Well the question was the one about Eight Days A Week.

The 'right' answer was 'John's chauffeur'...
but in the book Many Years From Now, Paul specifically points out that the title was inspired from a chauffeur he'd never seen before who was driving him out to John's house, so it couldn't possibly have been Alf Bicknell, John's chauffeur, who he knew very well.

Was this the question you were thinking of?

Yes, I was talking about the chauffeur question! I never want to say too much, cos it could spoil someone's enjoyment of the quiz. I fluffed up one question today, and will have to go and bury my nose in a book! If only my teachers at school had inspired me to learn random facts like this, I'd be so well qualified today!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!

I think it's interesting to talk about the answers once the scores have been added up for the day.
I don't think there are that many wrong answers in fact just the occasional one.

There are only a few wrong answers that I've come across. The problem is usually in the way that the question has been asked. Some of them are extremely misleading. And some are almost impossible to interpret. But the main problem I find is people not making it clear whether they're talking about US or UK releases.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

Yeah. The question about I Me Mine being the last recording under the Beatles name was explained in an extremely convoluted way even if, in the end, it was in fact the right answer.

Try and play DM's own Trivia Quiz every day! Ten questions every day, differing from easy to hard. But besides giving the right answer, there's a clock ticking as well! Whoever gets the most right answers and in the fastest time, wins! You can play every day of the week, but only once a day. There's a weekly competition as well.


What's the weekly competition?

Thanks. I can change it once in a while to refresh looks.

In fact, the question is quite clear. Think into the 90's.

Are you talking about All Things Must Pass? Yeah, it was a bit of a sneaky question.

Well, I'll be away for the next week so today will probably be my last shot for this month.

Good look to everyone chasing after Bobber and Blue Meanie!

Damn. You and Bobber away, just when it was looking like being a fairly tight race between three or four of us.

The All Things Must Pass one is a bit sneaky, but we have had it a couple of times before.

I'll be back for most of November, when the real battle will commence... now that I'm getting used to the questions!
