What about that frog song?! I assume that will be up there in the worst bad songs?

That was in the charts twice but never made it to number one.

 

[allandwf]

Phew! lol

 

[midlifecrisis]

That was in the charts twice but never made it to number one.

More to the point why?

 

[Zep]

Correct, 17 with the Beatles, 1 with Wings, 3 on his own and then 4 charity singles live aid etc. total 25 - the pub was in uproar but as always QM is always right.

Your turn

Ok. We all know that the engine in our cars uses the Otto cycle. Which sort of engine is most often related to the Brayton cycle?

 

[allandwf]

That will be the Gas Turbine.

More to the point why?

One thing is certain we'll never give in and make it number one.

I think iirc the year following its first release there were not many Christmas songs released so a few old ones made it back into the charts again. Whams last Christmas was another one i think.

Too easy - on you go

BTW - I hear you are flying into Dyce Weds morning, maybe we can have a coffee before I fly out?

 

[allandwf]

I work on them so a bit of inside knowledge Yes should be in Wednesday morning, will give you a call.

 

[allandwf]

Question time. What is a Marilyn as found all over the UK.

 

[Zep]

Pure guess - gas pressure regulator?

 

[midlifecrisis]

Sounds like rhyming slang Marilyn Monroe...

I know what a munro is if its along similar lines.

Yes it is along similar lines, it is a hill of 150m. Off you go with the next question.

 

[CatmanV2]

Yes it is along similar lines, it is a hill of 150m.

Why?

C

 

[allandwf]

Actually with a prominence of 150m from it's surroundings, so it can be on a hill I suppose. Why? probably so the strange folks that climb hills can tick them off.
Can't see the point myself, if any of these hills were worth going up someone would have put a road in and there would be a pub at the top

Sorry, I meant why is it called a Munro?

Named after Sir Hugh Munro, who produced the first list of them.

I managed to get a question right without actually answering the question. A Munro is the name for a mountain in Scotland above 3000 feet as allandwf says named after Sir Hugh Munro.

I had guessed that a Marilyn was probably a smaller version but as i didnt really answer the question does somebody else want to jump in with a question.
