That was quick. Yes, Newport (Shropshire) in January 1982 and measured at a somewhat chilly minus 26.1C.
Back to you for the next question...

Back to football....
What do Keith Gillespie and Walter Boyd have (uniquely) in common?

I vaguely remember Keith Gillespie getting sent off before play had resumed when he came on as a substitute, maybe the same thing also happened to Walter Boyd.
Peterthegreat

They did indeed. Both substitutes who came on before the game had restarted.
Over to you.

Occasionally described as red cards after zero seconds. Which takes some doing!

China have not competed at every Olympics, so they are not the country I am looking for.

I suspect is is Great Britain as the USA (and others) boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.

It is indeed Great Britain, only 5 countries have participated at every summer Olympics.

No
Alternative: No
Plausible but incorrect as far as I know.
Correct (although it could apply to other warships), your turn...

They are all Latin words (interestingly I have Aloe Vera flavoured bog roll).

Flavoured?!
Thread goes straight back to you. They are all part of a very select club where organisms are widely known by their scientific binomial name rather than a common name.

It says Aloe Vera on the wrapping, they're white, have no discernible smell and are embossed with a simple circular pattern so I assume it refers to flavour. I can't test one as I have a buggered up sense of taste at the moment.
Thank you.
Next question:
Who said, "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”?

The marketing buzzspeak for this particular 'added value' product seems either to be "enriched with" or "infused with" rather than "flavoured with" (which latter choice of words suggests something that you're more likely to be going to eat!)
Anyhoo, back to our regularly scheduled quizzing...

No, he was a silent comedian, never said anything.
No, I think the quote warns against his methods or maybe he's uses it as a guide.
