Summat tells me that I'm the one who's gonna pay for that last remark...

Yawnnnnnn. Started at just gone midnight and just finished some nice big frames. Customer just carted them off.

Back to the Mog quiz 5....

Got them all apart from 4. And I'm damn sure I know at least 2 of them.

Think I'll have a quick kip now....

Only when there's an R in the month.

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

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

Quello che un errore per fare!

Capisco, ma non parlo Italiano...

Yet!!!

(And just how many languages have you watched UK comedy shows in? )

Είναι όλα τα ελληνικά σε με

I actually did Ancient Greek as an extra-curricular subject at school.

Now why doesn't that suprise me.


(wasn't Hogwarts was it?)

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!

Repeat after me:

jejejejejajajajaja

Now you can laff in Spanish.

I see the elevator can't quite make it to the penthouse tonight!

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

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....

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! )
