Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: Snuffy Date: 28 May 02 - 07:19 PM 15 men on a deadman's chest is a fragment that RLS made up for the story? |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: Noreen Date: 28 May 02 - 06:42 PM Maggie In The Wood.midi from JC's tunefinder. |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: greg stephens Date: 28 May 02 - 06:10 PM thanks a lot, Ian, as always. Maggie defeated me...never heard of the tune.I'll look out for it. Keep'em coming! |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: Noreen Date: 28 May 02 - 03:57 PM If I had Maggie in the wood, I'd do her all the good I could If I had Maggie in the wood, I'd keep her safe 'til morning... Good quiz, Ian! |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: Noreen Date: 28 May 02 - 03:54 PM Maggie in the Wood! |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: IanC Date: 28 May 02 - 12:39 PM Greg Sorry, didn't notice your question first time ... RLS's pub was, of course, called "The Admiral Benbow". BTW, I don't know any other name for the song but "15 Men on a Dead Man's Chest" does it have another?
Cheers! |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: IanC Date: 28 May 02 - 12:29 PM The tune starts with the Prime Minister's first name (at least that's what I know it as). ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: greg stephens Date: 28 May 02 - 12:10 PM Theres a McDonalds Reel but I couldnt make senseof that with the whole clue, or any Maggie tunes that spring to mind. And I dont know any Macmillan tunes. But reading the clue carefully,the Prime Minister doesnt necessarily start with an M, or the tune for that matter. Itcould be just a word in the tune title. The XVmen were just a reference in the song. Side question for quizzers: what connects clues A and X in this quiz. This is one for you, IanC, but Iexpect you thought of it already while setting the quiz. |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: GUEST,Bullfrog Jones (on the road) Date: 28 May 02 - 11:56 AM The Prime Minister could be Ramsey MacDonald.... BJ |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: IanC Date: 28 May 02 - 09:31 AM Just M left, really. Doesn't have to be a song ... think of a tune (though it does have words). :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: IanC Date: 28 May 02 - 09:04 AM Greg Hm ... you didn't say XV what, though, did you!
;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: greg stephens Date: 28 May 02 - 08:52 AM hey I answered XV hours ago...isnt that right IanC ? |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: Snuffy Date: 28 May 02 - 08:46 AM XV men on a dead man's chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: IanC Date: 28 May 02 - 08:46 AM Summary so far.
A - Admiral Benbow Just G, M and X left. Doing well ... anyone got any ideas for these three? :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: Wolfgang Date: 28 May 02 - 08:41 AM With the 'exciseman' I was already in the cheat mode. I didn't know the song but had the 'X-ciseman' idea and searched the DT for songs starting this way. Still in the cheat mode (doing the search for words without any clue about the song): G : click (other may want to have fun without cheating) Wolfgang |
Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: greg stephens Date: 28 May 02 - 08:33 AM Well we seem to be ground to a halt. What about this prime minister in the forest. Any Lord Home's in trad songs? I'm flummoxed. Maggie appears in the odd song, but it doesnt seem to lead anywhere. And McMillan begins with an M butdoesnt suggest anything to me. Totally stuck. |

Subject: RE: BS: Another alphabetic quiz From: DMcG Date: 28 May 02 - 06:33 AM Have to go out, so I won't be doing many. Here's my first stab
B - Bold Fisherman Well below the half that opened the batting last time :-(

Subject: Another alphabetic quiz From: IanC Date: 28 May 02 - 06:16 AM Here's another whole alphabet of (mainly traditional) songs and tunes (once more, I had to cheat a bit on X and Z's getting a bit thin ... any suggestions - PM me).
A - Getting legless in the West Indies; draw near and hear. Answers, as usual, on the forum. The last one took you about 2½ hours and I suspect this may take about the same time. Collaboration strongly encouraged and comments about songs, tunes, performers (or anything else) welcomed. Good luck. Ian |
