Don't know how to spell it, but Kazacstan?

ISTR the actual "Eden tree" archytype being in Babylon or Ur... which is Iraq these days!

Yes, that's correct Weyland. I was going to give Borat as a clue shortly, but you've saved me the deed. Over to ye!

I've just looked it up, it's spelt "Kazakhstan". I've spent the last day trying to remember "that big country between Ukraine and Mongolia".

Anyway, idley browsing Top of the Pops related stuff as the BBC have finally made it's demise official, I came across a few interesting Beatles facts:

Michael Jackson and Sony own most of the Beatles song publishing rights, but not all. Paul McCartney owns "Love Me Do", "Please Please Me", "P.S. I Love You" and "Ask Me Why". George Harrison's Harrisongs has things like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Something". But which two songs does Ringo Starr's Startling Music own?

right. I'll start the bidding with

"Back in the USSR" and "Paperback Writer"

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 1:51 pm

Neither of those.

In fact, I'll give you one of them, because it's not as well known as the other: "Don't Pass Me By". One more to get!

i know he sang octopus's garden so i'll go for that.

UP has it. As Bill Hicks once said "The Beatles were so stoned they even let Ringo write a couple of tunes".

Over to you...

i can't do a question for the moment, sorry.

Right. I'll do one.

Escape to victory i believe

I know what you mean Jimmy! My first choice ended up breaking his arm.

Anyway, over to you sir.

ta

ok keeping the footy theme, prob a fairly straight forward question.

Our friends from across the big blue atlantic still havent cottened onto the fact that football should not be called soccer cos thats a crap name for it

But where does the name soccer originate from?

Did it come from England and refer to something in particular?
