Hi guys, I know we keep coming back to this periodically, but it seems we have a host of new people now who would appreciate doing the quiz again...Let's start with a fairly easy one for the newbies: What is the location for the pic that Gayle uses as an avatar (MK with the German Shepherd)? Just wanted to get the ball rollin again. I'm nearly housebound at this point and need a little mental stimulation for the next few months!!
-
I think it's Montserrat. :) Jacki - I hope you are feeling better, I have been thinking of you! :-*
-
If you are right, Superval, then you get to ask the next question. The person who answers the 100th question right gets to spend a week on a desert island with mk.
-
Yes, it's Montserrat. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Gayle!!!) Doing much better, Val...actually looking forward to 3 months away from the Shark Tank!
Great prize, Marie!! Please tell me you can arrange that!!! :) :P ;D
-
So glad you're felling better Jacki! :) Now here's the next question. When Mark lived in Leeds and met Steve Phillips, they played together in the pubs and clubs. What was the name they gave themselves?
-
Duolian String Pickers ?
-
Yes, Allen, you are correct. Next it's your turn! :)
-
Well, when did MK begin quitting smoking? ;)

Allen
-
1996?
-
Nope, Pottel, not you, hahahaha

I could have sworn it was 1996--Kitty influence. Damn
-
Welllll, MK is still smoking, in my book! And not with ciggies! If you know what I mean.... :P
Otherwise, I have no answer to this question. :(
-
Marie, I know this digresses a little but please leave it for a minute at least...Pottel, please lose the bug. It's creepy!!
-
1997?
-
It's sometime between the end of DS and Golden Heart but I'm not sure of the exact year. And Marie, he was of course seeing Kitty before Golden Heart came out, hence "his darling kitty". :)
-
I FOUND THIS ON A STOP SMOKING WEBSITE...........................http://www.eatingless.com/images/smoking2.gif
SEE END PARAGRAPH. ;D
Gillian Riley's book
How To Stop Smoking And Stay Stopped For Good
is published by Vermilion (Random House UK), priced at
-
I get the feeling that Are we in Trouble Now, Darling Pretty, Golden Heart, and A Night in Summer were all written with Kitty in mind. Sigh.
-
So draad and BBB got the correct answers, you two could ask another, poor Pottel lost it. hehe. Google is very helpful, and more reliable than my memory. I thought it was 2000, :-[

I suck at trivia :'(
-
No takers to my question.!!!!!!!!!!???????????? :o
Cheers BBB

BBB - I only know one half of the answer! ;D
-
my reply to BBB's question:
1) Chuck Loyola
2) John Bratby
draad's question is still alive
-
Sorry BBB - we both got it.
My Q is where does Mark's manager live?
Which one or both ones?
Wishes
Allen
-
London, England? ???
-
Hey Rudiger. Congratulations, you are correct. ;D 8)
Cheers BBB
-
Hey draad, I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'll say Chelsea.
-
You get another turn, draad. Maybe you can find a real zinger that will wake everybody up.
-
Okay, this is verging on personal, but what kind of dog lives at the Knopfler residence?
-
a big one?
-
Nope, not too big. Anyone? Anyone?
-
A Jack Russell terrior? ???
-
Sorry, Joan. It is a breed very worthy of being part of that family...not that a JR isn't...but I recall thinking, "Oh surely! The very sort of dog I would think of there!"
-
A Coyote.? ;)
Cheers BBB ;D
-
LOL, BBB!! You are a card! ;D Okay, another clue: a very elegant little dog. Anyone? Anyone?
-
It's a whippet! :D
-
Shitzu.? ;D
Cheers BBB
-
It really IS a whippet! :D
-
Here is a question:
What is the name of the song Mark co-wrote(really re-wrote) and played on with Clive James?
-
Val, you are SO close, I'll give it to you...actually not quite a whippet, but an Italian greyhound (unless it's the same sort of dog but two different names, in which case I apologize). ;)
-
OK so here's my question, also relating to MK's dog. What is the name of the dog?
-
Fido.
-
Wrong! ;D
-
Whoop de doo?
Coyote?
Vic? Ray? Guy?Sonny?
Best Brown Baggies? Dusty? ::) ::) ::)
-
No-one answering my question?
-
It's "If Love Means Washing Someone Else's Hair" or "Somehow, Somewhere", isn't it? Although a bit much to say MK re-wrote it I think, arranged it is probably more accurate.
-
Sorry WM, none of those. Try again! ;D
-
It's called "If love means brushing someones hair" and Mark did re-write most of it, Clive himself admited that, but the basic melody is Clives, Mark made more of it though.
-
Ok, Val. The name is "Cory" - I'm an insider, sorry. :-X
-
OK Martina, you are the winner! :D Now your question, please. :)
-
How tall is MK? ???
-
5ft 9" ?
-
5 feet 9 inches = 1.75m?? => No :P
-
1.70 m ?
-
5' 10" ?
-
1.70 m ?
No, a hint: he mentioned that he is too tall for sports cars (Maserati 300S)
-
5' 11" ?
-
1.85 m ?
-
He's a giant 8) 8) :P
-
He's a giant 8) 8) :P
Shorter than me. ;)
-
I'm going for 5 foot 9 inches. ps I have a great next question if I win! ;)
-
Sorry draad, I already suggested 5' 9" and it was wrong! Nevermind! ::)
-
I don't know exactly, I was kind of surprised at how "short" he was whan I met him, but that happens a lot as I am 6' 4". I would have guessed he was about 5' 11"/6'.
-
He may be taller than we think. He is a little "hunched" on stage I suspect.
-
It'll take you two days to see me, then, Dusty, as I am only 5'2 1/2". :-\
-
Val, who's right? I'm lookin forward to draad's question...I have a feeling it will be as good as advertised!! ;D
-
Re the Clive James question.............
I spent bloody ages last night, tring to find the answer to this question.
I knew it was on the programme, 'Clive James Goes Country'
I finally tracked it down to the OUATITTV no. 19.
I watched the whole show, only to still not find out the track name.
I also only got the 1st line, which was...........
"If love means brushing someone elses hair"
But didn't think this was the actual title track. But i was obviously wrong. :'(
Great to watch again anyway. ;D
Cheers BBB
-
Yes it was a great show, and good to see Chet Atkins too, and what a gorgeous solo Mark plays, as Clive said just before it "And then Mark showed me why he had sold 130Million albums and I hadn't!!"lol
-
I don't know exactly, I was kind of surprised at how "short" he was whan I met him, but that happens a lot as I am 6' 4". I would have guessed he was about 5' 11"/6'.
I've been told that he is 6' = 1.83m. But sorry no proof here. So Dusty, your turn...
-
OK, what football team did MK "support" as a small child growing up in Glasgow?
-
Rangers?
-
hibernian? lol
-
I think he would support the underdog. Partick Thistle?
-

MK 1.83m?
No way, I'm 1.82 and I am definately taller than he is.
But he plays better guitar than I do, so that equals out :D :D :D
-
Rangers?
Correct, in the STP press kit he says that he remembers being threatened with violence if he didn't say which team he supported, but he blurted out Rangers and got away with it. :)
Your turn Val.
-
What was the name of the Brewer's Droop album featuring Dave Edmunds and Mark?
-
I take the easy one: Booze Brothers
-
Waldo, you are correct. Now your turn! :)
-
OK Val, as you wish ;)
What used to be Mark's little change in the lyrics of Your Own Sweet Way at the NHB rehearsals to drive his fellow Billies desperate?
-
So what is the actual answer to how tall MK is? My friend, who stood next to him, told me he's about 5-foot-10.
I can't imagine he's much taller than that as Guy is taller, and I wouldn't think he's much more than 6-foot, having met him a couple of times.
