I think you should specify that no use of Google is allowed! Honesty required people!

Thought everyone on here was honest.

I have to be honest and say I have no idea for any of the questions, but I shall do some research and know for next time I hear these questions - you never know when Chris Tarrent will call!!

3 Westlife or Boyzone (not sure which)

Hmm, in that case is the answer to 3 Take that??

Its a 60s group with 4 male members.

Not in any books either but i think it was one of the Beatles,

It was Paul McCartney.

He wrote "Woman" for Peter and Gordon,
and wanted to prove he could write a hit without his
famous name being attached to it.

It reached just inside the top 30 (no. twenty eight) in 1966.

oops, dont know how to spell Z & E

What is the connection between Jefferson Airplane AND Wing Commander F.F.E.Yeo-Thomas ??

Well JGG,

You've got me a bit here,

All i can gather without googling is that they released a song about him (White Ladder).

Had to phone my Father in the UK and all he knows was that maybe he was a World War 2 hero.

You will have to enlighten me.
