Superdan24 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Well the Fair Play award goes to people rather than clubs, so if you mean the Fair play trophy (given at world cups), I'd take a guess at Spain. I don't remember tham getting too many bookings, I don't remember a red card, and they went the furtehst so it'd make sense Edited July 21, 2010 by Superdan24 Quote Link to comment
+naffita Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 This seems to have died. So, one we had in our local last week: Of the 50 American states, how many still have the death penalty? Quote Link to comment

+MartyBartfast Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Well we had to get there in the end! Back in 1977 "The Adverts" had a top 20 hit with "??? ???'s eyes", two part question:- Who was ??? ??? Exaclty how did he die? Edited November 2, 2010 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Gary Gilmore, but I don't know who he was or how he died. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Gary Gilmore, but I don't know who he was or how he died. Well Gary Gilmore is good enough for who, but I still want to know how Quote Link to comment
+naffita Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 39 Thats a DING at last. err, sauce on that one then please? Source for the answer: It's the one given at my local quiz night. Rule one applies "The question master is always right" Rule two "If the question master is wrong, refer to rule one" Quote Link to comment
+MaxiP Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 If it's the Gary Gilmore I'm thinking off, he had an unfortunate accident when walking in front of a firing squad in the US Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 If it's the Gary Gilmore I'm thinking off, he had an unfortunate accident when walking in front of a firing squad in the US DING to MaxiP. Gary Gilmore was a convicted murderer who demanded to be executed by firing squad (and he was), he also requested that his organs be used for transplants, and his corneas were used as such, hence the line in the song "Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes".

+The Blorenges Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Found this thread buried under a heap of autumn leaves. Anyone got a question to get it going again? MrsB Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'll jump back in: Who used "Dance of the Cuckoos" as their theme tune? Quote Link to comment
+Unobtainium Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I had no idea, so I Googled, and I would have never of guessed. Everyday is a school day. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm 100% certain everyone on here will have heard of them, and would recognise it as their theme tune, and I reckon most of you will be able to whistle or hum it when the answer's revealed. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 A guess: "The Good Life". MrsB Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 A guess: "The Good Life". MrsB No. I've already had one correct answer offline. More clues when I get home tonight if it hasn't been guessed. Quote Link to comment
+Aggrajag Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I didn't know so I Googled it and got 100% direct hits on the first page. Had to have a listen to it for my childhood's sake I'm not going to answer though, I'll leave that for someone who actually knows the answer... Quote Link to comment

+MartyBartfast Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Sooty and Sweep? MrsB Did Sooty and Sweep have a particular theme tune? I can't remember, but no it's not them. Aggrajag remembers them from his childhood, I remember them from my childhood (and I reckon I'm a good bit older than Aggrajag) and my dad remembers them from his childhood!

+currykev Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Never liked that Sooty dude. Always whispering into Mr Corbett's ear. But Sweep was as cool as. Don't know the answer to the Q though, sorry! Quote Link to comment
