Thanks Jan1956 - I did search on various combinations of JP and 19th century sex manual but couldn't see anything - I need an early night I think!
5E. The first female radio newsreader was Sheila Borrett but I cannot find any reference to her playing the trombone.
Please have you got 9C What was the singer Jeff Buckley allegedly listening to when he drowned in the Mississippi? Like you I am googled out!!
Question Author

Thanks Argee2


9 C is b) Whole lotta love / Led Zepplin:



5D : If you google "anna ford **** archers" you will see that it was Simon Pemberton who was called a sh*t on air by ANNA FORD
7D : This one has me stumped. Could it be that as the question was set by Simon Mayo of BBC Radio Five Live, the answer is BBC Five Live's messageboard? I can't find anything to corroborate this though.

I'm still short of half a dozen or so answers but help with the following would be appreciated for now.


7D : (as above) Which BBC messageboard gets the most postings?


1B: Which record-breaking pop duo have just celebrated their 20th year of having hit songs in the UK? I am tempted to put down The Pet Shop Boys but surely there are other candidates.


3D: Whose album The Nightfly has a title track bemoaning the lot of the late-night talk radio host? I can't decide between Donald Fagen and Steely Dan.


4D: What were Kiss called before Kiss became Kiss? a)Rainbow b)Wicked Lester c)Frehley's Comet. I have googled that they were first Rainbow, then Wicked Lester THEN Kiss Surely the answer isn't a) AND b)


Question Author

Thanks Trustavere, do you think 5 D is a misprint then (should be simon Pemberton rather than Brian Aldridge) or by process of elimination is it one of the other two?


I think 1D is Pet Shop Boys too


3D Donald Fagen


For 4D I've got b) Wicked Lister. I didn't find any reference to Rainbow on any the biogs I found.


I think that 7E must be Five Live related - but I'm not sure if question is asking for a lower level message board (golf, football, tennis etc) under the overall Five Live board?


Dear andie23


I'm running with Anna Ford for 5D


Regarding 4D have a look at www.kissfaq.com/bandology/kiss.html also wikipedia
