answer you can think of. 1. Any song released by Michael Jackson, the Jackson 5 or The Jacksons which reached the Top 40 of the UK singles chart up to the end of January 2013. Not accepted - remixes, EPs or Latin names. Double A-sides accepted as separate answers. 2. Any feature film made for general cinema release, for which Keira Knightley received an acting credit, prior to May 2011, including voice performances. No short films, TV films, documentaries or anything where she has played herself. 3. Any professional club or international team managed by Roy Hodgson prior to his appointment as England manager in May 2012. The Sh1t not accepted 4. Landlocked countries - Any country which has no coastline on any sea or ocean. English names only. Countries which border only inland seas and lakes will be accepted. Country defined as any sovereign state that is a member of the UN in its own right as of the beginning of May 2011. ‘South Sudan’ not accepted as it did not become an independent country until July 2011, after time of polling. Have a great Sunday everyone and good luck!
