Look forward to that Andy give us plenty of warning won't you please. Thought it was Rick as its one of the few albums by Dennis that has not gone onto CD, will check & get back to you via email as soon as I get word. Yes 'Hooligan' the great John Holt song, Dennis does a brilliant version of it. Will be in touch then Rick thanks again, well done on the quiz :-))) Pat x

Pat - yes - that's the one !! It has the title track, Hooligan and maybe 7 other tracks on. *crosses fingers*

Rick, CB's score would have been rather better without having to disappear mid-quiz and feed hungry family. (To what, you may well ask!) Well done. Just for that, you don't really have to wear the Pearly Queen outfit. Just the hat. CB >|< X P S To those who cheated and looked up the answers, BOO!

Rick hope you are still there? Thanks for that I just got back on after son took me seat on the computer :-( Well done to Gwynne are you gonna forgive her for saying Simple Minds instead of Dennis :-))) BTW Rick is it 'Love's Gotta Hold On Me' by Dennis you need on CD as I may be able to get a copy of album done on CD, its still not released officially on CD yet. Anyway let me know if it is that one ;-) Pat x

Lynda - you missed the 60s lmfao - did that earlier this year - 80s will be next when I get time. But a little bird (well Andy Oop Norf actually) tells me that that another quiz is almost ready to roll.....

Rick

Rick Report 27 Oct 2005 22:40

Standout winner was Guinevere whose name I keep speeling wrong. Andy managed an honourable second. Hats off to Bella Donna, Julie Frater, Christines H and in E, Pat GRIC, CB and Lynda F for roughly even scores within the limits of my naff record keeping. Nite all.xx

I really should have copied the questions and pasted them somewhere. Getting from page 1 to the current page is proving to be painfully slooooow.
