What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the people, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.

The author of the question has to tell people who guess whether they are correct or wrong.

Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)

Not so foolish WH - you should have paid more attention to your nephew ... ha ha

OK close enough - a christingle is symbolic symbol used in Advent services ie during the four weeks before Christmas. It is an orange (the world) with a candle stuck in it (represents JC), with four pieces of fruit stuck on cocktail sticks( the four seasons or one is added during each week during the run up to Christmas)

Christingle

Your shout WH :-)

Women "tingle" when they talk to me, so Christingle is when Chris has his "flirt hat" on :D

The question was playing in 6 finals who won 4 titles back to back. The 4 titles they won back to back had 2 replays in, hence 6 matches :D

And yeah it was Liverpool. Good job ;)
