General Knowledge Quiz.

[Shadow Man]

I know the answers, I am just bored and wish to set a little quizette for my fellow ABers.

Those who google, are but a fool.

1) What was Elvis Presley's dead brother called?

2) What is a costermonger?

3) How did Ernie Bishop die in Corrie?

4) Who did David Icke play football for?

5) What was Sherlock Holmes correct address?

6) Who played the "M" equivalent in 'Never Say Never Again'

7) What was the direct sequel to Hammer's original "Dracula"?

8) Who played Danno in Streets of San Fransico?

9) Who was the doctor who primarily cared for the Elephant Man?

10) Who initially managed The Beach Boys?


I am sure some bright spark will get all 10 very quickly, but hey ho.

[FoxLee]

I know it's a long time ago, but was there a Danno in Streets of SF? There was a phrase 'Book Him Danno' in Hawaii 50.

[FoxLee]

1. Aaron (hence Elvis' ,middle name)

2. Someone who sold fruit (and veg?) from a stall

3. He was shot during an armed robbery

5. 221b Baker Street

That's my lot without googling!

[Clanad]

The one's I can answer from memory are:

1. Jesse Garon.

2. A peddler of fruits from a wheel barrow

8. Danno wasn't in Streets of San Francisco, but, rather Hawaii Five-O and played by James MacArthur.


10. Murray Wilson, father of three of the Original band.

For you: What was the original name of the Beach Boys and what year were they formed?

[Shadow Man]

That would be The Pedletones, Hawthorne, Califoria

[Shadow Man]

[Shadow Man]

They first got all together in 1961, although the Wilsons obviously played together from a very young age.
