Pickled Egg Quiz

[NewcastleFalcon]

The worldle was also a slice of fortune, going on those distances after 4 guesses where on earth....? Picked first unknown from the dropdown list and struck lucky!!

Havent looked I your spoiler Mick, but that helped got in in 2 after regurgitating Nauru as my first guess

Here's the bloke who discovered it given 5 minutes of fame on the FCF.

Back in 1971 had a great holiday in Cornwall, staying in Breage near Helston. This was in the charts at the time.

For 6½ points - where did Curved Air get their name from ? You get minus points if you have to look it up

Anything to do with the album Rainbow in Curved Air?

[bobins]

It has everything to do with that album, Mick

[mickthemaverick]

I know nothing more than that, I only knew about the album because back in those days I had to share a record player with my sister and we each had our records either side of the player on the sideboard. That album was one of hers and the sleeve was often to be seen on top of my records when she was playing it!! Had a chap's face on it with the album name across it.

6½ points duly awarded The album certainly wouldn't be to everyone's taste - not by a long way, but the chap that made it is one of those incredibly important people in the evolution of modern music that not many people have heard of. And I happen to think the album art is superb - brings a smile to my face (and his)

Years since I have heard of Curved Air but mentions on here and another forum both today.

Just looked it up, the chap's name was Terry Riley and you're quite right - never heard of him!

Worldle Wordle Nerdle Heardle

My scores
lack of knowledge of area hence fail but near miss, 3, 3 (and a "good job" compliment thrown in!), and I could have heard the track right through I wouldn't have got it. No chance with the Heardle.

[mickthemaverick]

Rdle score for today: Best cumulative yet due to some fortunate guesses I got 3, 4, 2, and never heard of the song or artist!!

I suppose everyone does it....use as many different numbers as you can in the first guess! on Nerdle.

My standard is 104-98=6

[mickthemaverick]

Yes I certainly do although I devise a different one each time. Likewise I always start wordle with a 3 vowel word!!
