UCET Quiz #2

Sledgehammer was a hit for Peter Gabriel

Omd[/quote]

OMD have not had a number one hit, I believe the highest they have charted is number 3 (twice) in the UK charts with "Souvenir" and "Sailing on the Seven Seas"

[Les Williams]

So, just in case...

Martin Cooper co wrote "Souvinir" with Andy McClusky
He was also a founding member of OMD
So if it is OMD then it is probably Martin Cooper because it sure as hell isn't Andy McClusky...

[Les Williams]

Oooh...
So a bit of research I find the other OMD founder member Stuart Kershaw co wrote "Whole again" for the band Atomic Kitten, which went to number 1...

In which case is one of the others on the trip Stuart Kershaw?

Les has the location correct (Browgill/Calf Holes) for 5 more points but the year is wrong (sorry).

Mike has the three remaining names correct (well, I will accept “Sledgehammer” instead of “Ian Jackson” as that was his nickname (nothing to do with Peter Gabriel)). He also was the person who wrote the number one (Ian Jackson) and he was a founder of the band â€" Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). That’s 7 points

The two missing answers are;
3) The number one hit was “Electricity” (allegedly)
5) The year was 2010 (October)

I have snaffled the 10 points for 2010

The information regarding OMD comes directly from the above. No excuses are made for inaccuracies.  :p

The guy in the glasses is You, Ian Adams
We are at the Stamford Gate

[Les Williams]

So...
No Ian Jackson founder of OMD, nor even shown as being in the band, at any time
and no number one hits, especially "Electricity"...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestral_Manoeuvres_in_the_Dark_discography

So no chance of ever getting those answers right...

With regards to the OMD questions, no one said the quiz was fair, balanced or a reflection of reality

All other answers are correct â€" You might want to spend some time looking for the lost 10mm spanner because you are spending far too much time here lol.

Ian's feet, poachers cave, discovery of the fossil passage, don't know the year, my guess 2008

[Ian A]

Ooooooh

Stones is almost spot on ....

Not my feet though (I took the photo)

The feet belong to Marc Carney. The two of us had gone into Poacher's to dig through (the trowel is in the shot) and we were the first to enter the chamber beyond which Marc named "Fossil Alley" (his privilege as he went in before me).

I will give an extra 5 points to Stones for naming the chamber that was found.

It was also 2008 - nice guess.

Stones gets 15 points ...

(Sorry Kieran)
