The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Friday, April 3

Hi, all!

It’s former Tottenham midfielder Scott Houghton in that lovely 1992 away kit.

Ramble of the Day

Maybe you’re not the internet quiz type, but what if I told you there was a more comprehensive quiz of which fictional character is most like you with a database of more than 400 characters? What if I told you that I already took the quiz, and many other people I associate with also took it?

What if I stopped beating around the bush and just linked you to the quiz? I did the recommended version with 28 question (the automatic one when you click on the link), and then did a further round when asked.

Here are my top ten matches:

1. Rachel Chu, Crazy Rich Asians: 86%
2. Donna Pinciotti, That ‘70s Show: 85%
3. Bruce Banner, Marvel cinematic universe: 84%
4. Leonard Hofstadter, The Big Bang Theory: 84%
5. Abed Nadir, Community: 83%
6. Chandler Bing, Friends: 82%
7. Elizabeth Bennett, Pride and Prejudice: 82%
8. Amy Farrah Fowler, The Big Bang Theory: 82%
9. Glenn Rhee, The Walking Dead: 82%
10. Elsie Hughes, Westworld: 82%

I only know a fraction of the people on the list, but those I know, I’m pretty satisfied with, especially my top match.

tl;dr: Do the quiz that determines which fictional character you’re most like, and post your top ten!
