Strangely enough, I thought I had got the Algonquin answer wrong - especially as John Humphries corrected me - and it really threw me. I think I got a couple wrong and a couple of passes straight after it. Carol<br />Violette Szabo is a childhood heroine of mine ( I was an odd child!) so I was pleased to pay my small tribute to her memory.tvernosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08130404731300248545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-47853921946284926782014-03-03T11:29:46.867-08:002014-03-03T11:29:46.867-08:00I was surprised to see Factory Records as a subjec...I was surprised to see Factory Records as a subject on Mastermind. I played with Durutti Column for two years in 1983/84. Here's a question for Paul. Who was the cor anglais player that featured mainly on the track called Prayer on the album, Another Setting - me! Maunagh Fleming, now Kelly<br />I now live in Bristol. Well done to Paul -I didn't know as many of the answers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05876949194789294646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-54273690013821829732013-10-02T00:16:22.242-07:002013-10-02T00:16:22.242-07:00Tricky one.

I competed - in the loosest sense of the word - last year, and remember going into work one day to find my very sweet 19 year old colleague full of indignation because a lady who had answered on "The Waltons", had been awarded the point after answering '"Ginger Beer" instead of the correct "Ginger Ale": ('But they're two completely different drinks, Kit! COMPLETELY different!'). As my own "Hesperides" instead of "Hesperus" had been - rightly - disallowed, I felt a teeny bit sore myself. Heigh ho. As far as Heat Seven was concerned, I personally felt the greater error was allowing "Johnny Holiday'" instead of "Johnny Hallyday". Using my own experience as a point of reference, I'd've said she was extremely lucky to get that one. The Algonquin Club question was perhaps more of a grey area; I don't know.
