Rules:

1...Questions posted on Monday scran time. Answers whenever I feel like it.

3...You can't imagine what rule 3 was about.

4...The judge's decision is final.

5...During the first 24 hours only one post per player, containing as many answers as you wish, will be allowed. Additional posts will be ignored and edited posts will be disqualified.

6...After 24 hours there is no restrictions on posts (free for all).

Some question have been supplied by a player who wishes to remain anonymous. Thank you Mr. Anonymous.

Still some stuff left folks.
All the Ozmates must be at the beach. Nobody from Down Under showed up.

No problem for the next two weeks scran. I was sched to do next week anyway, so I'll just add the following week if necessary. Just keep me advised.

scran

Just a couple to help fill in some gaps:

Trivia 3: HHmmm...tough Piggy, do you mean:

Rainy day people always seem to know when you're feeling blue.
High stepping strutters who land in the gutters sometimes need one too.
Take it or leave it, but try to believe it: if you've been down too long.
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on


Trivia 32 - Seals and Croft?

Trivia 33 - Easy one _ ABBA

Good quiz. Might need you to do the next two also Piggy, pending a short notice task...


and on reflection - Trivia 3 answer is probably:

Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow you can't rise above.

23 - I Saw Linda Yesterday - Dicky Lee

26 - Who Let the Dogs Out - Baha Men

(Working in a Joint Headquarters and having access to Coalition partners does have some advantages.... )

and Trivia 11 - "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"


Damn Piggy, I did? My source has stepped out for the moment....

I'd have to guess for the artist to 34 - Tom T Hall?


And Jerry - An Officer AND a gentleman?


In reality, I can be one or the other.....

Jerry Coe

I can't play Clarence Carter's version right now to check if it's Patches; not sure whether General Johnson (who wrote it) recorded it before Clarence had the hit with it.
