3, G-Mex 4, Rob Gretton 7, AHW parents - wasnt it a jewellers? 8, Morrissey

Hooky's mam used to buy her cigs off Wilsons dad , it was a newsagents wasn't it ?

I thought the chippy was owned by George Khan , whose son Ayub wrote the play and film East is East , maybe that was Ordsall road

JOIN ? They appeared on the same bill at The Festival of the Tenth Summer , I remember McCullough of the bunnies gettin up , but not the Smiths . Best highlight or one of 'em anyway ; for me , The Worst who reformed for an hour and started the proceedings . Think Ken Livingstone was supposed to do a song with the Fall as well , cant recall if he did or not , do recall that Charlie from Bolivia was well represented backstage with some serious ego trips on show , still for a couple of us who had seen fuck all like it before , fascinating stuff .

Didn't like the Smiths at the time so didn't bother watchin 'em , nevermind ... or does your question mean the Order joined the Smiffs onstage and I missed it ? And nearly 20 years later I find out

Kylies tune features Blue Monday , did she actualy do the mix , thought it was a bedroom dj's white label ? Talented wee thing int she ? perhaps she can drop the vocals competely out of the mix for Danni's next comeback single. Just a thought

You're right it was a tabacoist Wilson's parents owned not a chip shop.

Question 3. Royal court,Liverpool & G-Mex

Better start on correcting the errors in Ian's quiz: firstly, though it may sound pendantic, I wouldn't connect New Order to the Bee Gees via 'You Should Be Dancing', seen as how it was Monaco who covered the song. Even if you don't consider them two different bands, Ian, I do. Perhaps it's because David Potts did such a great Barney impression, you're still unable to tell the difference between the two.

Also, Kylie Minogue did not remix 'Blue Monday'. Last I heard, she's a singer (& a crap one, at that), not a producer/remixer. What happened was, some bloke mixed Kylie's 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' the most over-played piece of garbage of 2001/02, with the music of 'Blue Monday', as the two went so well together (apparantly). That, Ian, is called a "BOOTLEG". Kylie didn't perform this miracle of modern music, so therefore Ian, your quiz is rendered rather like your beloved home city: shit.

PS On a completely different topic, I don't blame whichever moderator removed the "Post for the victims of Russia" thread from 'Behind Closed Doors', but unfortunately the evidence of His Holiness, The Pope making a complete & utter parasite of himself is now gone, & therefore he'll no doubt believe he can get away with similar acts of sickness whenever the next, inevitable (inter)national tragedy occurs.

The question was what connects though. I know Monaco and New Order are different but Hooky is the person in common. It would have been too easy to say Monaco as that would have given it away so it would have been a trick question.

It wouldn't have been that easy for the NOOL members to answer the question if it said Monaco instead of NewOrder, the Kylie question was still a bigger piece of piss than any of `em. I bet there's a few NO/Monaco fans out there who had no idea Pottsy & Hooky covered 'You Should Be Dancing', as it wasn't released on either of their albums or on any of their singles. Even I forgot they did it for ages!

Y'know Barnsey , I was hopin you'd shit in the fellas cap if it fitted him , was gonna do it meself but after bein a bit disparigin 'bout his Manctourism site , I thought it may come across as a bit bullying . So tongue firmly in cheek I answered a couple of the harder ones , y'know the ones where Salford chippies sold cigs in the unenlightened 60's and Kylies the remix queen Ian a quizmaster you aint , still at least you dont have to give out a prize . Did you know the answers or are you compiling a quiz for the ragweek mag .... do they still have them ? Long time since I was at Uni . Still the faux authority of your posts and threads, the tourism site too , is pretty fookin funny . Me mates love the stuff about muggings, beggars and bus rides . There's a Python sketch about a translation book for tourists , Ian you're the logical successor to that sketch and I mean that as a compliment , you've made a few OLD cynical fuckers laugh 'round our way .

Seems like Manchester was even more backwards in the 60's than it is today, having to buy yer fags from the fish n chip shop!

Ian, your such a great mind on all things Mankyfied, what else went on 40 years ago? Did people have to nip to the sweet shop to buy bog roll? And did the milkman deliver two slabs of tripe every morning...?

IF ? A giant amongst quizmasters .... Paxman must be shittin himself . A LOT OF ? What's that in percentages , a bit more than some of ?

Bless

Look forward to your Christmas bus routes quiz , which bus passes Hooky's house , the 586 ?

Get yourself round to the wildes of Glasgow. I remember an ex-girlfriend's brother having to buy everything from an Ice Cream Van! And, I mean, everything! Freaked me out to hear a tinny Greensleeves right outside their front door at 10pm on a Saturday night in the depths of winter !!!

Used to be a company called Davenport home beer , delivered Ales , Spirits , Babychams and Snowballs for the ladies , cigs etc , their sales pitch was along the lines of if your party runs outta beer , we'll be there .

They didn't take into account what the average partygoer would look like after the bevvie ran out , nice idea on paper

But turnin up on some of the North West's meaner streets with a van full of ale , bound to end in tears

They used to come round us as well, regular orders of bottles of Macky for the old man, for topping up his Gold Label. Great idea in theory, but as you say, when there's no beer, the punter ain't a happy or patient chappy.

Number ten - Bernard said that Michael Jackson was playing with Jordy C. (as in Jordy Chandler) NOT Macaulay. The radio broadcast muffled it sufficiently to make it indistinct - the audio tape didn't !

Why not just delete any offending posts rather than the whole thread.

Would have made more sense, true.

To be fair to Popey, and I'm probably the last person he expects any support from, I think his comment was ill-advised and ill-timed, but not malicious.

Not that logic or rationality should ever be allowed to get in the way of a flame war on here though eh ? Can anyone actually cast the first stone though JSB ?

im like so lost now lol

I hadn't realised it was national , unless me memories gettin selective .

Gold Label , one seriously strong drink , Barley Wine isn't it , old guy who goes in the Bridgewater pub , half of mild in a pint glass topped up with a bottle of Gold Label , maintains a steady pace all Sunday afternoon ; then his daughter picks him up in her car and takes him for his Sunday roast , dont know how , a couple of me mates tried keepin up with him , we left them in the beer garden in a right state . Be another 20 years before I try it again

That lesson has been learnt in Liverpool 'an all.:barf:

I guess it's a right of passage. Then when you're old you learn to sip the fucker and watch the antics of those who; like the youth you once was , will never listen and learn too late :( Never seen a girl drink it though , well; not a classy one

Judging on Castlefields, snowballs are now reserved for the boys in Mcr?

Only when Shuglets in Dukes 92 :D

Yeah, the offending post should have been deleted, not the whole thread which, for the most part, was created & handled in a sensitive & fitting manner. But there you go: just another examples of NOOL moderators doing what they think best & not giving a shit about us mere members.

None, I've said some crappy things at NOOL in the past, & no doubt I'll say some more before I get rid of my computer next month (Ian MadManc & Spike'll still be around, won't they?!), but I would never stoop so low as to post the kind of comment on an international tragedy like "Popey" did. Seeing those scenes on the news made me feel sick, & I felt even more sick after reading what he posted. Maybe his comment wasn't malicious, but his timing couldn't have been worse, &, as far as I've seen up until typing this message right now, His Holiness has not even attempted to try & justify why he acted like such a twatbag.

He was particularly keen to go back there and not a 'real pub'
