OT - The Pub Quiz Thread

Well, it’s Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce with Graham Bond and another bloke so I’m guessing the Graham Bond Organisation

 

Correct. Dick Heckstall-Smith on Sax.

 

Which single town’s name can be put before the following suffixes - Swifts, United, Wanderers and Albion - to name teams which have played in the league (though never higher than the second tier)?

 

Burton?

 

Very good. Albion the only survivors, the others defunct or merged pre WW1.

 

Only partially cheated. Burton Albion came to mind, so I googled Burton Swifts and found that they existed. That was good enough.

 

An English musician once had to undertake a 6,000 mile round trip to record one word. What was the word?

 

OK, who was the musician? Easier to guess.

 

Mick Fleetwood

 

Phil Collins

 

Cherry.....as in Cherry Cola, from Lola by The Kinks. So that would be Ray Davies

 

That's right.

 

Who is the only person to have been nominated for an Oscar, a Grammy, a Golden Globe, and the Nobel Peace Prize?

 

Dylan ludicrously won a Nobel prize but for literature, thus devaluing the entire thing in my opinion.

I’d guess that this is the odious god botherer Bono. Hopefully he hasn’t actually won any of them.

Definitely musical though.

 

How did you get that!?

 

There was an anniversary story of it last week...I'm guessing that's how Stroller picked it up....

 

Unfortunately, you are correct....no idea if he won any, unless it was an Oscar for acting as the most pretentious **** ever

 

Google knows everything

 

Bono has 22 grammies and a golden globe
