Pub Trivia - AKA things that may be beyond the scope of Moorey’s knowledge

OK. Either Great Bustard or Kori Bustard (as I mentioned earlier, conflicting lists) were what I was after. Getting up to 20kg, I guess they could be called Fat Bustards.

Do I give it to @fatboyonabike for being inadvertantly close, or throw it open?

 

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

Give it to Fatboy

 

[moorey]

Give it to Fatboy

Agreed. Move on.

 

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

Fuck it. Fatboys disappeared. The floor is open. First in best dressed

‘Goodbye Molly Gray’ was an old American song sometimes wrongly attributed to Squizzy Taylor’s GF (also molly gray). Who stole the tune and adapted it to a commonly heard song in Australia?

 

[Dales Cannon]

Fruit salad, yummy yummy? Or it's a long way to the top if you are riding an orange?

I have a sneaking suspicion I won't know either the original or adapted version.

You may not know it well, but you’ll know it. I hate that I know it.

I refuse to answer. Last time I heard a question like that, it was on Spicks and Specks and it led to a bunch of greedy copyright lawyers suing Men At Work for millions and inadvertently caused the death of Greg Ham

I'll hazard a guess at Slim Dusty, in which case "tune" is a very loosely-applied term....

You’d love these guys to be sued into oblivion and close up shop.

It’s a sporting team. The cadence of the title will give you a hint.

Speaking of repurposed songs that annoy the fuck out of you, Coles have been flogging Status Quo’s ‘Down down’ for years now but can you name the two original members of the band?

 

[The Duckmeister]

Francis Rossi bounces into mind, but I draw a blank on anyone else.

I am going to jump in with a sideline question..going back to the flight theme!
What is the oldest manmade object now in outer space somewhere, and approx how old?
