Question of the day

Oh, fck....

 

[MarkMas]

OK, probably an easy one for some: What was the Gimli Glider?

 

[agooner]

Gimli Glider. On July 23, 1983, Air Canada Flight 143, a Boeing 767 jetliner, ran out of fuel at an altitude of 12,500 metres (41,000 ft), midway through its Montreal to Edmonton flight, in Canada.

Anyone want to jump in with some quick fire questions while we wait for markmas.

 

[zagatoes30]

Which was the last team to win League 1 before the premiership took over?

 

[Navcorr]

Leeds. Who were the second team to win the Premier League?

Correct, see you have set the next question but do you mean 2nd different team or who won the second season? I suspect I know but just checking for clarification

 

[MarkMas]

I see you have (almost) all been good boys while I have been away......

I was hoping the ambiguity would throw a few off but you've seen straight through my dastardly plan. Drat & blast.

I'm sure you know both.

You need to post a new question Markmas.
Wiki or Siri answered your last one.

Yeah, that was a bit strange.... The Gimli Glider is a great story and I recommend, er, looking it up.

OK:
Who is thought to have given the first written description of the symptoms of dyslexia, writing of the subject: "He can make all the letters separately and he knows most of them separately when he sees them...but he can’t put them together."
