Question of the day

[spkennyuk]

The phrase twice but for a different reason makes me think it might be court cases or trials. Mafia tax evasion or war crimes possibly.

Wild guess but some logic there somewhere.

 

[2b1ask1]

That's not a bad guess - being from the Black Country.
Basil Fawlty - best to name him before this turns into another alternative question.
Kipper & The Corpse - brilliant.

Ha,

I just read the original post in my head with a 'union shop steward' black country voice and instantly came up with Jasper! - one wonders what he is doing these days...

 

[2b1ask1]

Well there you go; waiting for a heart by-pass operation it seems!

The years FIFA has accussed of taking bribes or corruption. Your missing a few years in the list.

 

[spkennyuk]

There are a few wars and conflicts in the middle east for most if not all of the years listed. Has that got anything to do with it ?

 

[Navcorr]

Had thought "maybe" a clue in the question could indicate assassinations.

 

[MarkMas]

1962, 1972, 1973, 1978, 1979 (twice), 1980 (twice but for different a reason), 1982, 1998, 2000.

Years in which the cows didn't come home?

Years in which midlifecrisis set a question on the SM forum that went unanswered for over 3 months?

 

[spkennyuk]

Not really enough context to the question. Im sure there are lots of things happened in those years that would be a correct answer. Without any context they probably wont be the answer that MLC is looking for.

Does somebody want to set a question while MLC is MIA. Im sure he will elaborate when he returns.

 

[Navcorr]

Maybe something like:

Q: What happened on 31st July 2017?

 

[spkennyuk]

Well according to the writings of Nostradamus MLC gave a clue.

 

[allandwf]

Motor sport related?

 

[Navcorr]

Well according to the writings of Nostradamus MLC gave a clue.

That is a better answer than the one on my card. What I was looking for was:

A: Somebody played Swing-Ball with MLC's nads for leaving us in limbo

 

[spkennyuk]

We could just do quick fire questions until MLC appears. Over to you navcor.

 

[Navcorr]

What is the musical (or rather who) link between Debbie Harry & Siobhan Fahey?

 

[Navcorr]

As this is quick fire - an early clue.
On occassions played under the pseudonym Elvis Ramone.

 

[allandwf]

That's Clem Burke. Blondies Drummer. Not sure of the Siobhan Fahey connection though unless he played drums for something she was in.

 

[Navcorr]

That's Clem Burke. Blondies Drummer. Not sure of the Siobhan Fahey connection though unless he played drums for something she was in.

Correct. The connection being Clem often played drums for The Eurythmics & Dave Stewart was married to Siobhan at the time.

Over to Allan.

 

[allandwf]

Ok, quick fire, after watching The Hungarian GP. What is the link between Force India and Williams at this race.
