azezil · 29-10-2003 12:35pm

just one question, what does all this gotta do with your age???

Sauron · 29-10-2003 12:40pm

Azezil asks.....
just one question, what does all this gotta do with your age???

The idea is that If you can recognise some of the older ones..
They were probably playing/being shown during your younger days.....it wouldn't be solely based on that though

ferdi · 29-10-2003 12:46pm

Try...
Forrest Gump,
Chubaka
and
Ghandi
...it's all to do with the spelling.

Okie · 29-10-2003 12:56pm

Yeah the spelling is all important (Chewbacca got it for me

) Somtimes you need a "The" before certain ones, like "THE" Village People.

I'm on 61 so far, bit of a combined effort between a few of us though.

Are there any answere available, cos I'm pretty sure this will fry my noodle in a while

ferdi · 29-10-2003 1:01pm

41 now, who the feck are the guys in the red jump suits??

ferdi · 29-10-2003 1:07pm

sionnach · 29-10-2003 1:11pm

Winters · 29-10-2003 1:27pm

Ro: maaan! · 29-10-2003 1:49pm

Well... I was on 51 before the answers were posted...

Bard · 29-10-2003 1:52pm

I got 45 before the answers were posted.

Was surprised that I guessed Bucks Fizz, Hanson, The Cheeky Girls, Grace Jones and the Backstreet Boys correctly... but hey, whatcha gonna do, eh?

azezil · 29-10-2003 2:04pm

a mug of coffee and i'm up to 42, and delete the answers, pfff spoiling it!

Is it worrying to anyone else that one of the first one i spotted right away was the supremes!

Dr. Loon · 29-10-2003 2:20pm

I'm on 48.
Getting very tempted to look at the answers. Must resist.

dougal · 29-10-2003 2:31pm

I'm on 88 now - very tempted to look at the answers.

Some of the spellings really bug you though!

Okie · 29-10-2003 2:43pm

I'm sorry I posted the answers now. The temptation is too much, at my final go I was on 75. I don't think I would have got many more any way!

ferdi · 29-10-2003 3:11pm

checked the answers, there are a few spelling mistakes and some you'd just never get.

Dr. Loon · 29-10-2003 3:21pm

Yeah... gave up around 60 - I wouldn't have a hope of getting them all.

Tellox · 29-10-2003 3:48pm

either this is the biggest quiz in the world, or its just not loading at all

dougal · 29-10-2003 4:42pm

Well I gave up on 90 - the other 5 had only one that I should have got and the rest were very tough!

Bard · 29-10-2003 4:48pm

Snowball · 05-11-2003 12:51am

Here is a completed one

Stark · 10-11-2003 2:55pm

Stark · 10-11-2003 2:59pm

ok. it's not accepting my answers for the A-team(b69) and Gandhi (C65). And F69 has to be simon and garfunkle hasn't it?

gogo · 10-11-2003 4:18pm

Chas and Dave are (as far as I know) a couple of Cockney singers. They did "Snooker Loopy" a few years ago. Kind of a novelty duo.

There were a few in that test that I've never heard of:- "Sigue Sigue Sputnik" being one, and how the hell do you distinguish between The Fonz, Rick Astley and James Dean?

Macseamusa · 11-11-2003 10:45am

i got 16.... the first one i got tho was the young ones. i only got Queen by the tash lol.
