See if you can get this quiz question.....

Post by gremlin »

Coz I couldn't last night, not after three pints of Dark Side anyway.

The four previous answers were:

-Abbey Road studios

-The Farm (as in the Scouse band)

-In Da Club (as in the 50 Cent song)

-Village People

Guess the connection....

The 5th letter of each answer spells YMCA?

I'll give you a clue. It's sort of motor racing related.

It was so obscure, and not just in my opinion. The whole bar did that collective moan when the answer was read out.

(We came second though and got a tenner voucher for the venue, which the Gremlinette quickly snaffled)

With questions like that you tend to look for an answer in the common ground,in this case music and that's what throws you!

I'd never have got it without being pointed in another direction.

And as a second tenuous link, I've had close calls at each one, but not binned it at any.

Have binned it at other bends though :mrgreen:

I'm out of the loop now, but I think they all go to the chapel by the copse on Sundays.
