In which case......it sounds mad enough to be from Peter Gabriel's time at Genesis

It might sound like something from Nursery Cryme but it isn't. Think a couple of years earlier and even more madcap.

From their song "Tent":

I'm gonna get you in my tent tent, tent, tent, tent
We'll find out where the woozle went, went, went, went, went
We'll fill his footprints with cement, ment, ment, ment
We'll dance the tango in my tent

Your turn...

Paul McCartney but no idea of the pseudonym

It was indeed Paul McCartney. Any offers on the rather unusual pseudonym?

Probably one of these: Percy "Thrills" Thrillington, Clint Harrigan, Apollo C. Vermouth, Paul Ramon, Bernard Webb (see #26,681)

Probably one of these: Percy "Thrills" Thrillington, Clint Harrigan, Apollo C. Vermouth, Paul Ramon, Bernard Webb (see #26,681)

It is indeed. Rather than wait for someone to guess the definite article ( ) I will answer it myself - it is Apollo C. Vermouth. I believe it was the only record produced under that name.

I think it would be fair to ask @SteveM70 to set the next question.

 

[SuspectUsual]

Thanks

How many areas of outstanding beauty are there in England, Wales and Northern Ireland?

 

[xotGD]

37

 

[D6130]

29?

 

[yoyothehobo]

0

 

[SuspectUsual]

0 is the correct answer. They were renamed as National Landscapes a couple of weeks ago, for reasons unclear to me

(There had been 46)

For @yoyothehobo to designate the next question

 

[yoyothehobo]

AS Pirae played in the 2021 Fifa World Club Cup.

They have also in the last couple of weeks played in the French National Cup.

In which territory do they play?

I’ll take a shot at Dubai…totally random, no knowledge of football, think it may be a trick question…

Nope, not Dubai

 

[Gloster]

Reunion?

 

[yoyothehobo]

Reunion?

Nope, for once a question by me doesnt have the answer of Reunion. Correct thinking though

 

[xotGD]

French Guiana?

 

[MotCO]

Monaco or Andorra?

 

[Calthrop]

…totally random, no knowledge of football, think it may be a trick question…

I'm in the same boat -- but "Pirae" suggests to me (probably wrongly) the port for Athens -- Greece?

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Good question this, but wouldn't have ever guessed the correct answer anytime soon.

 

[Gloster]

St Pierre et Miquelon?
