What do we fall back on when we can’t be bothered to have an opinion on something? Why Questions Not Good Enough For Only Connect of course! And today it’s a DOUBLE BILL!
Question 1: What connects the following?
- Bill Cullen
- Tokyo Sexwale
- Martha Stewart
- Alan Sugar
The correct answer is, of course, they are all Apprentice bosses – Bill Cullen is the Irish one (I was hoping you might have gone down the US game show host route, but I under/overestimated you), Mosima Gabriel “Tokyo” Sexwale is the South African boss, Martha Stewart was the boss for one series of the US show (usually it’s Donald Trump, obviously) and, of course, grumpy grumpy Alan Sugar is the UK boss.
Dave was the first person to get a correct answer in, so well done to him. He has done a fun Puzzgrid.
Question 2: What comes fourth in the sequence?
- Birmingham
- Carlisle
- Dublin
- ?????
This stumped all of you for a long time, although it is a bit cruel. It is, of course, Panic by The Smiths where there was “panic on the streets of London, panic on the streets of Birmingham,” then some other stuff, “but there’s panic on the streets of Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, Humberside…” they are the named places where there is panic on the streets in Panic by The Smiths and the fourth in this sequence is therefore Dundee because I was mean in starting partway through the song.
Congratulations to last year’s Fantasy X Factor winner Mark D for working that out after three clues.
I have a stormer of a connection for tomorrow, but it’s so good (or I think so anyway) I might have to offer it to David B first this evening, once I’ve sourced the pictures. Thanks for playing!
