Yes, of course...
Concentrating on the wrong words.
Which reminds me - should we tell R.M. he's overdone the zzs? 		Laura (43)
578137 2007-08-08 10:05:00 He'll never get this quiz sorted if he sleeps.

I wonder if we need to think away from songs and poems. 		joemac (9739)
578138 2007-08-08 10:20:00 Lol.
I meant the 2 ZZs in his spelling of quiz...

And no, I don't think the answer lies away from songs & poems.
In fact, as the 2 examples he gave are songs, they may all be.
We just don't know the right one.

But I do think we should make him post the whole quiz tomorrow less the 2 he's answered.
We deserve it... 		Laura (43)
578139 2007-08-08 10:30:00 Absolutely. I need to spend another two hours trying to trick google into giving me the answers. joemac (9739)

Well, I'm certainly sorry about the sex change I gave you - but disappointed you've given the answers with the questions .
Where's our Alzheimers-fending-off- exercise in that?
Not to mention the fun . . .

P . S . No, I see you've left a little for our braincells, after all .
Will look at those tomorrow .

PPS . Ok couldn't resis a very quick peep .

13 is old Father Thames, not Time .
16 is the Chelsea Flower Show . . 		Laura (43)

578143 2007-08-08 20:00:00 According to this (en.wikipedia.org(street)), Abbey Road is situated in London

But I wouldn't say the band was happy at this point.
It is regarded as one of The Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, somewhat ironically, as the band was barely operating as a functioning unit by this time. from here (en.wikipedia.org(album)) 		Myth (110)
578144 2007-08-08 23:16:00 Are you sure this quiz was composed in 1996 not 1946 as most of the songs and references seem to be almost exclusivly from the War and pre-war era


Greg You are definitely right on that one

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there. 		Morgenmuffel (187)
578145 2007-08-09 01:15:00 According to this (en.wikipedia.org(street)), Abbey Road is situated in London

But I wouldn't say the band was happy at this point. from here (en.wikipedia.org(album))The answer has got to be Abbey road. Remember that the Beatles did a lot of recording at the Abbey road studios before they recorded the road's namesake album. 		Greg (193)
