Off we go then, The Dwarf & Looney:
1. Visitor's Centre?
2. Lulu, according to Futtette
3. Tommy Cannon, apparently. So The Dwarf reckons, anyhow.
4. 1939?
5. Ooh, I've heard of this one. Mohammed Ali (or Cassius Clay
)
6. Golden Gate Bridge?
7. The Spice Girls
8. Boris Johnson. Or BoJo, if you prefer
9. Abraham Lincoln
10. Tender Is The Night?
11. Piano, I would say. Unless he had a brother who did pianos and he made triangles or something in his shed
12. Oh. I always thought it was a Cat Stevens song, did Cat Stevens do the cover then?
13. Mercury?
14. The Undertaker? Probably drives a bloody Audi or BMW if that's right
15. I'm normally quite good with anagrams, can't sort that bugger out though. Mind, we're struggling a bit with Johnny Depp films that would make any sense too
16. Elton John & George Michael
17. Not a series we ever really watched. Ray "You want some?" Winstone
18. A £20 note, at a guess. Can't imagine Elgar buggering about with fivers.
19. Not a clue, I'm afraid
20. Call Of The Wild
I'm still puzzled over Q12. The question asks "which rock band..." so it can't be Cat Stevens
"Maybe Harry Chapin and Cat Stevens are the same person, Bom?"
"No, I think Cat Stevens' real name was Yusef Islam"
"Oh. Maybe we'll get half a point for knowing that, then"
"I very much doubt it"
