Eggheads star Dave Rainford, who was described as 'one of the all-time great quizzers' following his death aged 51 earlier this month, got his big break in an unlikely setting.

In the late 80s the former Manchester Grammar School pupil had skipped university after realising his vast store of general knowledge meant he could earn good money by playing the newly popular quiz machines.

Dave, who was raised by his Jamaican grandmother in Chorlton, soon began travelling round the pubs and clubs of Greater Manchester and the North West draining the machines of their top prizes.

It was reported in the national press that he got so good at it a number of landlords barred him from their premises. In fact the story was slightly exaggerated.

Florida ‘Don’t Say Gay Bill’ Will Force Schools to Out LGBT Students

An amendment added to the Florida “Don’t Say Gay Bill” will require schools to out LGBT students to their parents. The amendment to Florida House Bill 1557, filed by the Bill’s co-sponsor Representative Joe Harding (R) last Friday, would require schools to out sexually and gender diverse students to their parents within 6 weeks of discovery. The original bill still required disclosure but had an exemption if the disclosure could lead to “abuse, neglect or abandonment.” This exemption was removed in the current amendment. Florida Agriculture Commissioner and Candidate for Governor, Nikki Fried (D), tweeted, “This backwards cruelty must stop. Speak out against targeted hate legislation and support those leading the charge to protect civil rights like [Equality Florida] before it’s too late!”This backwards cruelty must stop.
