Btw Phil, the questions reveal an interesting choice of music.
Lol, it was cde Mandy who put the quiz together. She in turn got questions from cde Bentley's CD collection. Bizzarely he got all those questions wrong!
I only got five right. It would have been six but I thought No 12 was a trick question and you were going to pedant us to death with it being November actually. But you didn't, so top marx to this cheeky blogger.
What a totally crap end of year quiz Phil, why should we have to remember obscure revolutionsists in a 2006 end of year quiz ?
Nest years one had be better be improved or I'm not coming back here.
Honestly! How should I know? I scored 3 and you said it was easy! LOL
