Over to you then Martin.

In honour of Radio 4, who supplied me with the knowledge of the answer, who composed the BBC Radio 4 UK Theme which stopped being broadcast in 2006?

Already asked, above is my question...

Doh. Sorry Martin. Page had not updated.

It's old age mate!

 

[spkennyuk]

It's old age mate!

One of us is still 45

 

[midlifecrisis]

Moving on....

 

[zagatoes30]

and the question is? Radio 4 now I remember..

 

[spkennyuk]

I have no idea on this question.

I dont think i have ever listened to radio 4. Is it a Saga approves station.

 

[zagatoes30]

Me neither, not sure I can count that high - 1 & 0 are the height of my numerical ability

Thought, that in this day and age you could count up to F...

Looks like I've stumped the forum. I'll give it till 8pm and I'll give you the answer.

Who would possibly know sh!t like that? Come on guys make it plausible; its question of the day, not I know more than you.

Oh come on, we've had some very obscure questions on here. The answer is Fritz Spiegl. He based it on many common musical themes.

OK an easier one.
Name all counties of Northern Ireland?

 

[zagatoes30]

Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Tyrone

Am I going to hear a Qi klaxon?

 

[BennyD]

I would have said the same 6, so I'll hear it as well!

 

[midlifecrisis]

That's spot on, FATLAD.

A mate who's married to an Ulsterwoman told me that mnemonic back in the 90's and I've never forgotten it.

Fermanagh,
Antrim,
Tyrone,
Londonderry,
Armagh,
Down.

Your go.

Now if you had given a cryptic clue of: A German and sales patter then we may have got close to the answer. It was just one of those questions you either know or you dont.

Clues always help for the more obscure questions.

My turn again, let's go back to motorsport

There are only 3 countries whose drivers have had a single Formula 1 Grand Prix victory, can you name the countries and each driver ?

 

[GeoffCapes]

Wasn't Max Verstappen the first Dutch winner last year?

 

[GeoffCapes]

Isn't Maldonado from Peru or Venezuela or somewhere like that? I think he won one the other year.
I can't think of any other drivers from either country. Although to be fair my GP knowledge goes back about as far as Ayton Senna.
