Harald Hardrada? I supposed that name could be considered rude - mind you, I was brought up on a diet of 70's Carry On movies...

Yes, it was indeed Harald Bluetooth, King of Denmark and inventor of a wireless personal area network.

right which popstar-cum-actress has the middle name paul?

I'll guess Billy Piper on the basis that her first name also sounds male.

one shot one kill for the Hornby. not knowing this cost me £2 on countdown the other day. i guessed peter which, in hindsight, was very foolish. peter piper

anyway, all yours.

Lucky guess although not many popstars I can think of switch to actress- more the other way round with soapstars.

Continuing with the popular music theme: From where did, Las Vegas based darlings of NME, The Killers take their name?

May be a bit tough but I noticed something at the weekend which made me think hmm I wonder if that is where the Killers got their name from and on checking I was in fact right.

I've no idea, but that's never stopped me before, so I'll guess they're called the Killers because they get their name from the schlock-movie Driller Killer.

I always thought they were a British band. Shows how much I know.

i've never heard of them so i trump HE on ignorance of pop culture.

they are all addicted to painkillers?

I'm guessing taht this might be a bit tough- one of those that you have to know the answer to otherwise v difficult to guess.

First clue then- the answer is linked to another band this time definitely from England.

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 3:50 pm

this makes sense to me anyway...

something about the band they might be giants and giantkillings?
