ReplyDeleteAs your old rugby coach used to say, "Well done JayCee!"
DeleteEven though I was an avid Beatles' fan, I only got 4 right. I would go to their movies and scream, "George!"
ReplyDeleteWhen George went to the movies, it is said that he often screamed, "Ellen!"
DeleteOh my goodness.....I got 9 !! Best ever result. (Didn't get No 7. )
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to make it too easy Frances.
Delete7/10 for me. I missed Harold Wilson, Stuart Sutcliffe, and "We Can Work It Out."
ReplyDeleteNot bad for a young Canadian.
DeleteAll right except for 7 and 10. (Thought Ringo was the youngest).
ReplyDeleteRingo was in fact the oldest.
DeleteOnly five today. I would have also asked who is your favourite Beatle? I would have answered: John Lennon.
ReplyDeleteI would have answered Stag Beetle.
DeleteI did not know 3, 5 or 7 (because I'd forgotten his name). I was uncertain on a few of the others but I guessed right.
ReplyDeleteYou would probably do much better with an ABBA quiz but there is no way I will be creating one of those!
DeleteDespite the fact I was quite a Beatles fan in my youth, I only got half of them right. My favorite Beatle was (and still is) Ringo.
ReplyDeleteAnd privately you are Ringo's favourite fan. If only he didn't have Barbara Bach in his life!
DeleteI got 7-1/2, the 1/2 was because I mixed up Harold MacMillan with Harold Wilson, but I knew who it was I just got the name wrong.... OK?
ReplyDeleteMcMillan was a raving conservative and Wilson was a passionate democratic socialist... so NOT okay Shammickite!
Delete1. ♪ ♫ Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ♫ ♪
ReplyDelete2. Penny Lane
3. Not a clue.
4. Winston
5. She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah!
6.Im guessing I Wanna Hold Your Hand because that's what I remember hearing most.
7. Stuart Sutcliffe
8. I had to sit and sing those lyrics until I arrived at We Can Work It Out
9. This one has me stumped/
10. Paul? John? George??? Ringo????
Not a bad go of it.
Not bad for a young man who wasn't even born during the heyday of The Beatles.
DeleteI did so badly, only got 1,4 and 10 correct.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than Andrew below!
DeleteLike getting a small prize for having the last horse to cross the finish line in a sweep, Is there a prize for 0/10?
ReplyDeleteYes. It is called a booby prize Andrew. Do you like boobies?
Delete7/10, stalled on 2,7 and 10 - I thought Paul was the youngest.
ReplyDelete"Good effort Carol!" as your football coach used to say when you put in a tackle.
DeleteI missed Strawberry Fields. Thought about it but told myself “no that’s in New York”.
ReplyDelete2/10. Ringo Starr's son went to a school I worked at, before my time, of course. The staff always referred to Ringo as Richard Starkey.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know 5 and 6, and for 3 I thought it was the Queen.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I will give it a go: 1)Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. 2)Penny Lane. 3)that guy with thewhite hair, no idea who he is. 4)a (wild guess) 5)b (other wild guess, 6)c (wild guess again) 7)no idea. 8)Strawberry Fields? 9)Strawberry Fields, 10)Ringo?
