Falcon's early blast secures win

Original (2 secs) 60's (17 secs) 70's (5 secs) 80's (17 secs)
Match analysis
Contest was over as Falcon hit top form with the regulars. racing into an unassailable 4-0 lead.
Heardle brought on some obscure replacements as Falcon took the foot off the gas, for some late consolation.

Original: Fail although recognised
Sixties: Fail-ish. Knew it but the text I entered gave nothing - well, "Ferry Cross The Mersey" ?
Seventies: Fail
Eighties: Fail
Nineties: Fail
00s: Fail
New 00s. Fail

[mickthemaverick]

Blew out on the 60s as I knew the group after 3 secs but couldn't think of the title.
70s. 2 secs
The rest a complete blank!!

[myglaren]

Fail on all of them.

[NewcastleFalcon]

Heardle edges it with a bit of Trance!
Falcon 3 Heardle 4
60's (17 secs) 70's (2 secs) 80's (8 secs)
Match analysis
Early lead for Falcon, but Heardle struck back late Hat-trick, including some ungettable
Trance, bass house, electro house, deep house, future house, tropical house, progressive house, big room house, future bounce, progressive trance, slaphouse, or whatever you call it from a Dutch DJ. Hardly Falcon's comfort zone!

I recognised the intro of the 60s in 2secs and knew the artist but no idea of the title.
It didn't get any better so a complete blank for me today!!

[NewcastleFalcon]

Heardle races away with it in added time
Falcon 2 Heardle 5
70's (2 secs) 80's (12 secs)
Match analysis
For the regulars the spoils were shared at 2-2, but when heardle brings on the obscures from the bench, at 90, always the chance of an added time hat-trick which was the story today. Half a chance for Falcon with the 90's, but not taken.

Regards Neil

[myglaren]

None at all.

Spoiler: show

The town blanked out is Trollhattan the home of Saab Automobile whose site is now occupied by NEVS, National Electric Vehicle Sweden. Famed for its involvement in the development of Hydroelectric Power (my trivia submission ) as a result of the magnificent falls:

BFTW

The colour code stands for Brilliant Yellow and was in use in 1972-3.

Nicely done Mick, If I was asked to point out on a map of Sweden where it was I wouldn't have a clue, I would be useless on Swedish University Challenge geography questions The usual Monday night quiz fest for the second week running, has been moved to Tuesday because of the rugby league World Cup. I would watch England v New Zealand or England v Australia, but the too many one-sided matches hold no interest for me.

TOH from my visit to my daughter when they were living in Gothenburg I think it is about 60 miles north of there. Tris and I were going to have a drive up and look round but we got talked into a boat trip to view a yacht race instead!!

Many years ago I visited the SAAB factory - not the car one, but the aircraft one Surprised to see in the cockpit one of their fighter aircrafts on the production line a switch that went from 'War' to 'Peace'. If only it were that easy We also had a look around their old underground aircraft factory from WW2 - no photos were allowed, but it was an astonishing place. Loads of spare parts for all sorts of their old aircraft. More info : https://www.saab.com/newsroom/stories/2 ... d-workshop
