Just too be fair to everyone, please don't misread the questions. For example, if I ask for a country, I don't want the city or if I ask for the song title, I don't want the band name and vice versa

Eek. I was about to give it the big one saying “akshually there are two doubly landlocked countries in the world”

Now I’m onto singing U2 songs! I’m torn between 2.

'Popular Forum Gamer'

Very liberal use of the word popular.

"In what year did Johnny Logan win the Eurovision with 'Hold me now'?"

Thanks for the Bohs question Kol

There are two round 7s That was tougher than yesterday, two soap questions is an automatic zero for me

And that maths question is a bit confusing. I thought it was what three numbers have the same result when added or multiplied by each other, and there's only two of them.

At about 1am, long after my answers had been submitted, I remembered the name of the British Prime Minister who was assassinated, without even thinking about it.

And I managed to feck up the footballer question by giving the wrong first name.

This fun game is also ruining my life a little. Cheers Kol.

Is Johhny a Bohs fan? Well that was a stroke of luck

There is a Bohemian Rhapsody question in there, will that do?

"Bouncer, a Labrador Retriever, featured on which soap between 1987 and 1993?"

I know this isn't the dog question I asked for!!! 'Cause this is a soap question and I don't watch soaps!!!

Assuming you haven't researched, I will still accept changes to yesterdays questions until tomorrow midday, same goes for everyone.

Everyday of my life!!! And my all time favourite Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy (yeah I know...weird choice)
All my kids are massive Queen fans and my eldest grandchild. (Still time to work on others) Of all the legacies I will leave behind that is across the board. If I survive Covid I expect the biggest Queen session in the world at my funeral.


If not I will haunt the ****ers regularly.

Ah perfect, just PM'ed you there. I did google the footballer one after (to confirm my suspicion that I fúcked it up) but hopefully the assassinated PM will redeem me, if I've remembered it correctly and my brain wasn't just messing with me.

Answers submitted...

Some absolutely cracking questions in the mix there Kol... even the Sports wasn't as bad this time (I'm actually confident in two of them )

There was a funny Two Ronnies "Mastermind" sketch, many moons ago, in which Ronnie Corbett's answers to Barker's questions were for the question before the one that had just been asked.
I feel as if my answers followed that very format.

Oh, here you go
