Last nights quiz questions.

[EFM's Librarian]

Came second in the pub quiz last night, any of these ones would have pushed us up into joint 1st - we really need a music expert.

 

1. Which band did Vince Clark leave 20 years ago?

2. What was the 500th UK no.1 single?

3. Which product had the slogan "born in 1820 and still growing strong?

 

I'll see if I can remember the others later

depeche mode

 

budweiser, the horrible septic version

[CANV EFM]

yazoo?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

He left Yazoo 20 years ago. He left Depeche Mode about 22 years ago.

 

500th number one was either A Little Peace by Nicole, or Ebony And Ivory. I forget which was 500 and which was 499.

 

 

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

The 600th, incidentally, was China In Your Hand by T'Pau. The 1,000th is just around the corner, I believe.

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

Very quick with the Depeche mode there ESG.

 

We thought Budweiser, or Jack Daniels but it was neither. (I may have got the phrase ever so slightly wrong, but it was something very similar to that)

 

Can't remember any of the others we got wrong, so try some I got right.

 

4. What is the first bird mentioned in the bible? (don't say Eve!)

5. What was the name of the puppet 10 year old boy who was an international spy?

6. Name the 2 members of Shakespeare's sister?

7. Name the boat that was hijacked on the Mediterranean in 1985?

8. Who was the longest serving leader of a British political party when he died in 1999?

9. Who is in charge of US economic policy (Not the treasury secretary)?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

6. Marcella Detroit, Siobhan Fahey-Stewart

 

Not convinced about Depeche Mode, Libro. I'll check that, as I'm pretty sure he left 1981/82, which is more than 20 years ago.

7. Achille Lauro ?

9. Greenspan ?

[EFM's Librarian]

Okay, The quiz master may have phrased it more precisely, as I say we didn't get it right, so I can't remember it exactly. I didn't get the Stewart bit of Siobhan Fahey - was that her name when she was in the band or just afterwards?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Were you deducted points for not getting the Stewart bit, then?

 

Am I right with A Little Peace by Nicole? It was the 1982 Eurovision winner.

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

AFF, yes and yes

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

From the official DM website...

 

Depeche Mode first rose to prominence in 1980, comprising of four original members - Martin Gore, David Gahan, Vince Clarke and Andrew Fletcher. After his departure in 1981, Vince Clarke was replaced by Alan Wilder and the line-up that saw Depeche Mode grow into one of the most important British bands of the 80’s and ‘90’s, remained unchanged until 1995 when Wilder too decided to leave. The remaining trio continue as Depeche Mode to this date.

 

I'm right.

 

Again.

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

Indeed you are, on both counts

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

And Yazoo split in 1983, 20 years ago, so the correct answer is Yazoo.

 

Thank you very much.

 

 

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Libro - when you say I'm correct on both counts, do you mean the Nicole answer was correct, or was it Ebony & Ivory??

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

Nicole apparently, although I had to check that cos I was in the toilet when he announced the answers last night.

 

Does anyone know if the North Pole is exactly 500,000,000 inches from the South Pole? It was a true or false question. The barman claimed it was true, but he had to let people who wrote false have a point as well, because he couldn't remember where he'd read it! (He was very drunk by this point)

[ESG]

5 Joe 90

[Brew]

8 - Screaming Lord Sutch??

[EFM's Librarian]

5 and 8 both correct. I wonder if Thorns would have got no.8?

That only leaves 4 - which I only got after having to argue with the rest of my team that it wasn't the more obvious answer that they were thinking of.

[AFF]

Phoenix?

Dove?
