It’s lunchtime, on the day of the Saint Patrick’s Night.
And I’m blogging about something I like doing.
For those of my readers who hadn’t realised, my one remaing quiz is 8•30pm, Thursdays, at the Hutton, in Hutton.
And, for those of you unfamiliar with them, let me just give you the format I use.
It’ll be a sixty question quiz – six rounds, ten questions per round, with a joker – with the Saint Patrick’s theme covered by this week’s table round.
I don’t pre-announce the rounds, in case you’re asking. So you play you Joker when I announce the name of the round.
And, as you may have guessed, I’ve this bad habit of … ah … previewing the table round. In case you’ve not seen the ones I’m planning to use tonight, you can find them here.
But just in case …
Q1) Which Irish group have an album called “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb”?
Q2) By what other name is the song “Londonderry Air” better known?
Q3) Which Irish judge adjudicates at the ‘X-Factor’ talent show?
Q4) “Mandinka” was the first hit for which Irish singer?
Q5) Which Irishman took over from Terry Wogan, as presenter of Eurovision?
Q6) U2 are the biggest selling Irish act of all time; – who’s the second biggest?
Q7) Who had the 2008 Xmas in the Irish singles chart?
Q8) How many members did Boyzone have?
Q9) In which Irish city did alt rockers My Bloody Valentine form, in 1984?
Q10) Pogues original name was Pogue Mahone; – what’s the rather cheeky English translation of the phrase?

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
