Double double denim

aaronjennings

That went as badly as I was worried it would...

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Argh, said 1997 for Robbie Williams, after dismissing '95 and '96 as "Being Too Early"...

Also, couldn't remember One True Voice for the life of me and I had watched Popstars: The Rivals...

8/10 after null points on the Sports is a nice bounce back judging by how much people seemed to have struggled with the Music Round.

Who got Christmas tree right? That’s a forest not a fecking farm!

I only got it because my wife is a big fan of Christmas FM when it's on, and they played Taylor Swift's song about a Christmas tree farm a fair bit.

Trigger

One.. I'm going to play the deaf card now so...

At least they don't have pre-ripped holes in their knees, because that's fashionable, apparently

That's ok, I'm fully expecting to have to play the stupid card at some stage.

Collie D

I Googled Taylor Swift (after submitting) and her dad worked for Merrill Lynch and mother was a marketing executive or something. Where did the farm come into it?

the purple tin

I thought Bruno Marrs was Pete Steele :rolleyes:

Baggly

Oh were they wearing denim under the self satisfaction?

Sephiroth_dude

2 ? really just two right that round!

Trigger

Baggy being very consistent 553333

Mullets are back in fashion in Leaving Cert. I'm looking at some of my classes and in my head thinking 'you will regret that haircut'.

I said Pitbull....because Hernandez is a Hispanic name and also Pete kinda sounds like Pit. But then again you would need the loosest possible definition of the word 'singer' if you were to describe him as one.

Kolido

Let's have a look at some of answers submitted

What was Margaret Thatcher's middle name?

Agatha

Anne

Carol


Which sports star has the most followers on Instagram?

Neymar

Tiger Woods

Conor McGregor

Trigger

Surprised my "Dot Cotton" isn't up there :pac:

Hillybilly4

I think I might like Taylor Swift more if she HAD grown up on a chicken farm. You can never quite shed that smell of chicken poop...Christmas Trees are just so...piney, like toilet cleaner...

So did I! Same reasoning! We're samesies again!

Neymar is mine. If it’s Ronaldo I’ll cry.
