Sunday Quiz 19th December HO HO HO!
Hello my fellow tort lovers, this weeks quiz has a special theme: can you guess what it might be?
The first ten questions are all lines from Christmas carols - simply name the carol 1) Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la Deck The Halls 2) The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing of the choir The Holly And The Ivy 3) Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying sealed in the stone-cold tomb We Three Kings 4) In fields where they lay keeping their sheep on a cold winter's night that was so deep The First Noel 5) The cattle are lowing the baby awakes Away In A Manger 6) Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Silent Night 7) With the poor and mean and lowly, lived on Earth our saviour Holy Once In Royal David's City 8) Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel O Come, O Come Emanuel 9) O sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation O Come All Ye Faithful 10) When a poor man came in sight, Gath'ring winter fuel Good King Wenceslas Next are a few stills from classic Christmas films - name them!: 11) Elf 12) Miracle On 34th Street 13) A Muppet Christmas Carol 14) It's A Wonderful Life Lets have a few themed questions: 15) In what language do they say 'Joyeux Noel'? French 16) The last chapter of the short story collection 'The Dubliners' was a brilliantly gloomy Christmas tale called 'The Dead'. Which Irish writer wrote it? James Joyce 17) In what country does a character called Babushka deliver Christmas presents? Russia 18) Christina Rosetti was a poet and sister of celebrated artist Dante Gabriel Rosetti. But what lovely yet bleak Christmas Carol did she write? In The Bleak Midwinter Who sang these Christmas number ones and what year? (so that's 2 possible points for each question) 19) Mull of Kintyre Wings - 1977 (Paul McCartney will do) 20) Lonely This Christmas Mud - 1974 21) Don't you want me baby? The Human League - 1981 22) Stay Another Day East17 - 1994 23) A Moment Like This Leona Lewis - 2006 (although I will also accept Kelly Clarkson who apparently did the original) 24) Saviour's Day Cliff Richard - 1990 25) Mr Blobby (go on - you can guess at this one!) Mr Blobby (you can have a point for Edmonds his evil puppet master) - 1993 And finally - we can all name Santas reindeers (Rudolph, Dasher, Donner, Blitzen, Prancey, er Chilli, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub) but owing to the backlog caused by the snow Santa has hired two new helpers to help him out this year Can you name them for a point each? Lily Lewin Marly Santa will think you have been extra good if you enter the quiz so good luck! Have a wonderful, wonderful festive season and I hope that you pull a cracker Last edited by WriterNick; 19-12-2010 at 11:41 PM. |

There are some really good answers in so far so keep them coming! And Shell you can send in a third part as well if you want to guess what year the Christmas number one songs are from - there is a point for that as well!

Some great answers in so far! But I have now discovered that two singers sang one of the songs on my list, so as it's a time of goodwill to all tortoises, you can have a point for naming either of the singers
The quiz deadline is 10 tonight as I'm watching the Apprentice final! Good luck! |
