Since this is the Table quiz forum, how about a thread where you ask a table quiz style question, and whoever gets it gets to ask another. Just like all those specific ones, except about anything.

I'll Start.

Orion

It's Trevelyan and he was the British appointee to provide famine relief. "you stole Trevelyan's corn so the young might see the morn" refers to a man stealing corn that the British were supposed to give out anyway. He understated the extent of the famine and didn't pass out enough food. He also considered the famine natural justice against the Irish and nature's way of controlling the population. All in all a nice guy

Outstanding!!

Anyone know who/what Tevelyan, as in "The Fields of Athenry", was?

Everyone sings it but few seem to know exactly what the f**k they're singing about.

I know that the title "Ten" was the number of their favourite basketball player.

Franny and Zooey (1961) and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenter and Seymour: An Introduction (1963),are Salinger's only other published books
So the answer is 3 full books which were published. Lots of short stories though..

Orion

Think outside the box time: What book links John Lennon and Ronald Reagan?

A. The Catcher in the Rye

Mark Chapman who shot John Lennon was carrying a copy of the book and
John Hinckley Jr. who shot Ronald Regan was obsessed with the book.

Orion

World War 1. He was killed by a Serb and the Austrians weren't too happy about it.

It was, it was named after a Prime Minister. Melba highway in Melbourne is named after a woman and peach melba and melba toast after the same woman.
The woman is called after the city of Melbourne.
