Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Ha ha -Very good!

Loo-king after number 1!!!

- but will have to come back to the rest, need to start packing for my hols!

PS Can't I have a prize - pleeeeeeeeeeeease!!

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Oh I knew this would happen, now I'm hooked:

13 is Joeys on the street again
and 9 is Keep it up

But I'm not going to look at any more, shall give everybody else a chance!

I take it it's a slow work day for you .....

Mark L · Loudmouth

2. The Bitter End

3. Elephants Graveyard (Guilty)

4. Skin on Skin

5. Blind Date

6. Diamond Smiles

7. Banana Republic

8. House on Fire

14. Another Piece of Red

15. Neon Heart

Working on the others...!

suss · In the Long Grass

Impressive..nearly finished in about a tenth of the time it took me to compile it!

Afraid it's not Banana Republic though wink

suss · In the Long Grass

For completeness

7 isn't Banana Republic, and 4 isn't Skin on Skin

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Could 7 be Fall Down? As in slip on a banana skin??

I think 4 is Man at the Top

10 is Cheerio

And am sure 12 could be Close As You'll Ever Be - but not sure why apart from the bee!

Just to be picky though 14 looks orange to me

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Is 7 then skin on skin?

suss · In the Long Grass

Correct! 7 is Skin on Skin and 4 is Man at the Top. Should have made these harder!

Lisa is right with 12...

Klose (German player) Adze Yew Lever Bee

Hmmmm...not much for the latecomers to play with. Maybe next time I'll ask for PM responses until someone gets all correct.

Just 11 to go I think?

Well done you lot!

Tall King Ink Ode

(or Talking in Code - which is a lot less interesting)

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Great quiz,I was a little late seeing it, so the ones I knew had already gone.

Mark L · Loudmouth

Got Talking in Code around same time as ArrGee.

Ashamed to say though I was on another site scouring a list of Rats songs and looking how ink could fit in!

Good quiz Suss, reminds me of the old Identikit Quiz on Radio One in the early 90s.

suss · In the Long Grass

Short lived, but hopefully a bit of fun.

I'm off for 2 weeks now so plenty of time to derive another I hope...

Sad man...

Sadder still, is that you are squeezing a vacation in between gigs

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Assume you'll be back ready for Henley. Only Suss

. Love it.

suss · In the Long Grass

Too right. Only booked the holiday once gigs were finalised smile

When is the divorce hearing?

suss · In the Long Grass

At least 2 weeks away I should think. She'll want to get the whole holiday first

wink

Derek The Dane · V Deep

Picture 12 = Fat Frank,did not know that the Rats did that.I am crap at these sort of things,great idea though.

Derek The Dane · V Deep

Just realised its not even Frank Lampard,damn I really am crap at these.

suss · In the Long Grass

Just had another look and you're right, does look just like him, especially with the eyes to heaven 'celebration'. But unless Google images let me down or Fat Frank has ever played in a German shirt I'm 99% sure it's Klose.

jamieuka · House on Fire

Steward's enquiry, please:

2)
She's not the best
Late last night, swiftly followed by, Nothing happened today
Having my pitcher taken
Never in a million beers
Precious time (gentlemen please)

3)
She's gonna do you in
Me and Howard Hughes

4)
Having my picture taken
Watch out for the normal people
Dave

7)
Fall down
Go mango
Has a, erm, 'distinctive' shape so, Banana re pubic (Keep it up, Hard times, Up or down and other innuendo)
...but surely a John Peel session?

14)
Eva Brown

Thanks for the quizz, suss. I was genuinely stumped by number 2.

suss · In the Long Grass

I like the lateral thinking. Most of those answers are better than the intended ones!

Love the interpretations of 2 and 7 in particular. Hadn't spotted the imagery of 7 myself.

Got me intrigued on Dave and Eva Braun though????

jamieuka · House on Fire

4) Bloke at the bottom left is called Dave, I'm sure of it.

14) Thought it might be some brown (braun) 'cheese' from Trivial Pursuit, plus Eva was a wrong 'un.

jamieuka · House on Fire

Final answers:

1) Sum 1 loo king at U (bend)

4) A hold of me (otherwise I'll Fall down)

5) This is my room (and you can't say it isn't)

12) So strange (striker mattock evergreen flush drone?!)

13) Dave (due to the repeats)

14) Dave (see 13).

suss · In the Long Grass

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this.....

Slightly more cryptic and less graphic then:-

26/3 - Lauderette

27/3 - Tesco

28/3 -

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Someone told me nothing happen today...

suss · In the Long Grass

Correct. Def need to make these harder.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

I wouldn't exactly have called that cryptic

jamieuka · House on Fire

Do you remember The Cringe from DLTs Saturday morning Radio 1 programme? Example: guy goes into one of those shops that repairs shoes and duplicates keys, tells them he's holding a competition and needs a trophy to award to the donkey that makes the best donkey noise, can they oblige? The cobbler guy isn't sure, says he'll think about it, come back in a few days. When the competition guy returns the cobbler guy say, "I can't do it, it's just too difficult." Except he didn't say those exact words, rather he said the title of a song. Not a Rats song in this case, BTW.

suss · In the Long Grass

I'd go with either Braying cup or Bray King Cup is hard to do?

Do remember that DLT slot yes. I recall the answer to one which was a band name but not the clues, but would have been along the lines of lead violinist who only ever vacuumed his house with the lights off.

I also enjoyed his alternative video show, for songs that as far as I know never had a promo video.

Mark L · Loudmouth

I recall that one!

OMD -Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

ie Orchestral Man Hoovers in the Dark

suss · In the Long Grass

Spot on!

Can even remember where I was living when answer revealed, so would have been 87-88. Only wish I could remember what was agreed at work last week.....

How you remember all the chart positions and progress towards them I'll never know! I'm doing well to recall peak positions nowadays.

jamieuka · House on Fire

Bray king cup is hard to do, indeed it is.

Here's another Cringe I recall (warning: it's a tough one):

A woman on the beach says, "When I rub my skin with this cake, I go a lovely sun-tanned colour. But when I get too hot, I rub the cubes from my chilled drink over my skin and I go the colour associated with cold." Except she didn't say those exact words, rather she said the title of a song.

suss · In the Long Grass

Pretty sure I've cracked that one, but I'll avoid hogging the answers and let someone else have a go....the joys of being on holiday with time to think about these things smile

jamieuka · House on Fire

@suss: there may be a bit of misdirection going on, might be best to have an alternative answer handy. After all, not called the Cringe for nothing :)

-- Edited by jamieuka on Thursday 7th of August 2014 07:52:07 AM

suss · In the Long Grass

Two answers! Getting one is hard enough!! biggrin

I'll stick with one I've got and post later if no one else has.

Mark L · Loudmouth

Guys, you're reawakening brain cells that went to sleep years ago!

Doughnut make me brown, ice blue

Don't it make my brown eyes blue, Crystal Gayle

They're not reawakening enough to get a 2nd though Jamie!

jamieuka · House on Fire

I came up with a few alternative answers:

Foreigner, 'Churros, cold as ice'

David Soul, 'Doughnut, give up on ice baby'

Dana, 'It's Gonna Be A Cold Cold Christmas cake'

Vanilla Ice, 'Ice Ice Baba'

C*ckerel Chorus, 'Ice one simnel'

But of course the answer is

S
P
O
I
L
E
R

A
L
E
R
T

The Police, 'Doughnut, sand, so cold to me'

Thanks for playing [ducks]

I'm not on holiday myself, I need to get back to work, those headlines in The Sun don't write themselves, you know!

-- Edited by jamieuka on Thursday 7th of August 2014 01:37:35 PM

noelindublin · Loudmouth

Speaking of doughnuts the great cricket sledging goes- not sure who the players were but: 'how come you look so ***** fat? Cos everytime I **** your wife she gives me a doughnut! smile

Always makes me laugh.

suss · In the Long Grass

I had Mark's answer and I'm sticking to it

Not sure I get the alternative confuse

Mark L · Loudmouth

Well....I didn't like to say it early doors, but the Police song title when spoken bears less relation to the clues and vice versa than what Suss and I have come up with!

Jamie - as a Sun headline writer, assume some fairly positive press can be ascribed to the Rats stupendous Autumn tour blah blah and new album. ...!

jamieuka · House on Fire

OK, due to popular demand, Crystal Gayle it is.

A headline about the tour? Sorry but I've got more important things to write headlines about. For instance, I was attacked by the star of the TV show Miranda. I fought back and eventually managed to have her pinned down with just one of my legs, called the Police and told them, "I have a great title for a song..." but realised it was not original.

suss · In the Long Grass

Hmmm...the Police? So it's not 'Toes to the hips on the Hart' then?

suss · In the Long Grass

What might have been after IOW comeback....

The Sun - "Hiss-tory!"

The Daily Telegraph - "Boomtown Rats make triumphant return"

The Guardian - "Bomtown Rats make truimphant retrun"

The Daily Mail - "Like Crockwork"

The Daily Mirror - "Teacher elopes with Fourth Form pupil"

The Daily Star - "52GG Woman at IOW festival"

jamieuka · House on Fire

The Police was just misdirection, it's a BTR song.

Ah, the lack of proof reading in the Granuaid!

I'd have thought The Sun along with the celeb mags would have simply focused on Peaches and Pixie. As for the Mirror headline,had the NOTW still existed they'd be calling for Geldof's arrest in far stronger terms for encouraging paedophilia ...

jamieuka · House on Fire

'Toes to the hips on the Hart' is better than the solution I had in mind, 11 bonus points to suss!

suss · In the Long Grass

Wouldn't have got knee on hart without the BTR clue I have to admit....

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Groan! Why am I so rubbish at getting these! I knew it was something to do with hart, and even then I couldn't work it out! Sigh

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

confuse The only song I could think of relating to heart/hart was neon heart. I was too stupid to realise that was the answer, couldn't get why until you told us. Doh

Mark L · Loudmouth

OK, first time I've ever set one of these quiz thingys, so apologies if rubbish. You're looking for a Rats album track from this:

I'm Chaka and, after music, I turned to manufacturing laptops and computers, but only for people who share my surname.

ArrGee · Back To Boomtown

I khan make IT if you khan ?

Or
Khan Dell Khan by Suzi Quatro...

suss · In the Long Grass

"I, Khan, make kit if you Khan "

Nice one....little cottage industry building here in summer lull smile

Any others?

In meantime, here's one to sort the (wo)men from the boys....

Well done fella

Yay! I think Khan Dell Khan was better. As for suss's latest, I guess it ain't a Rats song, but instead that well known track, River How Gallery Colour Chart....

(I must be a boy)

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

confuse The colour chart keeps leading me to pink and gold. But that's the lyrics not the song title.

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Meander "How"(ard) Hues = Me and Howard Hughes, but not sure about the "ard"???

Lisa · Mondo Bongo

Though I suppose it could refer to it being a (h)ard one to solve ....

suss · In the Long Grass

Well done

smile

Right song....and 3/4 clues. Will leave last to see if any correct guesses

Mark L · Loudmouth

Meander How Art Hues?

If this is right, feel a fraud coming in at the 11th hour with it!

Mark L · Loudmouth

Khan Dell Khan was excellent and actually better than the right answer like Jamie's Having my Pitcher taken, for the Bitter End.

The spooky thing is that Suzi Quatro song was playing when I put the radio on this morning.

ArrGee - Sleep is too obvious and 2 pictures would not be required. So are you looking for another song?

Sleep and When the Night comes......?

Jamie - no immediate thoughts. Will Sleep on it and think again later.

When the morning comes.

Yeah, well obviously I realised as soon as I'd put the light out and gone to bed that it was Art, but didn't think I would be very popular with hubby if i got up to log on to computer again ... So I will be very noble and share the glory of being a total genius with Mark! smile

Give that man a banana. Got it in one. There is a big copyright dispute about who owns the picture, that was what all the fuss was about.It is either the monkey himself or the camera assistant who set up the shot.

PS Not sure how this will go down with ArrGee as the copyright might belong to the monkey? That's how lawyers make so much money. smile
