  Pop Trivia

  by Simon in

  2. entertainment

  so many serious topics lately ... so for anyone who wants a break, it's trivia time and the subject is pop music.. which act is the only one to have a top 100 hit both before, during and after the beatles had theirs?.

  no googling.

  if you guess, you also need to add a trivia question for others to answer..

  It's the annoying Lady Grantham from Downton - Elizabeth McGovern.

  Can't think of much of a trivia question right now other than perhaps whose amp goes up to 11?

  ....is that it has totally wiped away the distinct celebration of november 5th and bonfire night.

  fireworks and bonfires are still ubiquitous this time of year but it's just merged in with halloween which, whilst always being celebrated, was not as promoted and so overwhelming as it is now.. bring back the guy!.

  Love the comments! When I was brought up as a Witness my parents did not allow us to attend any displays due to the religious history of the event but we were allowed to watch from our bedroom windows like some poor Victorian paupers peering through the frosted panes at the rich children enjoying their presents, as if characters in a Dickensian novel.

  What I found out in later years is many Witnesses did not really worry too much and would attend public displays. We went and watched our local big display over the weekend along with all the torches etc. etc. I know elders attend and there are loads of IGs going round of Witnesses going along.

  Having your own firework party this time of year is a deffo no no but the whole entry into winter with jacket tatties, mulled wine and chestnuts is really nice.

  The overtness of Halloween just seems to spoil the cosy side of our particular take on this time of year...

  P.S. Sorry for those outside of the UK but this is a bit of parochial soap boxing.

  I know that there was a congregation disbanded in Portishead, near Bristol.

  Does anyone else know of any others that have been "let go" in the south of England recently?

  Yet another item about funds. The mixed messages here have never been so exposed. Time and time again we are told change is for anything but financial need yet the begging continues.
