"General Knowledge Quiz"

What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the people, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.

The author of the question has to tell people who guess whether they are correct or wrong.

Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)

The 'ditty' is spot on - that's got to be one point but 'singers' names were?

Vindaloo-

Keith Allen
Fat Les
Alex James

Matches but I think it will be :D :D

"Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Jurgen Klinsmann?" as that was sung to the Dad's Army theme tune.

Sung by the Tonedeaf Allstars, and was in the charts. Where and who exactly? Meh :S

Not quite pete, it did get to No 13 in the charts......

I'll give you another clue, one of the personalities involved was connected with 'Dad's Army', one was directly connected with the World Cup and the other, from the boxing world and perhaps HP sauce.....:-)

Do incorrect answers get one point then ?.

If so I'll take a guess with 'you're going home in a ******* ambulance' or 'you're ****,you're ****,you're **** you are'


there the only football songs I know !









[S]more bike questions ! :D [S]

Thanks Shepps, not much of a chocolate fan anymore - must be old age ha ha, do remember though years ago in France wondering why Swiss chocolate was always that much more enjoyable - the answer was in the cocoa content - far higher than bog-standard Cadbury's...anyway, I digress...

World Cup will be on us quicker than you can imagine so.....

Four years ago, three well known sporting and television persons teamed up to record yet another unofficial 'World Cup Song'. It got to 13 in the charts. What was it's title and who were the three 'personalities'?

(I think, if Shepps agrees, we could give this one, two points)

Wow, i killed the thread for abit. Back alive tho now :D Come on Dragon ;D

Just had a Herschey's Kiss (or whatever/however that's meant to be spelt). Yucky! Had another one expecting it to be better...nope.

I'm not a fan of American chocolate!

Close enough, UK is 20% & you are right about the US.

interestingly Cadbury's dairy milk is made up of 23% cocoa solids.

your go DL!
