MoeFOH Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Every week we're going to have a poll about a certain quote and who said it. Could be a famous quote from history, a line from a movie or a song, the opening line to a novel, something very topical, etc... We'll create a poll with the quote and a question based on it, from the answer options you just have to pick the correct one. Voters who pick correctly go into the draw for an El Pres Sampler!! (Drawn Tuesday morning, Brisbane time. Please note: Polls don't show on Tapatalk, but you can participate via a web version of the site) NO GOOGLING!! And it may not help you anyway - depending on how tricky we get with the question. We're using the honour system. It's just a bit of fun. If you know, you know. If you don't, have a stab in the dark or an educated guess (if you prefer that term ). You may elaborate about your choice in the topic thread below if you wish but no posting of anything that gives the answer away to those who haven't voted. Now you know the drill, vote away! Good luck!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijan Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Based on who the second place pick is either people are googling or know too much about history for their own good ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes not quite youthful, but at a few years from middle age. You are probably correct! I still find it funny. But I'll try to read up on my history, with a batting average of 2/5 so far, I don't think there's much risk of it making me any worse at these contests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas.Alpha Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Ok, I went full in on Montgomery. It just sounded like him. The British fought and kept Al Alimein. Patton and the Yanks kept the rest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
