Well done Chas...your turn!

Me and my big mouth!

What role has been played by Johnny (Boy Named Sue) Cash, Valentine Dyall and Edward da Souza

It has to be 'The Man in Black' Chas.

Yes it does ...................................dammit! That was far too easy.

Who was the first person to have taken part in a winter sport in the three most extreme points on earth?

Please define.

I'm fairly sure there is a zero possibility of winter sports at the bottom of the Mindanao Trench (lowest point on the Earth's surface) or in the "Empty Quarter" of Saudi-Arabia (hottest place).

I'm fairly certain of that too Chas.

So, to which particular extremities are you referring

Try distance and height

Bear Grylls?

Not Bear Grylls John

As a clue, it is the same winter sport for two of the locations, and a different activity for the third.

Sir Edmund Hillary
He flew over the Artic ocean and landed at the North Pole, he became the first
man to stand at both Poles and on the summit of Everest.

You have the locations spot on Jean, but not the person. Getting to the poles involved a winter sport not flying.

Ranulph Fiennes ?

No Jean. Not a Brit on this occasion.

Eric Larsen?

A bit before Larsen John. Though Larsen was the first to do it within twelve months.

Roald Amundsen?

Erling Kagge (never heard of him!)

You have it John.
I happened to be reading through a list of firsts and his name came up so I kept the link for just such an opportunity as this.

What links Holland and Great Britain to a football term?

Too much lager?

Probably......... the best lager in the world, but that's Danish

Amstel (sponsors of much British football) and Amstelveen (Tweede Divisie team, near Schipol).

Very creative but also very wrong
