The All New All New Groundspeak UK Pub Quiz


Recommended Posts

Wasn't sure if it would count or not....

 

Let's change track a bit. Beatles song titles containing the word 'day'? How many can you name?

 

(including when they where quarrymen and any words containing a 'day')

 

Edit: I know 8. That'll get a ding unless challanged.

This was hard as I misread the question and assumed that "Yesterday", "Eight Days a Week", and "Birthday" weren't allowed. So I could only get four 'definite' and one 'maybe'. However, including those:

  • Good Day Sunshine
  • Hard Day's Night
  • Day Tripper
  • A Day in the Life
  • Yesterday
  • Eight Days a Week
  • Birthday

I'm not sure of this, but they covered many classics in the early years, and I suspect that Buddy Holly's "That'll be the Day" might be one of those. If so, that'll be the eighth!

That'll be the day is correct, so you have a ding there.

 

One you're missing: Things we said today.

Now that you mention it, that one seems obvious :(

 

The last answer included the Buddy Holly song, "That'll be the Day". Buddy Holly tragically died in a plane crash on 3rd February 1959, which Don McLean's song "American Pie" imortalised as "The day The Music died". Big Bopper and Richie Valens also died in that crash. However, two other musicians didn't get on that plane: one gave up his seat to the Big Bopper because Big Bopper was suffering from 'flu; the other lost a coin toss with Richie Valens.

 

Your task is to name either of the above two musicians who didn't get on that plane.

Whoops - didn't realise Richard had changed his mind.....

 

OK - which one thing are the following considered to have in common?

 

Oxygen

carbon

hydrogen

nitrogen

phosphorus

sulphur

 

Single letter chemical symbols ?

 

Just had another thought, after reading an article on "The Register" today which debunked a theory about microbes which could survive in the presence Arsenic, that article mentioned something about Phosphorus being essential to sustain life, I'm pretty sure that's true of the first 4 as well, so I'll go with :-

 

"These are all essential to sustain life"

Some keep us alive.

But one or two are what some describe as my odour. :lol:

Don't think I'm a winner. Once again!

 

***well done MARTY..I'm truly beaten, by those 2 crucial minutes. I need to speed thing up a bit!***

They're the six elements currently deemed essential to support life as we know it......
