Quiz notes




Another Nail in my Heart? Black Coffee in Bed? OK, then how about Pulling Mussels from a Shell? Squeeze, of course, one of the greatest half dozen or so bands ever to come out of Britain.

*Ten: eight arms and two tentacles. So the woman's got the right number but the wrong way round.
