+MartyBartfast Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Gonna guess at the Band Aid single - We are the world, which was around that era. Quote Link to comment
+Beach_hut Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Gonna guess at the Band Aid single - We are the world, which was around that era. Of that Artist/Song combo, one of those two is right, one is wrong. I'll need both the correct song title and band name for the ding I'm afraid... Quote Link to comment

+speakers-corner Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thank you. Dorset has an unofficial name 11111-country, there is a Monument near Weymouth with the same name but is for another person. Who am I looking for (first and last name)? Quote Link to comment
+crb11 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thomas Hardy, I assume. (I found the virtual near his cottage on holiday there last year.) Quote Link to comment
+speakers-corner Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ding, and for a bonus point, do you know who the Monument is for? Quote Link to comment
+crb11 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thomas Hardy? Someone in the military, I think, but I can't tell you more than that. Picking up a theme: in the Radio 4 quiz show Brain of Britain, what do you have to do to be awarded a bonus point? Quote Link to comment

Picking up a theme: in the Radio 4 quiz show Brain of Britain, what do you have to do to be awarded a bonus point? I'll claim the bonus - it's Admiral Hardy as in Nelson saying "Kiss me Hardy" as he lay dying on HMS Victory (or was it Kismet?....). No idea about the new question Quote Link to comment

Yes, there was a third Thomas Hardy, and they were all related..! Quote Link to comment
