[elQuintoConyo]

Here ye, here ye!

Day one of my Christmas Quiz

All welcome, sadly no prizes - except a smug smile and a pat on your own back

I'll post one question per day until Christmas Eve.

So, grab yourself a festive drink and snack of your choice and keep away from Google!

Bets of luck

Was it Fergal Sharkey from the plane over London the same day he couldn’t hear the backing track to lip synch to? On the Noel Edmonds show?

Or was that another mid-80s year?

Ernie [heart eyes]

Was it one of the Ronnies?

Russ Abbott (or Bella Emberg)

Did he do it without moving his lips? Was it in a play wot he wrote?

Great quiz Quinto!

Quick as a shot TrickyD yes it indeed was the lovely Ernie Wise

Thanks Ada and everyone! I'm enjoying the research.

Hasta tomorrow

Happy Saturday morning vibes to you all!

Question 5 is about Polar Express

How many voiced characters does Tom Hanks play?

Six.

Possibly. Questions are getting harder!

4 I think - Santa, the creepy train person, the Conductor/driver guy and the Dad.

I'll have a guess - 5 ? Being in between to the two posters above.

Not that keen on the film however.

A guess from thin air - 5?

The father, Father Christmas, The ghost guy, the conductor, so five?

Not 4, not 5, not 6...

Haha! Fiendish!

Oh, cross posted...He isn't all the elves is he?!

Tom Hanks voices:

1. the child (main character)
2. the Dad
3. the Narrator
4. FC himself
5. the Hobo
6. the Scrooge puppet (when child gets tangled up)
7. the Conductor

7!!

I hate the elves, they seem a bit mean and cold. And I hate the uncanny velley-ness of the animation. And I hate the bit where teh conductor says 'the water is frozen over the trackssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss'. the words tracks is about 20 seconds long!!

Love the caribou, though, and the engineers.

I may throw an easy one at you tomorrow

Good morning!

It's Christmas Tree Decorating day in the Coño house

Here's question 6:

Jackie Wilson's reissued song Reet Petite became the 1986 UK Christmas number one after helping to advertise what brand?

" It wasn't mince pies

Levis?

We will expect a photo of the Coño tree.

I'd say Levis too. Though I can only recall the launderette one which I don't think was Reet Petite.

(Menopausal memory is dreadful)

I was expecting Saint Nicholas based question for today!

No idea on the song/advert question.

Was it asda? No idea why I think that!

This is a great quiz elQuinto! Thank you

No clue about Reet petite. What a great quiz!

Visa I think? Definitely a credit card. This could be bonkers as I have no idea how I could possibly know this as I was only 5 in 1986!

TrickyD you're correct! It was Levi's, back in the days they did cool ads. Remember him stripping off in the launderette to I Heard it on The Grapevine? Fabulous.

But late this morning, celebrating a small person's birthday!

Question 7:

Which carol demands a figgy pudding?

Joyful Monday to all.

Oh, and no tree up yet, we had a lights "situation"

That one I know.....

We Wish you a Merry Christmas.
