pretty close there Your Eminence, they weren't as zealous as in your day.

To be honest, I'd have hung the whole bally lot of them..

Right, I could go one of two ways, 10 (cos the French invented decimalization), or 14 (cos that's the date of the Bastille).

I'll go for ... 10.

getting closer; one of them was a "deviant aristocrat" ring any bells sir?

I don't think I know any deviant aristocrats... all these goings on were a bit after my time.

My next guess is 7.

yep; four counterfiters, two lunatics and the deviant. all yours YE. apologies for dud question.

It wasn't a dud question, but who was the deviant?

Right, my next question:

What is a "Triskelion?", and where would you be most likely to see one?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 1:02 pm

i've seen that word before but can't think where; is it that 3-legged isle of man symbol?

btw i do know how to spell counterfeit

ops:

Next time it happens UP, I'll just edit your post and spare your blushes.

Yes, the Triskelion is that 3 legged Isle of Man symbol...

Back to you UP.

okay when a song called wannnabe entered the charts at number three on july 8 1996 who was listed as the recording artist(s)?

Right. Obviously, that's the Spice Girls, but I assume that they didn't write the song, so I'm going to guess Simon Cowell.

Simon fuller was famously their manager, so perhaps its him?

nope and nope, you have the right song but the first week it charted they were not called the spice girls. (by the time it got to number one the next week they were)

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 2:07 pm

Ok then, after some rooting around i can only assume they were called Touch?

Matt

nope, touch were the previous band which had some other tart instead of emma bunton. if you had the first pressing of the cd you'd see the group not called the spice girls but something else not vastly dissimilar.

the familiar name was a media invention.

The Spice Rack?
