POP KWIZ Part 1

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This is a round of questions I have prepared for my work quiz on Weds. The theme is Number Ones. ALL TRU POPTIMISTS should find this peasy and not need Google, apart maybe from hilarious j/k qn 10. The official version of the charts in the GUINNESS BOOK is the one I'm using.

However I am screening all replies so I can announce later which Poptimist has the hugest brain. Try to do without Search Engines.

Answers TOMORROW!

Poley Bear Saved From Extinction (Probably)

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It turns out that reports of Poptimism's demise at the Polar Bear MAY have been exaggerated - they are just closing for a refurb, probably to do something about THE DRAINS, and they don't know how long it will take but they intend to re-book us afterwards. So it's an exile not an exodus. In the meantime we're planning other forms of Poptimist fun to keep the brand spirit alive.

In other news

- Kate Bush's new single turns out to be an Grower. Good old Kate Bush. I wonder if the songs about her nipper will be bearable?

- Does anyone know of pikey free software that can knit MP3s together for a BITS AND PIECES round? I downloaded some yesterday but it will only do three files at a time and I need 10. (I have realised of course that I can just 'chain' the files I make, so ignore this as evidence of my brain being wrong)
