I am going to take a punt on Durham City in 1928.
I looked at Coventry - more than once - but have found no immediate evidence of them playing in the (North). This is where I fell flat with them; I knew they had played in the (South) and the Fourth, but the (North)...?

Too far north.....also you are earlier than the year this occurred....the event happened in the period 1930-1939.

I can think of only one northern club who were ousted in the '30s - Nelson (1931).

New Brighton is the only one I can think of.

You found exactly the same site that I looked at before making my posting of Coventry City.....One season only in Third Division North 1925-1926.

Changing subject completely now, but before I do...
I believe they failed re-election in 1951, although I may be mistaken.
Fair enough
-----------------------
Ever since life first appeared on Earth, species have come and gone as various events and natural processes have resulted in splits in species, genetic mutations, and of course extinctions, with very few species from the time of the dinosaurs still extant today.
In the last 500 million years or so, there have been several - supposedly five - "Extinction Events" that have seen marked and sudden increases in extinction. The most recent such event was the extinction of dinosaur species, thought to be caused primarily by an asteroid that struck what is now Mexico around 65 million years ago. However, it is sometimes suggested that there is a sixth event, which is far more recent than even the asteroid incident mentioned above.
What is this sixth such event?

Tunguska?

The event in question is completely different to the asteroid event. Tunguska shares some similarities with it, in that both involved something falling to Earth.

A disastrous fall in the Earth surface temperature coupled with a sulphuric acidic precipitation fallout from the clouds of dense poisonous gases which blocked sunlight from reaching the inner atmospheres of the Earth from the explosive supervolcano that once was situated in what was now the remains of the Shatsky Rise underwater area of the North Pacific approximately now 900 miles east of Japan, which was triggered by the impact of a comet striking the Earth.
What marks out of 10 do I receive for creatively merging fact with assumptions and half-truths ?

Good question
Unfortunately, the answer is not correct, and that is what counts.Note the bit in bold - the event in question is nothing to do with events precipitated by extraterrestrial objects falling to Earth.
I'll give you a clue - the classic example of this event is the dodo.

Human intervention that had..and still has..been the cause of multi-species extinction by the cause of global warming leading to disastrous climatic changes and the destruction of natural environments by human over-cultivation and over-extraction of the natural resources of the Earth.

Human intervention is the answer I sought. Over to you.

What reason is given for a specific area formation of the Glen Coe region of the Grampians in Scotland.
Ivo
Established Member
Convenient - I was reading up on Glen Coe earlier today
It could be several, depending on what is meant by "specific area formation". The obvious one is that part of the Glen is U-shaped, owing to glacial activity during the last Ice Age. Otherwise, the entire area is the result of a supervolcano that erupted around 400M years ago, and is now essentially a large caldera.

The caldera indeed is the correct answer to my conundrum.
Please set the next one.

Why is the landfill site in the vicinity of Alamogordo (New Mexico) arguably the most infamous landfill site on Earth?
It has the remains of the Trinity test?

oh.... [gamer] Atari buried a load of consoles and cartridges there after they hit financial issues [/gamer] .
Alternatively it could be an atomic bomb crater, I think there was some testing in that area.

Alamagordo is a closed basin site with extremely high levels of dissolved gypsum that are increasing.

There are plenty of reasons for this one aren't there?
The one I wanted was that offered by deltic1989 relating to Atari. The floor is his should he want it.

Thank you.
I shall once more delve into my music collection.
Please give the next line of the song and the title and artist.

Correct on all accounts sir.
the floor is yours.
I'm starting to question Paul's credentials as a retiree, his knowledge of modern music suggests someone of a slightly younger age
