oh and are there gonna be more questions on this subject?

btw. once in a competition 2 years ago, I also said If You Tolerate This THEN Your Children Will Be Next

on which Australia promo was that misprint?

It was an Austrailian promo of Tolerate, a radio promo I think, there must be photos online somewhere!

Oops, missed this. Oh, and "If You Tolerate This THEN Your Children Will Be Next" is also on the "A Collection" double cd promo thing from 2001.

I'm gonna do Manics guy's second questions and see where my overall score sits. My guess is last.

Edit: 18. I was last

I bet the half of us wouldn't answer the half of the questions, it's easy to judge sitting in a cosy armchair.

Watched this just now, enjoyed it. I would have done well on the Manics one as I got right the ones he got wrong although I didn't know the name of the place the band played their first gig, I think that was the only I got wrong.
My general knowledge would have let me down badly though haha Least he won, yay.

[HampdenManic]

YES! YES! Go on my son!

[Abstract Unknown Girl]

As predicted I knew there'd be people on here going 'ooh I got them ALL right'

Well done Manics fan bloke! I thought his general knowledge round was more impressive tbh.
