Posted: 26-Apr-2008 14:48 Just for fun. Whoever answers a question correctly can get to pose the next one... Question 1. What did Will Fyffe and Chet Baker have in common? |
| Onny Posts: 12842 |
Posted: 26-Apr-2008 15:35 They both died by falling out of a window. Not the same window, mind. |
| EFCinfo Posts: 2685 |
Posted: 26-Apr-2008 15:47 That is the correct answer. Both were hotel windows. Will Fyffe died in St Andrews while Chet Baker met his death as a result of falling out of a second storey window in The Prinz Hendrik Hotel, Amsterdam. Both deaths were recorded as accidents. Your turn for a question. :-) |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 15:58 What year is this from?  |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:02 The recording's 1995, so I'll guess 1996? |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:09 What did Sir Herbert Oakely, Professor of Music at Edinburgh University, exclaim when he heard a pig squeak while on a visit to the country? |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:14 Did he mistake the pig for a pork pie hat? |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:16 I've "googled" the answer but I'll give someone else a chance first. ;-) |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:18 Mrs FB will know the answer. |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:32 Onny and EFC have it. I came across it when checking Sir Herbert out after finding his arrangement of Scots Wha Hae in a student song book. I thought there was something immediately odd about the arrangements in the book, published 1900 or so - only tenors and basses. Also found this absolutely remarkable stuff: http://www.secamlocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/mrwatkin/isoc/twins.htm Sorry, off topic, but interesting, eh? |
| EFCinfo Posts: 2685 |
Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:38 The answer's in there too, of course. Perhaps, you'd like another go seeing as I cheated. :-) |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:45 Did partanface find it in TheScottish Students' Songbook? Bayley & Ferguson from1897? There's some good stuff in it. Not a quiz question. |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:48 OK, thanks. Humph, on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, made 'innocent' double entendres about the show's non existent scorer. e.g.She has been giving private tuition to singers..the director is keen to see what she might do for a tenor. Her name? |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:50 Cross posted Onny - that's exactly the book! |

Posted: 26-Apr-2008 16:54 Now that Humph has gone there's nobody left who knows all the rules of Mornington Crescent. |
