Trumpet / Trombone?
Was that a reference to 'Joey the lips'?

That's it! The trombone. Mr. Beethoven had strange taste!

Over to you.

K.

I'm probably not much good at this.. so.. a riddle for you:

It's stronger than superman, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it, if you eat it, you'll die, if you steal it you break no law, what is it?

Your turn..

Culture question!

What futuristic, crime-fighting, apparently sentient device was known as KITT?

Jellybaby1

Knight Rider? Or Knight Rider's car? Never knew which was which.

Steve

It was the car.

Knight Industries Two Thousand.

I'm embarrassed I know that..

garancafan

Not as good as "Chitty chitty bang bang" - at least adults could appreciate that.

OldGoat

There is no supercar like a Jerry Anderson Supercar!

Jellybaby1

Not sure if I got that one as I wasn't sure which was which.

Samaris

It was Knight Rider's car, yep. Steve got the full thing, but you were in first, so both stick in a question and we can try get this multiple question thing off the ground again?

Steve

Says my auld one to your auld one...

Where were they going?

garancafan

They were going to some place or thing that sounds like "waxey's/waxies' dargle". I would guess that it was a pub.

Jellybaby1

'Hakka' is a dialect of which language?

waxies' dargle is right but it wasn't a pub, it was / is a place

I'll guess Maori for obvious reasons.

Jellybaby1

Nope! Not Maori.

looksee

Polynesian? Is Polynesian a language? (arm chancing of a significant variety going on!)

Jellybaby1

Nope, not Polynesian either. As I will be away from the computer for a while and won't be able to check in here I will give the answer now as I know you are all dying to know. Hakka is a dialect of Chinese. I'm sure someone will jump in with another question.

Which Spanish city has been the setting for operas by Beethoven, Bizet, Mozart and Rossini?

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

I believe that is Seville.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

What one word was used as a song title by The Rolling Stones, Abba, and Pink Floyd?

OldGoat

And the operas are: The Barber of, Carmen, and...Don Giovanni?

This question popped up in here already I believe.

I had in mind: the Barber, Marriage of Figaro, Carmen and Fidelio. Given that the latter is Beethoven's only opera, I felt that it was easy.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Oona, Lita, Paulette and Mildred all married who?

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Anybody? Clue time?
