    Marvin.

    Memories of concerts long past are flooding in....

    It was indeed Hank B. Marvin - lead guitarist with the Shadows. This was the original Shadows line-up as I remember them from the National Boxing Stadium in, I think, 1960.

    You're on.

    Clarke (Dundalk). They're train stations - Pearse, Connolly are in Dublin and MacBride is down down Drawda Town.
    We took the Enterprise to Belfast a few years ago and, although we whizzed through Dundalk, I spotted "Clarke" on a sign.

    Now, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on setting another question. I'm going to mo leaba early because I'm in for a rough day tomorrow at the hostible. And I'll be fierce cranky when I get home. Perhaps Autumn Harsh Cloud would oblige again.

    Well done. Stations running South to North named in 1966 after the leaders of 1916. I hope tomorrow isn't too rough.


    Who's next in the sequence

    Davison, Baker, McCoy, McCann....

    :D it would be hard to watch less tv than me - I put it on this evening, drifted through all the channels, couldn't find anything to watch and switched if off again - about the first time I had put it on in maybe a month, apart from the grandchildren watching the occasional cartoon.

    I thought it might have been to do with the Who PhDs too, but, as Jellybaby put it, it's not my thong!

    I can't understand looksee not finding something to watch this afternoon. There was Munster v Treviso for God's sake!

    What's a BAFTA?

    Sorry, I led that astray, the question is Srameen's one:
    'Who has won a BAFTA in Black and White, Colour, HD, and 3D.'

    and I am going to chuck in another one just to keep it going:

    There was, according to Jewish literature, another woman in the Garden of Eden - what was her name?

    You are so right Srameen! Maybe throw another question into the mix, just to keep things going!

    And the wife of Cain I think was there but she was never named, just a woman from the land of Nod..... ( I may be wrong)

    I could be wrong but I think she originally had a reputation for nude scenes in her early days. biggrin.png

    No to all.

    I'm sure you have all seen some of his work on TV.
