Oops, typo. Should be "codladh"...

Codladh sámh = sleep well! (lit. serene sleep, rough pron. "culla sawv")

Hogwarts?

The dining room at Hogwarts is the Great Hall at Christs Hospital - this part of the world - about 30 mins away. It's not a hospital, it's a school - a very very good school - our managaress' son is there. Google it.

Don't be daft. If it was, I'd use more Latin!

John, that hall is magnificent. I must have a look!

ProQuiz #4

Main quest is to get the connection.

p4:1] Black cloud crossed my mind. Blue mist round my soul.

p4:2] They burned down the gambling house. It died with an awful sound.

p4:3] And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks.

p4:4] The message may not move me, or mean a great deal to me but hey, it feels so groovy to say.

p4:5] Ooh dropping down in my parachute, the white city she is so beautiful.

p4:6] In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor. Oooh hoo hoo.

p4:7] I've tried to find to the key to fifty million fables

p4:8] I was down at the New Amsterdam. Staring at this yellow-haired girl

p4:9] In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets, they scream your name at night in the street

p4:10] No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it.

This one is not part of the theme, but will give a clue as to what the theme is......

p4:11] No angel born in Hell could break that Satan's spell.

Post by **prospero** » Thu 01 May, 2008 9:00 pm

Doh! I got the Quo and U2 ones. Thought I'd posted the answers... brain freeze.

Should have got Happy Birthday. (slap on wrist).

ProQuiz4

You don't need to get them all. The connection is what I want. You could get it from just two answers. Or one if you are really clever.

It's in the lyrics rather than the titles/artists.

They are all well known artists. Nothing Indie. Especially 4:1

It should be shouting out from what you have already.

No more clues....

Moglet · Post by **Moglet** » Thu 01 May, 2008 11:51 pm

Still in PG72 mode....

Deaths? (Tommy Bolin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bill summat (Kate's lighting engineer)), Buddy Holly, Kennedy assasination in Joel's ditty???????

Or is it Bill? (Powell, Kate's engineer, Joel, ???)

Mwehhhhhh!!!

(Wish one had Noiseys as well as Smileys...)

But from your clue, and the fact that you'd excluded American Pie from the mix, they're both wrong.

Of course, you now know that I'm planning to rack up a psychotic one for you after this. Have to level the playing field a tad (although you're so good, it won't be easy!

)
