    Wikipedia lists 22 of them. If you mean only the UK releases, you should probably specify that in the question, or some insufferable pedant like me (but American) will want points for rubbish like Something New and Beatles '65.

    Without Googling, I got all but one of the UK albums, including some which I wouldn't have counted as studio albums. I've owned most of them at one time or another.

    Of course, since playing their first competitive match, more than 800 players have made a competitive first-team appearance for the club, of whom 217 players have made at least 100 appearances (including substitute appearances); those players are listed here.

    List of Liverpool F.C. players - Wikipedia

    Give us a clue, helge; how many of them do you know (for a fact) were shit at volleyball?

    They got me with that one in a pub quiz in Portsmouth. I said it was Nelson. It was, of course, Hardy.

    Well, of course it's not Red Rum. It's Jocko Flocko. Red Rum would be a ridiculous name for a monkey.

    As a follow up, my quiz went down well. It was a tough one and the scores at the end of the rounds were low, as they should be!

    We also done the charity run to the shelter for mistreated women and children with the pot from last year's monthly quiz. 12k from the quiz, 12k from our motorcycle club and 3k from our Christmas party. They requested mostly baby milk formula which was perfect as it's small and expensive, and we filled a few pickups with stuff that people no longer wanted in their houses any more.

    Round 1 went as so:

    QUIZ Round 1

    1. What is the Guinness Record for the most amount of times a piece of paper has been folded in half?
    2. What was the original name for Guinness?
    3. Which tyre manufacturer makes the most tyres a year?
    4. What was the first words spoken from the Apollo 11 Lunar Module after it landed?
    5. In Coronation Street, what was the name of Minnie Caldwell’s cat?
    6. What does STEM stand for?
    7. Who was Captain of the HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar?
    8. In Tennis, what piece of fruit is found at the top of the Wimbledon Trophy?
    9. What was the first single to be released by the band Oasis?
    10. Who Authored The Hunger Games book series?
    11. When is St Andrew’s Day in Scotland?
    12. What was the first patented service uniform in the US?
    13. What are the ingredients in an Aberdeen Rowie or buttery?
    14. What is the main ingredient of Bombay Duck?
    15. How Long is NZ’s 90 Mile Beach?
    16. In Denmark, what is a Svangerskabsforebyggendemiddel?
    17. What flavour is Cointreau?
    18. What is the collective noun for octopi or octopuses?
    19. What is Hippopotomostroesequipedaliophobia?
    20. What country is Brie cheese originally from?

    No Googling now...

    Best score on the night was 7.5 but can't remember why, I think I threw in a bonus question on one of them.

    7. Nelson was the Admiral of the fleet. He was using the HMS Victory as his flagship and it would have been captained by someone else.

    Who was the guy he wanted a kiss from after he was shot... Hardy?
