I think we will pause this for the weekend, I might not be around to reply to any lifeline requests on time.

I'm 100% unsure!
RE: Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire? - E.N. - 22-10-2021
Right, the coin toss didn't work so I pieced together my limited knowledge, applied some dubious logic and made an (almost) educated guess. I reckon I'm about 60% confident, so not bad
Got to save those lifelines in case I get to the business end of things...

I thought Bridge of Spies was a movie? Tom Hanks in it maybe? Was it based on a book?
What I'm saying is don't phone me.

I see it is a BH back home this weekend, so lets continue on Tuesday. Enjoy folks.
RE: Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire? - E.N. - 22-10-2021
Phew!
I knew The Cure were older than that and was fairly sure Depeche Mode were too
I thought the Saw Doctors debut was All The Way from Tuam but I just looked and that was their second album, got lucky there

Thank you @Leg End Reject for the help on this one, I did not have a scooby-doo today

Jeremy Clarkson-under-COVID rules, two Phone A Friends?
RE: Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire? - Kol - 22-10-2021
TBH, I had a different question lined up for today, though the consensus here seemed to suggest that the questions are getting too difficult to soon?
I thought everyone knew Carol Decker and T'Pau?

RE: Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire? - quickbeam - 22-10-2021
I know Carol Decker and T'Pau but I hadn't a clue of their album. I Asked the Audience today - a good choice, as there was no ambiguity in the result - 100% on T'Pau.
All questions are easy if you know the answer. I have found the last few more difficult than I'd expect. But then, a €32K or a €64K one might be a doddle to me because that's what I happen to know. Up to you to judge how difficult questions are getting @Kol .

No, Phone A Friend today was my first lifeline used
As far as the questions being too hard:
It's only easy if you know the answer

The questions are tricky alright, but I'd say probably about right. This is about the point that you'd expect to start seeing people slip up

I recognised all the band names but that's it, but then I was only 2 in 87 lol.
A question is only easy if you know the answer.
RE: Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire? - quickbeam - 22-10-2021
I was nearly a teenager in 1987 but it still didn't help me

(22-10-2021, 04:35 PM)E.N. Wrote: Phew!This was my reasoning also. It couldn't be The Cure or Depeche Mode as they were surely earlier. It was down to T'Pau (all I know of them is China in your hand, and I remember my loving that song) or the Saw Doctors. I thought Saw Doctors would have been a bit later, and I thought their album had something to do with Galway. Very lucky here also!

RE: Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire? - Zaph - 22-10-2021
I was 20 in 1987, so this was one I knew straight away. If it had been an album from 2017 I'd more than likely have been screwed.
RE: Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire? - quickbeam - 22-10-2021
Age would actually have little effect on me. I'd probably do better with an album that came out before I was born than anything when I was "of age", as that's what I listen to most.

If it was a question on the film, I'd have been flying. I thought it was too, when I first started reading.
