Continuous Music Quiz

[The Fex]

Res has four out of seven (I'm docking him one point for failure to end a question with a question mark, and awarding myself that point for pedantry).

First one to post all seven correct answers in one post wins.

Some time this year would be good.

If 3. was Paul and Linda McCartney, was the truth about the sandwich that it actually had meat in it, and nobody told them?

Sorry. As you were. I'm not here.

I don't think it would have bothered them, since they weren't vegetarians at the time, so two smart-ass points to me. Res was right about the sandwich.

Sod you lot, then. I'm going to bed. Fight it out amongst yourselves.

Larry Hagman checked Moon into rehab, BTW.

Disraeli

Congratulations Hakey you spotted my deliberate mistake there
Duly corrected

[The Fex]

Well, you took your time....

Res wins, but with two more points docked. (One for misspelling Disraeli, and one for misuse of quote tags. I hate that.)

[hakey]

No pedantry points, because the First Lord of the Treasury is more commonly referred to as the Prime Minister, regardless of his official title, and has been for centuries.

Sorry, an appeal to common usage is no defence against pedantry - you should know that Fex.

So, what are you saying? That Disraeli wasn't P.M.?

I'm annoyed now. My city is burning and I'm under curfew. I'm fining Res another point for missing a space between Hagman and the parenthesis.

I must be on minus points by now.

Officially he wasn't the Prime Minister, he was the First Lord of the Treasury. The first leader of the British govt. given the official title Prime Minister was Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman in 1905. It's a factoid that often comes up as question in quizes, eg. 'who was the first official British PM?' - IIRC it was even featured on an edition of QI.

And surely a pedant would always wish to point out where common usage is at variance with the official account?
