6. Not EMI, sorry. 10. Yes. Not a story to be retold here. It's an urban legend that can easily be googled for those who don't know. Two points. |

3. Jack the Ripper at a guess. It sounds mad enough.
9. Maybe a football pitch? So a big final but I have no idea which one. I'll go for a World Cup. |

OK, I figure 5 has to be in Australia, but then wouldn't bookpossum know?
For 6, I'll guess Columbia Records? Last edited by issybird; 02-20-2012 at 08:06 PM. |

I believe #8 is George Best, although I heard the quote as, "I spent 90 percent of my money on women, drink, and fast cars. The rest I wasted!"

Ah sorry, I missed the "where?" for No 5. I would think Australia is the right answer, issybird, so that's your point.

I'm going to guess at #9 -- A World Cup Game? You guys call a soccer field a pitch, right?
Edit: Never mind on question #9. I just read it again, and I need to name the commentator and the year. I don't have a chance. Last edited by Daithi; 02-20-2012 at 09:03 PM. |

No. It was a World Cup Game. We do call a football field a pitch, yes. |

5. "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?" - Prince Philip in Scotland
6. "We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out." - Decca said this about the Beatles 9. "Some people are on the pitch! They think it's all over...it is now!" - Kenneth Wolstenholme said this after England's fourth goal of the 1966 Football World Cup (our last ever win...) |
