Clearly a dull and crap question. Answer is Svalbard near Spitzbergen, north of Norway, where a German meteorological expedition was finally 'captured' 11 months after the end of the war. They knew the war was over, the allies knew they were there, but nobody got round to picking them up. Next visitor to set the next question.
Try a music question: Which is the only group to have had each member individually credited with writing a different No.1 hit for the group? Note this is not exclusively a UK No.1...
It can only be John, Paul, George & Ringo. Not a patch on the Stones, Kinks & Who etc. but not a bad band!
That's the answer. The Beatles were almost exclusively Lennon/McCartney co-credits but never individually credited. The best known examples of each members No.1 writing are: Freddie Mercury - Bohemian Rhapsody Brian May - We Will Rock You John Deacon - Another One Bites The Dust Roger Taylor - Radio Gaga Over to you G-C...
Who said "To think of these stars that you see overhead at night, these vast worlds that we can never reach. I would annexe the planets if I could; I often think of that. It makes me sad to see them so clear and yet so far (away)"
I had looked this up, GC, and it's Cecil Rhodes. I also like another quote of his, "Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life" I'll come back with a question unless someone beats me to it.
Anyone who heard Danny Baker on Saturday will know this, but what well-known song is this? "I think, that dream does not come back ever again. I painted my face and hands blue. Then suddenly I was being kidnapped by the wind. And I began to fly in the endless sky"
fly I think, that dream does not come back ever again. I painted my face and hands blue. Then suddenly I was being kidnapped by the wind. And I began to fly in the endless sky. Flying, oh, oh! Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh! In the blue painted blue. Happy to be up there. And I flew, I flew happily to the heights of the sun. As the world slowly disappeared out there, A soft music was playing just for me. Flying, oh, oh! Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh! In the blue painted blue. Happy to be up there. In the blue painted blue. Happy to be up there.
Those are the full English lyrics, Kiwi, but you haven't told me what the song is best known as, sung in another language.
