Thank you Gill and there I will hang my hat as quizmaster.
A big thanks to you, Alan & Carole for your continued participation. I’m super impressed with your general knowledge.
Q398. Early in his singing career, who was sometimes billed as “The Twisting Vocalist from Pontypridd”?
Tom Jones (was never a great fan of him)
Q399. In astronomy, which stars are the hottest e.g. blue stars, white stars or yellow stars?
Think it’s blue,( as I remember thinking at the time it would make more sense if it was ‘red hot’
and ‘blue with cold’).
Q400. Which city in Pennsylvania USA was the setting for the “Rocky” films?
Never seen them, so will guess Pittsburg.
Congratulations on making it to 400!
Tom Jones
Blue
The only city I know of in Pennsylvania is Philadelphia as in Bruce Springsteens song, another of my favourites so will go with Philadelphia
